RE: Conspiracy of the West: Why Chinua Achebe Was Denied the Nobel Prize in Literature

in #africa7 years ago (edited)

Late Chinua achebe amongst others still remains my most preferred role model in terms of writing stories and i respect him a lot for his works having read most of them "things fall apart, arrow of God" and the likes. He is one of those with high level of creativity in depicting african culture and traditions.

He is referred to as the father of modern african literature but wasn't honored with the nobel prize in literature and I have always wondered why that is so, but now i think i have the answers thanks to you @gandhibaba.

For the fact that he didn't earn the nobel prize title, it doesn't make him any lesser and his name still very much command respect due to his work.

Looking forward to more of your post man @gandhibaba
