Does Chinua Achebe Deserve To Be Honored In Death By Fed. Goverment. by manosteel(m): 4:51am On Mar 24, 2013 |
Arguably, Achebe remained one of the greatest writers that have threaded the African Shore, no doubt many were inspired by his works, including our own Chimanda Adiche. It is no news that few occasions, he was to be honored by Federal Goverment, He turned it down, citing Corruption, lack of basic infrastructures due to bad governance as his reason. The same reason that made Prof Wole Soyinka smashed his own award the Lagos street. Achebe believed in equal Justice and He strongly stood by it when He could have used His Influence, and dinned with goverment officials instead of criticising them. Do you think this man should be honored in death by the Federal Goverment of Nigeria. |
