He did built an edifice if you reflect on how many years ago he erected this building, what a great man, one of my mentors, continue to rest in peace sir

ANSMEDIA:

Yeah right.. Achebe airport, Umueri.

Is this ogidi or awka

Can we also see soyinka's House?

I'd love to see how his home and its surrounding neighbourhood looks like

Can any RoNu oblige me?

NOTE: I he cried out about fulani herdsmen attacking his farm and stuff at his backyard that year . . . So it's perfectly okay to show us the forests and bushes around his home too. It won't surprise us one bit

kettykin:
Is this ogidi or awka

Ogidi not Awka, Awka don't have much of multistorey buildings

I was busy searching for brown roof here, but i was disappointed that I couldn't locate any brown roof here. Ala igbo Amaka true true

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I did not see 🟤brown🟤 roof. I'm seeing mansions, duplex and high rise building

Please, help us with Soyinka's residence and home town

If this is ogidi , then ogidi is almost at par with some state capitals.

I am really fascinated with this level of development of ogidi without much noise ...

Ogidi really has people

Bitter Obituarists celebrating a man that struggled all his live to achieve what Wole Soyinka achieved yet he couldn't

I swear the nimbo will run.

Does he think the name "father of modern African literature" is a joke.

Tag me if he agrees to this challenge.

I'm ready

A massive spillover of Onitsha expansion has swallowed Ogidi. Many towns are now part of the great Onitsha megacity
Meanwhile Obi of Onitsha is also Achebe, can anybody show us any Achebe from Benin?

Honour the challenge.

Soyinka vs Achebe. A good comparison thread for it.

You think it's by writing to sweet talk to the colonialist? Or by betraying the agreement to sabotage mere award from the oppressors and taking the award?

Nah!. Literature is heart. You write blunt, you maintain integrity!!

Honestly.

I am Yorba boy but irrespective of the source of wealth!....IGBOs are richer than us.

This is a Town oooo....An average town in Yoruba land will look so rusty,laid back and deserted

The last time I went to ILE IFE,I was very ashamed!....alot of dilapidated building beside the roads!

Shut up
You are ignorant.
Building materials consist of all you mentioned.
Companies distribute to retailers.
Manufacturing does not involve selling to consumers but retailers
Retailers are those in that market.

Once again keep shut
