This was exactly how Nigerian accents sounded until we all started wanting to sound like the British and Americans. This was Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka in 1964

“I don’t object to critics at all, what I do object to is people preaching from a place of ignorance. Even when they’re praising you, you find it’s not for the right reasons.” - Chinua Achebe in a 1964 interview with Wole Soyinka and South African author Lewis Nkosi

This was a very confusing video I recognised immediately that this was a HDB in Singapore But the kids started talking like they were from the hood in Detroit And then the guy brought them Koolaid like he was some kind of dealer And then the kids started exchanging accents with the dealer and suddenly they sounded Singaporean and the dealer sounded like he was someone pushing white on the streets Icing in the cake was the kids started singing in Melayu at the end What’s going on???? 😭

Whatever happened to this Nigerian accent? Back then, everyone had it I’ve seen Sir Ahmedu Bello talk like this I’ve seen Ojukwu talk like this I’ve seen even Wole Soyinka talk like this It seemed like every educated Nigerian had one accent then unlike what we have now

I was honoured to unveil a grand statue of our own Professor Chinua Achebe at Ugwu-Nwasike Roundabout, Ogidi, in Idemili North LGA. Surrounded by dignitaries, literary scholars, and Ndi Anambra, this moment was more than the unveiling of a monument. It was a declaration. Achebe did not just write books. He gave the black race a voice, redefined African literature, and told our story to the world with courage, clarity and intellectual integrity. “Things Fall Apart” did more than sell millions of copies — it restored the dignity of a people. This statue is the latest in our commitment to ensure that his legacy never fades. In 2023 we renamed our International Airport after him — the ‘Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport’. Today, we have given him a permanent place in the heart of his hometown, Ogidi. To our youths: let Achebe’s life inspire you. A life of scholarship, principled leadership, truth, and service to your people and humanity. I thank Prof. Ike Achebe and the entire Achebe family for joining us and for the grace to celebrate this icon together. Though he left us in 2013, his spirit still guides our intellectual and cultural journey as a people. Ndi Anambra, we do not forget our own. Chinua Achebe lives on!

Wole Soyinka released from Military detention - October 1969. During the civil war in Nigeria, Soyinka appealed in an article for cease-fire. For this he was arrested in 1967, accused of conspiring with the Biafra rebels, and was held as a political prisoner for 22 months.

See what Americans know about us. How on earth would a Daddy GO and Professor Wole Soyinka pretend this is not us, Allowing one man make the world see us as criminals ? Did you see how surprised the interviewer was ? He even shouted "Oh Lord"

Colonialism was remote-controlled dictatorship. Governors answered to London and Paris, not to the people. They built no democracy, taught no accountability, suppressed African politics, then claimed we “weren’t ready.” That wasn't truth, it was justification. 🗣️ CHINUA ACHEBE👌🏿

“the person that gave me papers to start theatre was Wole Soyinka, he told us then that anyone of us that perform very well will be admitted to the university, there was no much people that were doing theatre in most of the universities. it was the papers he wrote for the woman that brought me up, she asked how i knew Wole Soyinka and i told her they are from our rehearsal. ours is like this because, we do traveling theatre, some people are puppet, we have different type of theatre. there’s no where in Nigeria that i’ve not been to, been to Ghana and other African countries too…” - Legendary actress, Lanre Hassan, Iya Awero says at the premiere of Segilola.

I wonder the extent of the connection between Wole Soyinka and Tinubu. Soyinka started cursing GEJ and his wife after less than a year in power. 3 years later, his latest interview is to curse Peter Obi who isn't the president. WS is not wise at all. Very dishonest man.
