It was really amazing listening to these great minds. Nigeria is really blessed to have had some of the finest brains in the world of Literature. This interview was full of grace and class. I do hope that we(Nigeria youth) will not turn this into a tribal war. The interesting thing is that these wonderful individuals have paid their dues , and they lived beyond ethnicity, and unnecessary display of ego, as prevalent today among many Nigerian youth. There was mutual respect, and none was trying in any way to be the smarter scholar. Comments, by these present youth,that will herald this post may be in sharp contrast with what the two literary giants showcased in the interview. Also in the interview was South African Lewis Nkosi, but the spotlight is on the two Nigerian writers. Here is the link:
