You wonder why these two Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda didn’t get Nobel prize… Well it’s because hack writers like them were accused with evidence of plagiarism.

The title of “Things Fall Apart, the center cannot hold” is taken from the poem “The Second Coming,” which was written by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats in 1919, after the end of the First World War and during the Irish civil war which followed independence.

Achebe is like that Jamb girl that cheated and tried to bully her way to win an award. That’s why he was envious of Prof Soyinka Nobel prize.
Tueh 🤧

Search “Things fall apart William Butler Yeats” on Twitter or any media platform and you will see Europeans referencing that phrase to the Rightful poet” he went further to even copy the character in the original version.

In 1996 Giwa submitted her book to the Uk library, In 1998, Chinua Achebe received Giwa’s manuscript Book “Sade” to Heinamman Nigeria Limited where he was the board of directors. Few years along the line @ChimamandaReal whom is very close to Chinua Achebe and supposedly lives with him got inspired.

Charles Nnolim, His kinsman from Anambra state also accused him of plagiarizing “Arrow of God” 🤭😬

Baba was doing copy and paste since the 50s… he passed it on the Joe Biden poet writer Chimamanda 🤭

Hide your books from them oo.🧏🏾‍♂️

You picked the wrong people, cause these people are doing great without your yeye prize

Even in death, Chinua Achebe is more popular than Wole Soyinka.

Chinua Achebe rejected your worldly conferment, awards that does not represent the realities on ground

Chinua Achebe was consistent all through his life!!!

Their books/works was used nationwide till date!

Great people recognize great work

The rate at which you guys propagate lies on Nairaland these days is alarming

Writing about Chimamanda may be reasonable. However, I am struggling to understand what you intend to achieve writing about Chinua Achebe. He is dead. Years ago. Hence, not dragging for the fame or price.

Unless you are trying to give NCAN members something to salivate on. Irrespective of your actions, respect the dead.

A certain wowan gave her manuscript titled "Sade" to Chinua Achebe who later handed the manuscript to Chimamanda who then went ahead to plagiarize the manuscript into her own book. The woman called out Chimamanda but she couldn't deny it. The news was on FP, if you check, you'd find it. But my first of hearing that of " things fall apart"..

They are both overhyped plagiarists.. serious offense in the academic world.

Unlike Nigerians that are easily swayed by headless mobs and sentiments, the White people do their due dilligence well to see who actually worth the recognition which is how Prof. Soyinka got his Nobel prize, just like other great men out of Africa.

As for Chimamanda Adichie, she wrote all the books that was used in crafting 'Half of a Yellow Sun'.
If there's any inspiration for that book, then the book is 'Sunset at Dawn' by Chukwuemeka Ike.
Sade or whatever nonsense are lies
Why would a Yoruba woman write about Biafra. Like, where's the inspiration coming from?!

@The poster that mentioned me.
Achebe is a dishonest man.. that's is not a quality any writer should possess. Ingenuity is key.

I'm surprised Chimamanda hasn't been stripped off her titles and awards following the expose on sade where she lifted story from with help of Achebe.
Piracy has been a problem in Nigeria and Igbo people have always been the culprits (no offence)

Guys let's stop this, they are all Nigerians we should be proud of, I know many of us are hurt because of some things that make us dig each other faults out but with all these, we are only making matters worse for our dear country and pulling ourselves apart the more.

Let's allow every soul to breathe, please.
