I am really surprised, all the good people are dying, Gani, Awolowo Azikiwe, Balewa, whereas Obasanjo , Atiku, amaechi saraki, IBB etc are all moving about as free man

He is the greatest writer in Africa, just that he is not yoruba or Igbo.

He is pure Igbo bro, from rivers state. He's blood is Igbo and his name is a clear indication that he is Igbo

when I saw the caption, I was like I sabi this man now, but couldn't figure out where or when, reading through, I saw the CONCUBINE, then my memory recall sharperly sharperly, even though I can't remember a content from the novel, I can still recollect loving it so much when I read it. Will consult my library to go through that work of his again.
Thanks for having a pact in my life sir.
rest on papa/baba/ette.

The concubine one of his most populous novels written, I first saw the novel when my mum graduated from ABU Zaria in 1992, when I was in primary school she read it in school as part of her course. I tried to read it that time but I didn't comprehend what I was reading, RIP pa elechi, I am just seeing ur pix for the first time.

And the silly Dakuku had to take a swipe at Rivers state government in his supposed statement. These APC people are so full of shiitt. I swear.



RIP to the great literary giant. He'll be sorely missed. Can't forget "The concubine" which I read in secondary school. Awesome writer.
