Reno Omokri’s controversial statement sparks Soyinka, Achebe debate

Achebe was a master storyteller and you know people love sweet stories no one dozes when a sweet storyteller is talking.Wole Soyinka is physiological and his books are full of hard sentences which only highly intellectual can digest,he has also creatively mastered great….

Chinua Achebe was a great writer but Professor Wole Soyinka was more innovative in his writing. My opinion sir.

I loved both Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka 's works. Nothing concern me with who collect the Nobel.

Some of you just love to expose your tribal bigotry in a more controversial way, why not say your view about Achebe and not subtle Soyinka’s achievements @NobelPrize too whom brain is given, common sense is expected.

Well the argument won't withdraw the Nobelprize from soyinka. And neither will it give it to Achebe. The owner of the award gave it to the person they felt deserve it better and there were criteria used. So no point arguing https://t.co/GtYeuPs4bl

You are the one bothered about tribal sentiments here. The joke is that the buffoon tagged “The Nobel Prize” saying whom they conferred an award did not deserve it. An award Wole Soyinka received when Reno was just 12 years of age. My dear sis, please just gedifok.

Nothing good has ever come out of @renoomokri, he is very decisive at every turn. Prof. Wole Soyinka is a Nobel Laureate and there's absolutely NOTHING you or your bigot-laden #Twitter army can do about it.

If anything, both Chinua Achebe and Soyinka should both have it.

🤣🤣🤣 most of these people dragging have not read any of Soyinka's or achebe's book. In their mind it is igbo vs yoruba….mumu ppl

The Nobel Laureate is largely political.

Albert Einstein was denied one for his most famous work.

Wole Soyinka is no way close to Achebe.

Achebe's literature is like basic mathematics while that of Soyinka is like further maths. Most students like me hated further maths for being too complex.
