Cusubaba: Haba timid tribal ape! Chinua Achebe, the father of African Modern Literature 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?She is an unrepentant tribalist. Ikenna must ban her type PERMANENTLY from politics section. |

WHEREAS, Armed with a humanistic spirit and imbued with a sense of compassion, Chinua Achebe leaves behind a legacy which will long endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all he served and befriended; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to mourn the death of paramount novelist Chinua Achebe, founder and pioneer of African literature; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to the family of Chinua Achebe. WOW! There was a MAN! 2 Likes |

Founder and pioneer of African literature? Even giants like Diop, Mudimbe, Senghor cannot claim this title. Dear God, those senators just embarassed themselves - Achebe's achievements can stand on its own two feet. Any attempt to embellish his record ends up cheapening it. |

What, which, and where is the embelishment? The senate has a right to assess and evaluate African writers using their own standards, not yours. And if they judge Chinua as a pioneer, so be it. Is your point that they must agree with your cock-eyed evaluation |

naijaking1: There is nothing rooster eyed about it. Achebe is not the pioneer or founder of African literature. Neither is Soyinka btw, in case you think I'm being tribalistic. If Achebe rightfully rejected the awards given to him by the FG, he would also in principle reject this award. This is fraud, plain and simple. |

birdman:You're still arguing blindly!! A resolution means they have a right to judge, asses, evaluate, and rate Achebe according to their own standards, not yours. They could have labelled him the Smartest writer in the whole World, and you can't challange it, because it's their "understanding" Resolutions usually speak about 'the most delicious cake ever made' the most beautiful bird in the World, and the biggest hero from a war. You just can't sit there and pull out your hair, because you didn't agree; unfortunately for you, you don't belong to the senate to argue otherwise. Until then, get some sleep. 1 Like |

Is it that yaba left has gone extinct or that the doctors are no longer working? The kind of lunatic yoruba people that I'm seeing here is becoming a thing of worry. I wonder it would've been if govKt hadn't blessed the yorubas with such a venture like yaba left. 1 Like |

Re: American Senators Pass Resolution On Achebe by Magicdon(m): 7:42pm On Apr 18, 2013 |
Get dis clear u punk asses. I believe if Achebe was awarded the nobel prize award, he would have thrown it back at them just as he did the National honors award. He rejected d national honors n would even reject d nobel prize awards. Things fall apart is the second best selling book after the bible. It sold 70 millions copies. The nobel prize needs Chinua, the nobel committee will be proud to have Achebe's name written in gold on their list, he dont need it anymore cos he is long overdue for it. They should go to hell with d Nobel prize. They are shy of givin him cos people will definitely condemn them, asking what took them so long. He opened the eyes of the outside world to their preconceptions of Africa! Achebe is the greatest writer in Africa, dead or alive. The Shakespear of Africa! |
Re: American Senators Pass Resolution On Achebe by Magicdon(m): 8:03pm On Apr 18, 2013 |
birdman:you are right bro, he will definitely reject the nobel prize award if they gave wen he was alive. They should go n die wit the Nobel award. |
