He told the story of Nigeria, or the story of the eastern people of Nigeria? There's a big difference.

But google said this

“One man took it upon himself to tell the world the story of Nigeria through the eyes of its own people.

I really love his work:

"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. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world"

Achebe is an icon. And he's from my villa too!

That's why I often try to bite somebody head off anytime I hear people try to compare Chimamanda Adichie with Achebe. It's just like comparing cubic zirconia to a 100% pure diamond.


O pari


Chimamanda......frustrated feminist smh

It's a well deserved honour indeed.
So, what is Nigeria doing to honour her own icons like him? Today, one can visit Shakespeare's place in UK because they preserve his legacy.

Boss you are wrong. I'm browsing from Winnipeg, Canada, and I found it. It's everywhere oga, bear in mind that Achebe is known across the world....we even used "things fall apart" at the University of Manitoba.
