Igbo Group Declares 7-day-Mourning For Achebe by fatdon1(m): 5:44pm On Mar 23, 2013 |
The Igbo Youth Movement has declared seven days of mourning beginning from Friday for the late international novelist, Prof. Chinua Achebe, who died on Thursday. In a statement issued on Friday, the President of IYM, Mr. Elliot Uko, said the movement was still in shock after learning of the death of Achebe. “We wail and mourn and wish it was not true. Achebe presented traditional African society to the rest of the world 55 years ago. “He was the man who gave the world an insight into the orderliness of pre-colonial Africa. His ideas and message translated to over 100 languages. “Lately, he stood up for the truth in an inspiring display of courage and love for his people and respect for history. “He was not afraid of name calling or the expected abuse. He chose the truth in order to inspire all generations. A great Iroko has fallen, IYM hereby declares seven days of mourning for the man of his people,” he said. www.punchng.com/news/igbo-group-declares-7-day-mourning/ 4 Likes |

Achebe was inherently African, saw himself as African before anythinG else. He helped give the black man dignity through his expression of our ideals to the world, it was not about Igbo, he's like Fela, he spoke fearless, home or abroad...and through his acts like rejection of national awards and comments even about the white man he showed he is not one who celebrates mediocrity. And he did all he did in all humility. One day, when Afrika is truly free and united, he would be one of the gods of art. He lives on. 2 Likes |
