Chinua Achebe To Be Buried At Night by mukina2: 9:42am On May 15, 2013 |
Mausoleum, the final resting place of the late literary giant, Prof Chinua Achebe is at its completion stage in his compound, Ogidi in Idemili North council area of Anambra State even as the community says it is in high spirit to receive its son and visitors including three serving presidents of various countries on 23 May. Daily Sun gathered that the proposed Achebe mausoleum, which is under construction attached few metres away from his personal duplex building would serve as the tomb of the late literary giant as well serve as the (Obi) chamber for the fallen hero. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/achebe-to-be-buried-at-night/ 4 Likes |

Is this not supposed to be in literature or culture section? There is nothing political about night burial. 2 Likes |

Mukina 2: He said the late Achebe would be buried in the night in line with the culture of the people of Ogidi community, saying, “as a titled man, he will be buried towards evening in line with our culture and tradition. His body shall lie in state in the yam ban (Oba) where the daughters of the clan (Umuokpu) shall pay him their last respects before he would be buried in the night.”Is he a farmer for him to be lied in state in the yam ban (Oba)?. Omenana ndi dikwara ndi RIP Ikenga Ogidi. 1 Like |
