What do you think of these individuals.

Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe?

Both of them are the greatest person to ever make African dream come true in Nigeria. Both are great poets and novelists. They both have the power to connect readers or audience, with their simple style of vision.
I just can't help it when looking at how inspiring these two great men have granted young folks like me.

You're right about both individuals. They've both done a lot for African literature and they deserve every bit of international recognition they're getting.

I'm a big fan of Chinua Achebe's books and he's such an intelligent writer. It's still a mystery to me that Chinua Achebe has not won the Nobel prize for Literature. I've lost all respect for the Nobel prize because there's too much politics involved and some of the people who deserve it don't actually get it.
