Obi Nwakanma:
You have come again.....why are you making it impossible for Ngugi to win with your second-guessing? Why are you trying to jinx him? Why dont you just wait?
[Here are the ]Ladbrokes Favorites Who Actually Have a Chance
- Ngugi Wa Thiong'o (Kenyan novelist, playwright, short story writer, and essayist; 4/1 odds)
- Margaret Atwood (Canadian novelist, essayist, activist, and all-around baller; 6/1 odds)
- Javier Marias (Spanish novelist, short story writer, essayist, and translator; 10/1 odds)
- Yan Lianke (Chinese novelist and short story writer; 14/1 odds)
- Ko Un (South Korean poet; 16/1 odds)
- Jon Fosse (Norwegian novelist and playwright; 18/1 odds)
- Ismail Kadare (Albanian novelist and poet; 20/1 odds)
- António Lobo Antunes (Portugese novelist and doctor; 20/1 odds)
- Laszlo Krasznahorkai (Hungarian novelist, screenwriter, and prophet; 20/1 odds)
- Obi Nwakanma (Nigeria/Biafra, fiction writer, essayist, Biafra booster, 1000/1 odds)
I added the last one (Aluko-brokes) for emphasis.
And there you have it.

Having a belly-laugh!

--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...
