eriegua83: Are u alright? Someone died in 2013 nd u thought he was buried in 2012? SMH.

As a matter of fact, I thought he died in 2011.
Thanks for the correction, babe

No problem. However, what's left of the policemen population in Nassarawa state and the poor civillians in Baga are also expecting him.

GEJ we ar patiently waiting ur arrival, is well wit u my presido.

Whoever couches GEJ on the laws of Power is doing a great job. His personal presence at Achebe's burial will be a milestone in his assemblage and glorification of ancestral Igbos. Jonathan has an Igbo DNA, so have I. Apart from these Ancestral linkages, Achebe is a global icon, and I dare say over 80 million people have read his works so he deserves greater respects even in death than during a transient living. I love Achebe's things fall apart more than the Asian theological books cos it tells the story of a people, as is, and as was. May the Great Soul of the Great Man, who lived and died in my times, rest peacefully. So mote it be! GEJ, you have my respect for this giant stride to adore a man, who was more than we know. The Niccolo Machiavelli of our time.

jaymdee: But Prof. Achebe doesn't want the President to attend his funeral. He made it clear to us!

Dead people can't say No #Jonah2015

This is no news.

Let them rename the Niger Bridge after him.Period!

lol that shows her level of reasoning clouded by bigotry

Chino48: South East political leaders , Saturday met in Enugu to map out reception plans for President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the funeral of the late literary icon, Prof. Chinua Achebe next week.

Jonathan has confirmed his decision to attend the funeral which will take place at Ogidi, Anambra state.

Chairman of South East Governor’s forum, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State told reporters that the meeting focused on reception for the president.

make him no come ooo cos i de vex for him....i might bomb him oooo.....

Its likely that Uni-Abuja or National Library maybe renamed after Achebe. Achebe remains the greatest African after Mandela.

Welcome home my brother

I thought you people said it was Ojukwu

Finally, the great one will be laid to rest, he stood on the side of truth, he gave his people (The Igbos) a guide (There Was A Country) against oppressors and future revisionist before he took his exit! Achebe, like you rightly predicted in 1958 about this 'contraption' things have fallen apart and therefore it is no longer at ease! Adieu, Chinua Achebe, a literary titan!

Achebe deserves the most befittng burial ever in Nigeria bcus each and every one of us learnt n he impacted his knowldge to us all, even jonathan himself, so if Jonathan wants to come pass the 9t @ Achebe's country home, its worth it.

Send him a RSVP for boko haram bomb launch party.

U re on point__dat would make perfect sense

(Jobless presdo)

ℓ̊ heard nnamdi azikiwe

Nope,he just died in march this year

Texas.Cowgirl:
Thought this dude was buried last year

aminho: Tax payers Money don dey suffer for My country

Na today?

That analysis does not always hold,d number of people in a political rally does not guarantee success in d election.

AK 48: This is a show of political strenght of numbers,anambra a state in southeast which is assumed to be a support base for gej.the crowd will be seriously concentrated by pdp and apc.earlier on cpc had their congress the reception is massive,we ndigbo are expecting the crwd to double that,n the absence of that then there is a negative message for gej.












#just analysing#

Who cares??

Me thinks that Jonathan's attendance is in his best interest. Hopefully, he'll learn a thing or two about excellence from the life of Professor Achebe. But wait a minute, Jonathan and learning? Who am I kidding? Oga Jona o, just remember to bring the Ombatse Amnesty package, drop it off in Nassarawa and head down to Anambra.
Now trust the Southeast Governors and their lackeys to make Achebe's burial more about the reception of Mr President, 2015, political favours than Achebe himself!

dayokanu:

Presidency is not to attend Owambe all over the place I thought someone would have told the clueless Retardeen by now

Next thing he go dey settle quarrel between Davido and him girlfriend

I hope you can hear yourself and i believe you are trying to sound intelligent unfortunately, you ended up portraying yourself as an object of ridicule which leaves me in doubt as regards to your age.

Indeed, maturity is a thing of the mind and i sincerely hope you attain it soonest.
