How many prizes Achebe won.just 30 prizes when he died compared to wole Soyinka whò Won over 150 different prizes.He was a disciple of wole Soyinka.
The blogger threw analysis on Death and king's horseman that won him Nobel:
That book was fetish first performed and duro ladipo toured the whole of America performing with magical powers held the ppl on stampede live fire spitted from his mouth.They called his group Duro ladipo and the musical tragedy and narrative had it that the man who gave duro ladipo that fetish powers specified the day he must return to Naija but duro couldn't make on dat day and assumed duro had stolen the borrowed fetish powers from him.So,he went to shrine invoked incantation on him and they broyback his lifeless body down to Nigeria.I think there was fetish powers behind that and soyinka couldn't sleep until he writes his wonderful version.
If you hear Soyinka 's account u will be so surprised the way he described a devilish woman that was cleaning room every morning disturbing Soyinka 's peace of writing in the Cambridge room .Every morning the woman knocks on the door to clean the room and one morning Soyinka faced her bluntly not to come to his room again and that he can clean his room by himself.The evil lady took the matter to Cambridge official and reported that wole barred her from room cleaning.Although they settled the matter Soyinka never forgave that woman for disturbing his piece at a time he was writing death and king's horseman that later won him a Nobel.Do you know what soyinka told the woman?"You racist cow"he said stop disturbing my peace and sent her away.
Little wonder it became his most widely read books published in 1975 a year me another Nobel in the making I was born
The death and king's horseman was first written by duro ladipo and u have to find duro ladipo 's version which I believe might not have been well chiseled to Soyinka 's version.The book singlehandedly won Soyinka the nobel laureate not bachae Euripides published after he was released from Maiduguri prison in the aftermath of civil war and he travelled to southern France hibernated himself in the friend's farm where he wrote the bachae and commissioned in the royal theatre of Great Britain.

I was part of a convocation play performance of this piece. Late Laide Adéwálé was Elesin Oba and Tunji Ojeyemi was Olohun Iyo. I played Joseph, Picking's house boy. It was an unforgettable experience.
He formed pyrates confraternity and national association of seadogs in 1952 with that writers club he launched the biggest writing and literary revolution in the history of mankind in the life time of a single person.Infact he produced five nobels who were also his disciples.derek Walcott won a nobel in 1991 for his book Omeros through him soyinka influence spread writing revolution in British carribean and Obama Barack had great confidence in himself the moment he heard that another soyinka disciple Tony Morrison the first black female person to win a Nobel too won a nobel.When Obama became president he gave Tony Morrison presidential awards for winning Nobel for her book Beloved.He knew Morrison was her main influence that was he gave her award and you know Obama won Nobel peace prize too.All these are soyinka's legatees.He single handedly produced five nobels and millions of writers and musicians and actors are soyinka's disciples.Do you know soyinka produced Fela his cousin as musician and mentored him
You have to compare Winston Churchill,Bernard Shaw,Bertrand Russell etcetera etcetera they re not better than soyinka and these are best guys to win a Nobel.If Soyinka is better than these global colossuses how much worse for a dilletante to condescend Soyinka to the level of his disciples
One commenter say:
Seven novels in all no longer at ease anthills of the savanna arrow of God etcetera how many copies have they sold beside things fall apart.
Can't you see other novels did not do well in the market
A fellow ibo man who is the greatest ibo literary critique in eastern region said it should I tell u more
Am sure Yu have not heard that before.if u want more info I will give you.see Achebe stole things fall apart and renamed it things fall apart from one ibo village.So how do you compare thief to a genius.
Abba mustapha brown replied commenter who was the blogger:
Fred William ahhh bros you are not fair with this writer o. He balanced his piece. Maybe we'll need to read it again. Thanks 👍
Kongi is the most versatile musician in the history of Nigeria.If you marry taxi driver a song that was popularised by Bobby Benson the first musician in the nation history was composed by Soyinka he had so many albums later dropped music for Fela and noticed we don't have literature much at independence and decided to form mbari writers club to discover and promote young artists like Achebe,flora nwapa, J.p.clark,Mabel segun etc
The blogger was so angry with the comparison and somebody replied:
Fred William stop taking thinks personal like you're having issues with the poster, try get the context before you battle with your keyboard brr. Take a chill pill and re-read the post maybe then you can understand the message. Caio."
Anthony Eze ike replied the blogger to dispute soyinka's as most widely read author in Africa:
Fred William Most widely read in your dreams, guess you never heard in your lifetime, a writer called Ngugi wa thiongo...
Imperialists will never validate him because he will never Kow-Tow to their warped narratives about Africa..
Only writers who Kneel in obedience to imperial narratives get the chance to bow before them in Oslo before their King ..
Africa does not validation from racists
The Nobel Academy is @ r@cist entity...
Give Kongi his flowers but some African writers still tower above him"
Blogger reply:
Anthony Eze Ukeje Kenya man ngụgi how much him sell him no even sell reach Achebe things fall apart.All these African countries with d exception of white south Africa no get brain like dat na Nigeria dey give all of them brain.U need info .for what u think the first society in Africa to have fastest access to western civilization materials was yorubaland.8 years after Alexander Graham bell invented telephone,it entered Yorubaland fast.Yorubaland used television before France and it became the third region or country in the whole world after UK and America and first in Africa to use television WNTV was born in 1958 in Ibadan . immediately awolowo saw it in UK he brought it down to yorubaland.Later Obasanjo hijacked it and made it NTA and spread it all over the country and coloured TV came in 1976 first in old plateau state .See awolowo became the father of African media, including mordern radio pioneered mass media in partnership with WOLE SOYINKA because the first featured film in the history of Nigeria was kongi harvest 1970 shot in 6 countries and the producer of that film first film producer in black Africa was late Francis oladele.WNTV later inspired movie and film industry becos without transmitters and cinematographers and script writing used in television production , theatre and films production cannot work and film industry later influenced telecommunication.The emergence of television did two things.one it ballooned primary school enrollment or education in general and speeded independence of countries in the 1960s though awolowo started free education in 1955 millions of Ibos enjoyed it too.u will be surprised I say so.We went to Kenya to inspire them.Hence Kenyans like Ngụgi wa thiongo, beautiful ones not yet etc and Camara laye pick inspiration from Nigeria.okay.Even Mandela the first black lawyer in south Africa opened chamber in 1947 came to school in Nigeria because the oldest professional body in the whole of Africa Nigerian bar association NBA is in yorubaland and we have d best set of lawyer in Africa.Robert Mugabe schooled here too and at university of Ibadan in the early period of foundation 75 percent of their lecturers were white .I know u don't know that and that was Achebe and soyinka had the best of education in Africa.So yorubaland is the provider of western ideas to Africa and even apartheid in south Africa and release of Mandela from prison was singlehandedly done by WOLE SOYINKA.Go and read his book Mandela Earth.There is no writer that I know in world history whose books are so powerful to the extent the books removed dictators from power.Only Soyinka achieved that.Which book Achebe have so much powerful to remove evil dictators from power.For instance in the 70s Idi Amin of Uganda I was surprised a female professor from Uganda came to a conference in Abuja and was singing the praise of soyinka.He said soyinka book A Play of giant immortalized protest movement in Uganda and successfully removed cannibalist idị Amin from power.Mention one writer.just one that u know.His books have fetish powers the most esoteric black writer .in Nigeria Soyinka was so dangerous that Sani abacha declared him wanted and to avoid execution like the rest of nadeco soyinka fled to America and founded short wave clandestine Radio kudirat.He used it to fight abacha and the west banned abacha from traveling overseas for medical treatment.Had it been there was no ban he could still be alive bcos obj and Babangida are still much alive and Babangida still travel oversees for medical treatment.That ban killed abacha and not that he died on top of prostitutes from Singapore or India .So soyinka was responsible for that death too.He was responsible for the success of antiabacha movement of which tinubu is another disciple of soyinka.Soyinka had influenced indirectly the success of tinubu even though soyinka told tinubu and Atiku not to contest that they re old but they refused.atiku went to soyinka office in Ikeja and he told him not to contest he refused.
Anthony enthused Soyinka was kowtowing western powers unlike Achebe who opposed western books like Joseph Conrad 's heart of darkness an imperialist novel and the blogger replied :
Anthony Eze Ukeje soyinka does kowtow he was not writing for the west he was writing in Yoruba tradition.Have u read his book Death and the king's horseman it was story in Yoruba land that really happened when a king dies they burry many Slaves with the king to help the king in d afterlife .what is kowtow u don't even know anything spewing gibberish from the rant of ant .That Nobel prize dey pain u na so e go dey hunt forever all ibo jealousy.i don't blame Yu I blame soyinka for producing Achebe d way Yoruba dey promote u ppl instead of promoting their .I called soyinka PA Tunde awosanmi to talk to baba soyinka not to promote ibi again for d rest of his life promote his Yoruba more.So I don't blame u for egregious rantings.
Nadine Gordimer Nobel prize winner in 1990 or so said Soyinka is indispensable in Africa and had no comparison whatsoever wherever justice is being fought for.

Anthony Eze Ukeje you are a fool so Oslo Norway is where he was awarded Nobel prize u don't know anything u re original fool .Was it not in Stockholm Sweden that you have nobel institute or are u saying is In norway.u don't have sense
Infact most original writer was Soyinka he was writing in Ogun verses and he was not christian like Achebe Ogun worshiper.fetish man .atheist .na Achebe dey kowtow.soyinka attacked Christianity and Islam he said religion like corruption is killing us
Anthony Eze Ukeje you are a fool so Oslo Norway is where he was awarded Nobel prize u don't know anything u re original fool .Was it not in Stockholm Sweden that you have nobel institute or are u saying is In norway.u don't have sense"
The comment below was made by the blogger which was disputed by Anthony that was d most widely author though he compared volumes.Hear blogger:
Wole soyinka' s books 62 books including translarions as the most widely read books from Africa by the entire volumes are in every country of the world.Soyinka the most traveled poet in the history of the world was compelled wherever he go to deliver speeches to make his books available in their country.Soyinka has visited every country of the world except Laos.His book Ake Years of childhood is the most translated autobiography in the history of black people worldwide translated into Flanders with millions of copies sold like the death and king's horseman that won the Nobel prize published in 1975.The best black man to handle pen vocabulary plenty.we have five thousand languages in the whole world and soyinka books is in every country of the world.So how much is 61 languages to 5000 in 220 countries where Soyinka is available.students in d varsities and Colleges are using for citations and research.the most widely known author from Africa is wole Soyinka not Achebe.
Just 25 books like Soyinka 's student Professor Henry Louis gates jnr the first African American to get a fellowship at Yale university with his current book making 25 books.just 25 upon all the mouth.five novels compared to three novels by Soyinka the author of 56books his latest book novel chronicles from the land of the happiest people on earth was the best political novel in African history
Not 25books I made mistakes everything is 11 not 25books including seven novels.that was a mistake on my part to believe d Ibos who are liars in their lives . He even included edited volumes by Achebe
Soyinka books found every country of d world Achebe's only 61 languages whereas Soyinka is in every 220 countries of d world
Soyinka 's books are the most widely read books by volume in the whole Achebe's no reach am
We end this debate with the fact no matter what ibo man achieved Yorubaland educated all of them.Read this peace admitted and written and posted by Igbo writer or chronicler and I rephrased it here.
The publishing house Heinemann located in yorubaland was responsible for the production of these Igbo writers and other Afrikaans because editor of African writers series was Chinua Achebe who published his book as the first book to be reviewed by African writers series had an edge over.other books later promoted other African writers like okigbo,Nwapa,Ngụgi n wa thiongo etcetera.
But one fact is clear the first push Achebe was under WOLE SOYINKA 's Nmbari writers club that promoted Chinua Achebe Mabel segun duro ladipo prof Clark etc.
A Nobel laureate
So 62books including translations nobody comes close excerpt Prof femi osofisan at 200books,with plays,prose, novels,like morondotun.pastor Sunday adelaja at 400books and pastor oyakhilome at 400books,prof.ango Abdullahi at 150 books and Our daily manna publisher pastor Chris at 200books
And my humble self with 800mostly unpublished books and author of 10,000essays.I will be d first Nigerian to break Ron Hubbard world record of the highest number of books ever written by man 1,074books in next 6months .Na we Yoruba dey write past and na we Every body dey copy including ibo garagara.I need book sponsor.just for one.I have potential ten times Guinness book of world records before Nobel acquisition.
Prof .ango Abdullahi best writer in the north and the highest number of books written by northerner.Make d Igbos dey brag despite their rising rate of book publishing in d east Yoruba still maintain their lead.na their inferiority complex make them dey write that they re better than Yorubas
I have potential ten times Guinness book of world records before Nobel acquisition.shallom.
