all4naija: Let's stop looking at what Achebe did or didn't do and concentrate on his achievements as a prolific writer, with lots of works to recommend for our schools. Nobody lives for eternity and for that, we should strive to make sure we use the little time available to us to contribute good to our society.

Recommend lies like "there was a country " to Nigerian schools ? Haba bros biko

0lumide: Exactly what has Achebe done to help development in Africa? What has he done?

Name one thing he has done instead of accusing people of being tribal.

Will the English people call Shakespeare a hero?

Sydney Sheldon? You people are dumb nut jobs
Are you okay?
Do you know that the white men thought africans were devoid of decency,reasoning and humanity,until achebe challenged them?.
Do you know that the reason why he never won a nobel prize atleast once, was because he had the effontery to call joseph conrad,the author of heart of darkness(A hero of white supremacists) a racist?
Achebe has long transcended the mortal realm of tribal,and nationalistic sentiments.
He is a pan-african hero.
The only person worthy to be compared to him in the whole of Africa is Nelson mandela.

The world population is 6 billion. The Yoruba population is about 0.1 percent of that. So who gives a rat's ass about your opinion? The entire world knows the truth and is busy eulogizing Achebe and his good works. Your tiny 0.1 percent of ranters can continue ranting ad infinitum. it's just like a drop of acid in the ocean. It is just like a noise made by a fool, signifying nothing. Una Goodnight joo.

gboss4sure: Mr OP, what have you yourself contributed to make Nigeria better. Don't tell me that you own a cyber cafe and employed 4 people or else you will get a slap.

2. Achebe was not a saddist rather just like ojukwu he saw that nothing good will come out of this unholy marriage called Nigeria and the events of these days has proven him right. What on earth makes you think that Nigeria will ever get better? The major problem of Nigeria is tribalism. Take away tribalism from every Nigerian and we will checkmate corruption and lots of others without sentiments.

Tribalsim has been planted into our midst and we can never agree on one thing again that is one of the many reasons achebe said Things fall apart, the center cannot hold again.

For you to call achebe a saddist and someone who never believe Nigeria will get better makes me continue wondering if Nigeria has gotten any better

God bless you my true Nigerian brother.

what deference does it make? Even spelled Achebe, its not like you people are ready to answer any question.

BTW, why are you crying about ashebe especially how you people spell and insult other peoples names. Don't start what you can not finish.
You mean difference? Look at the nitwits criticizing Achebe. You're not even fit to lift his pen. Your brain must be filled with oily soup. angry

All I can say is WOW at this thread.

Yesterday, all the news channels were talking about the death of Professor Achebe and some bigots have the nerve what did he actually do to promote "development" in Nigeria.

Some of these Yorubas are filled with nothing but hate.

Chinua Achebe brought pride to all of AFRICA.

Not only are Nigerians in debt to him, but all of Africa. Thankfully most Africans realize this except for some members of a certain tribe who see nothing good from his people.

When people talk about hate, you can just read this thread and see how one group can hate another with a passion.
