Akshow: The hypocrisy of Nairaland bigots never cease to amuse me. The Same people celebratin and jubilatin that White men honoured achebe are the first to find fault wit the Nobel and label it a White man's trophy simply because na yoruba win am. Funny lots. Prof achebe, you deserve every praise showered on you cos you are truly the father of African lit

Well he can still get a post-humous nobel award and his kinsmen can shove it inside his grave. grin

onegig: abi+o. Even the thread title is wrong. There is nothing American senators, it is america senators or american senate. Is there a non american senate?

I'm sure they meant to write senate because "senators" would have taken a plural verb too (pass).

For those who don't know;
ACHEBE is in the list of 50 greatest writers in the world to have never won a nobel.
That is a direct indictment on the incompetency and racial bias of the nobel commitee.

This goes to show that Achebe was and is still the greatest African dead or living.

He made Africa known to the world. Peter Obi should brace up to be able to manage crowd because the entire world is coming to Anambra to pay their last honor to the greatest asset out of Africa.

solomon111: if not for ethnic bigotry,you should be angry that the white racists did not award him a noble prize.
Anyway,don't be too sure of yourself,with the way encomiums are pouring in,he may be awarded a noble prize post-humously.


The same white racists gave Nobel to Wole Soyinka a Nigerian and also to many black Africans, but they are racists because they didn't give ashebe the Nobel, they are racists..


Now who is really playing ethnic bigotry? YOU.

Cusubaba: Haba timid tribal ape![b] Chinua Achebe, the father of African Modern Literature [/b]is not good to you because he is an Igbo man. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the first African to be world bank Managing Director is not good to you because she is an Igbo woman. Emeka Anyaoku, the first African to be Commonwealth Secretary General is not good to you because he is an Igbo man. Haba bastard, why are u a bitter ape?

Which organisation gave him the award?

Which year was he given?

Where was the award ceremony held.

Who is the father of ancient African literature?

Who is the father of Modern Asian European and Oceanic literature? Abi the award is only for Africans?

Schizophrenia(kolo mental
/madness)isn't just when you walk about naked and dance ETIGHI on the streets and market square. It also manifests in different forms; irrational, incoherent, disoriented as well as depressive comments( just like this one am quoting). So i strongly advice, you seek for a medical attention(mental status examination) before its too late. THAT IS A PROFESSIONAL ADVICE and no harm intended. Thanks for your co-operation.

There 're implicit conditions attatched to winning nobel price, which analist suggested achebe my be uncomfortable with.
research suggested, and besides his writing was sharp to upturn a decade of believe projected by whites, the same people that give nobel price

Rest On African Shakespeare.

I still struggle to come to terms that you have passed on to the Land of Our Fathers'. Indeed when death comes to a compound and you complain you do not have a seat for him, he replies, 'don't worry, I have come with my own stool'

I am proud that I came to know and meet you. Adieu Iroko, a proud Igbo man. Adieu Papa.

The Nobel Prize needs Achebe, Achebe doesn't really need the Nobel Prize.

Salt adds sweetness to a soup, no matter how good it looks. It's still needs salt.

Achebe adds credibility to the Nobel Prize and certainly not the other way round.
