UNN - Special Senate Session For Achebe by Napoleondegreat: 3:43pm On May 21, 2013 |
The University of Nigeria Nsukka is today holding a special senate in honour of Professor Chinua Achebe. The special senate is currently holding at the Enugu Campus of the University where a very large crowd of people gathered to pay their last respect to the great literary icon. The environment of the UNEC is currently fusing with various groups of people on their various uniform dressing even as the body of the Prof just arrives at exactly 3.45 pm. I am coming back with more update |

Napoleondegreat: I will upload pictures as soon as i see the space to take photo as there are too much crowd right now.Is it that you've not been able to upload the pix or you've not been able to snap. If the latter is the case, then you are not serious. |

van bonattel:so was mozart, alexander the great, biggie smallz, napoleon, da vinci and even Jesus Christ. While achebe was arguably the most prominent Nigerian novelist EVER, okigbo was a poet, novelist, sculptor, artist, music composer extraordinaire. All the works he did in his 37 years on earth were top notch. He combined all that at a time. Rumours keep flying bout his role in the war - his weapons designs and strategic plannings. No comparism |
