Sad news |

First of all... Maitama Sule is not dead!! Secondly, be careful what u post,and allow on FP especially when it has to do with death... Chinua is not a politician to say people are hiding his death from Nigerians, so if he were truly dead, the media will be awash with the news..and not some backyard online paper...

WOW!! If true, then a legend has passed! He left us with footprints cast in Rocks! Chinua Achebe came into my consciousness as a child in Primary 2 during the period they were showing Things Fall Apart on TV. I had no Idea how large he was until I traveled out of the country. I had a girlfriend that was half Russian, half Indian and resided in the USA. All she knew about Nigeria came from Chinua Achebe's lens through his books. Her Adoration for him gave me a new perspective of a man I never had much regard for. His books were used in classrooms across the globe to teach African Literature. Through this, my respect and regard for Achebe grew! But I came to grasp his true impact globally when I read Barack Obama's Dreams of My Father and found Obama corroborate the exact same story my then girlfriend had told me!! Then I concluded: A prophet truly is not honoured at home!! This man is Legendary!! His impact will outlive generations globally! If true!! Rest in peace, my hero, rest in peace! While things might appear to have fallen apart for those who love and care for you, I know that there is a country where you will be welcomed before the break of dawn and live for time without numbers!! Adieu!! 11 Likes |
