Could somebody, everybody please stop this kind of childish tribal jingoism!
I've heard with my own ears, live and direct ,the Nobel Laureate saying such things and worse about Sani Abacha and not Chinua Achebe.Ceratinly not. He certainly did not and could not say such things about Chinua Achebe.
At no time did I read any such interview in the Nobel web pages nor did anyone ever report having read such a thing in a Swedish Academy Publication. To double-check you could directly enquire from Stefan Jonsson a Wole Soyinka fan and at least, one time specialist...
And by the way in a still sealed envelop I have a copy of a sound recording in CD copy format of the Nobel press conference of December 6, 2012 which I specially requested and collected from the Swedish Academy and which is still destined for Ikhide R. Ikheloa....the only thing still pending is his postal address....
