As a graduate of African literature, i had the privilege of studying both men's works....while they're both great, Achebe is just something else. Achebe is a legend...!

In the UK where there are worldwide bestselling authors and Nobel winners, I am not aware of any comparisons or arguments as to who is best amongst them. They are all celebrated. In Nigeria we waste so much time on what divides us than what unites us. This Achebe/Soyinka thing has been going on for years and some people are hell bent on dragging Soyinka down especially since 2023 elections. Let them carry on.

No matter your assessments and comments about these two great Nigeria writers, the fact remains, one used JSS 3 level English for his moonlight novels, while the other is still using Post Graduate English language for his playwright. You ought to know that, moonlight stories is different to playwright. By the way, why can’t you people let the sleep dog lying? Look here, when God crowned Lion in the jungle, who among you have audacity to question God? God has crowned the Lion, those that are still grumbling and murmuring can jump into lagoon on the third mainland bridge in Lagos. Make sure you jump into the sea when there is no passers by. Finally, go and read Achebe’s “There was a Country”

Achebe books are reader friendly but WS works are made strictly for intellectual. You can't read and comprehend the man's work easily. Intact if you want to buy a book by WS please buy a dictionary too.

I think that Soyinka's Nobel prize was awarded as an affirmative action gesture. Who on earth will like to be called a racist? His body of work does not merit that prize at all. This has always been my position.

You write as if you dont know how Nobel prize is awarded? But it is apparent that you know. But you make it look like a panel just sits and gives the award. That is where affirmative action can come in. Why write as if you dont know what literature is? Achebe is a great prose writer, Soyinka is a playwright, a poet and a prose writer too. That is total literature. There are people who have won Nobel prize in literature only by their prolific prose writing. And given the success of Achebe's prose works, he deserved the Nobel prize too. But to say Wole Soyinkas body of works does not deserve the award of Nobel prize is ridiculous. The Nobel prize is not just about how popular your work is among the street readers, but also about how the literary world views the content and appreciates it. Achebes works appeal to the common readers. The language of Soyinkas works are more profound. You mean the literary giants all over the world who voted for Soyinka did not know what literary works are all about? We are not talking about Nobel prize for peace.

@@limatglobaltemp7181 You have to consider the people who sit on the panel that decides who wins the prize. Do you think that these people would ever live with themselves without lowering the bar a little to accommodate some Africans? I think so and many other people think so too. I will try to find a video of an African gentleman who said as much9 I cannot promise that I can find it that easily but I am going to try). I just don't see that his body of work deserved such honour and that is my argument.
