What a monumental loss to Ndi Igbo in particular and Nigeria @ large.
Truely the embodiment of Wisdom is gone like a candle in the wind,
the literary ICON is gone forever.

I understand you defnately have your reason for evry word but kindly have respect for the departed souls! Remember we will sooner or later join them!! Pls say no 'wrong' about d dead.


But Achebe not only didn't show no respect for the dead/Awo, he insulted Awo and his people. It's Ok to respect your ashebe, but don't ask other people to because he didn't earn that respect and especially for a mean spirited and vindictive bitter old man who refused to act like an elder or respect himself.

What goes around comes around.
