Two of Nigeria's best writers; Wole Soyinka and Chimamanda Adichie were part of the panel of speakers at the Felabration 2019 Symposium.
The Symposium which is tagged; 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense' reflects Fela's popular song back in the days that tackles teachings that have been passed down from our predecessors in the areas of parenting, money management, love of foreign life, food and hair which have tremendously contributed to the deep state of despair in the country.
Other members of the panel were Ugandan singer and politician, Bobi Wine and British rapper, Akala.
Felabration is an annual event to commemorate Nigeria's musical legend and activist, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and also highlight the nation's troubling issues and the way forward.

Man Soyinka is , but Chimanda to be  the best and compared to the pa is  truly over the mark. And you  failed to  take other notable female pen pushers of equal intellectual prowess as Chi. She is indeed one of the best ,modern writers but not yet in the class of Soyinka and his  class.
