CHINUA ACHEBE VS WOLE SOYINKA | WHO IS THE GREATEST?

[@EmmanuelEmmanuel-ic4db]

We're not here for cultism.

[@andrewakinloye8194]

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”

One can't compare achebe and wole.
Achebe is far greater than wole

[@LeviFelix-vq6nl]

There is no contest. Please go and find out how many languages the novel Things Fall Apart is translated to.
All the works of Professor Gbajue can not match that single book.
