A true Legend.
A Pan African who paved way for other Africans.
The man who brought Igbo Culture and tradition to the world.
The flawless writer.
The greatest story teller.

I Read a lot of Heinemann's African writers series, and those guys would never forget Chinualumogu Albert Achebe in a hurry..especially Ngugi Wa Thiong'o
Your legacy lives on Sir.
"We do not bypass a man and enter into his compound" - Chinua Achebe
When shall we begin to immortalize our heroes?

BTW: I still maintain that "Things Fall Apart" is grossly Overrated.
"Arrow of God" is, and will continue to be his best work.
Even he tried to admit it in the preface to the revised second Edition.

Man of great words.

"Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself"

Chinua Achebe Quotes

“If you don't like someone's story, write your own.

“The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.


“While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary

“Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.


““The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.


“There is no story that is not true, [...] The world has no end, and what is good among one people is an abomination with others.

“To me, being an intellectual doesn't mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.


“We cannot trample upon the humanity of others without devaluing our own. The Igbo, always practical, put it concretely in their proverb Onye ji onye n'ani ji onwe ya: "He who will hold another down in the mud must stay in the mud to keep him down.


“A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.

we gather in nairaland not because there is no other forums where one can read news but because nairaland is a place to learn and catch fun.....

I agree with you but Things Fall Apart is not in anyway overrated, let alone being 'grossly' overrated.
As at the time when Things Fall Apart was published, nothing of such has ever come out of Africa, hence, the encomium it enjoys till tomorrow. Arrow of God itself is a masterpiece, but been Achebe's favourite doesn't translate to being his best work. Though different strokes for different folks.

If Things Fall Apart was published 5 years ago, it would still rank in the top ten best literary works from Africa.

If it were a thread about crime, politics and Tonto it would have reached 4 pages. But because it is celebrating a Literary giant and has more to do about discussing his works many shy away from it.

I named my son after him because of the deep respect I have for him.

I have read his best seller "things fall apart" uncountable times. That book is a masterpiece.
