UmmuT watch it on youtube. Its fascinating. You can then Judge if they really need to apologise.

Wole Soyinka is fake (to me). I wouldn't even enjoy his book.
Actually he is one person that i am happy not liking  ::)
I think he's just too arrogant,thinking that his literal abilities make him a demi-god.

Hmm... I thought you forgot. Although as you might have noticed I read some Grisham's after we've "spoken". But they are still welcome.

And I am still in BUK--in my final year, inshaAllah. I'll PM you my number right away.

@ggnk, im in lagos my brother, am i 2 far away? at least ba ingila nake ba.

You are of course in Lagos. That word--jare--reminds me of my question to my Yoruba friends aboard Nairaland. They almost always write it, and I later asked them of its meaning. There were times I used it afterwards.

@ muhsin they say when u r in rome..........., u just pick these things without knowing. ll send other novels then as my grishams r not hia, my bros farouk ll cal u on mon IA, where r u new or old campus? let me go n get em now b4 i forget

You don't have to make it any clear (by saying to you, in particular), GGNK; Soyinaka is, to many, even among literary students, no more than fake. He doesn't even deserve the Nobel Prize he's awarded. Everyone knows Chinua Achebe, the realistic author of the Things Fall Apart, deserves the accolade more than him; and any African who penned any text then, thats 1986.

That was a long argument, thus let me leave it for now.

[gogannaka]

Thanks Muhsin.
Today i went to buy a book 'the biography of Bukhari' and i saw a book by Soyinka. I just remembered this discussion.
I opened the book and to my surprise it didn't have any words....lol
Turancin ya kare ya koma drawing hahahaha.

Now i am about to start reading the biography of Bukhari.
I learnt that reading Good people's (sometimes even the bad people) biographies makes u want to be a good person too.
A person that will change the world.

...behave like Romans do. Thats true.

I'm at New Site. We're gonna meet, inshaAllah. Thanks so much.
