Achebe, one of the best writers Nigeria ever had.

I remember the satisfaction I felt when I went through his home town of Ogidi. It was validation of the Bible quote that says "can any thing good come out of Nazareth? "

Which of his books have you read?

Adventuring the memory lane while I was in JSS3 preparing for my Junior Certificate Exam, I was taught that Literature comprises of Prose, Drama and Poetry.

Tell me who balanced up the three, Prose, Drama and Poetry between Soyinka and Achebe
