Ngugi tops favorites for Nobel Literaure Prize 2107

Kenyan novelist, Ngugi Wa Thiongo looks good to win the 2017 Nobel prize for literature tomorrow! Speculations are rife, and bookmakers are laying the bets between Ngugi or Margaret Atwood, or a shared prize between both! It may just be the fever, but the chatter is loud...

Aluko, I'm not writing for the Nobel Prize. I'm waiting for the Zik/Senghor Prize to be announced, and then, I might be motivated...

Iguade, do you know what the Nobel prize in literature entails? Have you ever read a book in your life? Do you know the meaning of the word "speculate"? Have you ever met Isiguro or Ngugi? Do people call you up on the eve of the Nobel Prize to ask you expert questions about African literature? Iguade, you're a laughing stock whenever you interject on these issues that you know nothing about, because it makes you look ridiculous and stupid. Don't you get it? You are really, really an ignorant wannabe, and not much you do will change who you are, boy, and you are measuring a short length and getting stumped at all your wickets with me. Get a life!

Maurice Wilson Iguade is a first class moron, all of the times. His lacking in education is so manifest everything he opens his filthy mouth with his withered fingers. What is wrong with Obi Nwakanma predicting who might win the Nobel Prize for literature this year? This bum, Maurice Wilson Iguade, refers to Ngugi Wa Thiongo as "some poetry writer (novelist) from Kenyan", which means he is so uneducated that he knows not who Wa thiongo is, yet he mixes with us here?
Tufiakwa!

Question: Iguade, do you know what the Nobel prize in literature entails?
Answer: Yes! That’s is a simple question.
Have you ever read a book in your life?
No, But I have read your rubbish! Hehehehe!
Do you know the meaning of the word "speculate"?
Yes! Making an “ass” of you!
Have you ever met Isiguro or Ngugi?
No! Just like I have not meet you! Any not sure of the significance of that, and your meeting persons or not, having no bearings on what I know on don’t know.
Question: Do people call you up on the eve of the Nobel Prize to ask you expert questions about African literature?
No, and nobody called you either .
Question: Iguade, you're a laughing stock whenever you interject on these issues that you know nothing about, because it makes you look ridiculous and stupid.
Answer: Obi, Rastafarian Dude, you are a laughing stock to think that one needs permission to participate in a PUBLIC forum, like I need permission to take a shit at a public restroom. You must think I have any regards for a person that graduated from a third world University.
Question: Don't you get it?
Answer: Get what? What is there to get?
Question: You are really, really an ignorant wannabe, and not much you do will change who you are, boy, and you are measuring a short length and getting stumped at all your wickets with me.
Response: don’t understand the gobbledegook you just spewed! Only in your world would someone wants to be ignorant. This is how stupid you are.
Get a life! Obi Nwakanma
Response: yes indeed Get a life, because yours is empty, thus your lies to fill it up.
I have a beautiful life that is why I do not SPECULATE on an event that was about to happen in days. Lord have mercy!
Iguade
