rose002: Omg! cry RIP prof.by the way who is dis Prof Achebe sef dnt knw him o undecided
He was our oga at the top in the literary arts. That generation is almost gone.

If this is true, let us not mourn. Rather, let us celebrate the life of a man who used his craft to touch lives. Until the Lord comes, death remains inevitable for every man.

It was a life well spent, you will always be remembered,just like Shakeshear. You told the African story so well. Adieu Baba,i hope that our nation will produce more like you. I also pray that God will give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Aringarosa:

Is this post really from Iya olode Desola?

Hmmm...this 2013 is gonna be a mervelous year. The Igbos should lean from this lady, never knew something good could come from her as what concerns Igbo, talk less of Achebe.

Achebe's death is not just an Igbo concern. The black race minus Nairaland tribal warriors lost a gem. The literary and academic world lost a gem. The civil society lost a gem. He belong to the rare group of people on planet earth that you cannot buy with money.

Nonsense as if hiding posts will stop the whole world for remembering him for being a great tribalist.

You can hide this one too and ban me.


Bullshiit.
Re: Prof Chinua Achebe Is Dead! by BlueMurder(m): 11:54am On Mar 22, 2013
Achebe stirred needless controversies with some of his last works/statements, but i, a northerner, can never get tired of reading his masterpieces like Things Fall Apart, No Longer At Ease, Anthills of The Savannah & A Man of The People.

Adieu, Master of Proverbs.

Agreed !

But if you know her antecedent concerning Igbo matters on nairaland, then you 'll have to agree with me.
