Debatable. Who is the most renowned Nigerian outside our shores? He is definitely among top 5.

Soyinka, Fela, Achebe...

alomoh:

Exactly, Chinua Achebe became in his final days A hero of the Ibos, He could have earned for himself more honor as a Nigerian Hero, But he messed up the singular opportunity by his reminiscence of the long fratricidal warfare which has divided Nigerians. An history for which Ibos believed Yorubas are their enemies without proper counsel and historical facts. They roam around in Yoruba states doing business freely and Achebe dug out a lie in his “There was a Country” to confuse the Younger African and caused hatred before his demise
Achebe is really the Hero of the Tribal Ibos


And who told u he wanted to be a Nigerian Hero? How many times did he reject your National Honors? He is our Hero and World Hero at large. Nigerian hero my foot.

Point of correction, Igbos don't see yorubas as their enemy, we see them as slave t0 the Northerners. Cowards!! #thatsAll.

Paschal007: *Things Fall Apart* A dark day in the land of the rising Sun. Rip Prof Chinua Achebe.

The man even put it in the title for the dullards.

There was a country: a personal history of Biafra.

But the goats do not know what a memoir is...personal recollection. It is not a history book, and not meant to be a history book. It is a personal recollection that should be countered by other personal recollections. That is how they do it in obodo oyibo.

Re: Prof Chinua Achebe Is Dead! by Ejine(m): 1:03pm On Mar 22, 2013
I think UNN should now be renamed "Chinua Achebe University".
He is the befitting person to name it after; not Major Ojukwu, a soldier.

That's how things should be done.

My 2 cents.

A lie is a lie, whether archived in the national library of written as a memoir.
