Ejiné:

I think UNN should be named after Chinua Achebe; IMSU should be named after Pita Nwana; and University of Ibadan should be named after General Diya when he passes away.

Bros, any state university in Yoruba land could be named after General Diya not Unibadan which is federally owned. You should know that General Diya is an inherent symbol of the Yoruba.

prof...dazzle God with ur skills.....
write a best seller in heaven...
The world just grew dimmer......
A great light has left.

PROF.CHINUA ACHAEBE s,is a big blow to Nigeria,Africa and the world at large.As literary icon posterity ll remember his work=things fall apart the centre cannot hold,Arrow of god, No longer at ease,e.e.t.for good.one of the outstanding qualities of this icon was his love for Nigerian toward economic welfare and egalitarian society for all.That is why he rejected a call for National honour from Federal Govt on three consecutive times in different regimes.we need to emulate this gesture.in his word:i cant associate with Govt that does not have value for his citizen.in the country where people are dying of hunger, high level of unemployment, bribery and corruption on the increase,in security and security threat.e.t.c.the GOVT is happy giving national honour to political accolytes.prof. chinua achebe adiue!!!!!!!!!!!i hope the GOVT of our time would look into your heart beat and desire for this country and change for the better.

RIP sir and thank you for all your amazing work on this earth.

On behalf of our Chairperson, Board of Trustees and staff of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, we would like to offer our condolences to the family of Prof. Chinua Achebe, a great African writer and thinker, who passed away on 21 March 2013 at the age of 82.

Nelson Mandela referred to Prof. Achebe as a writer “in whose company the prison walls fell down”.

slimyem: What has this thread become?
Someone wants the premier university be named after Achebe or i'm not reading right?

It's a suggestion madam. There's no crime in suggesting. Btw, is Achebe not a premier Nigerian?
