LiteratureSusan Rice Mourns Chinua Achebe On Twitter Thought He Was Laid To Rest Today by atlwireles(op): 5:05pm On Mar 23, 2015
By ADAM B. LERNER 3/23/15 11:25 AM EDT
National Security Advisor Susan Rice shared a heartfelt message on the passing of Nigerian literary icon Chinua Achebe on Monday morning.
The only problem: Achebe died two years ago.

“[T]oday is a somber day in Nigeria, as Chinua Achebe was laid to rest in his native village,” Rice wrote. In a following tweet she added “A giant of African lit., he brought the Continent-and Nigeria, in particular-2 the world. His works left lasting impression on me & my gen.”

In fact, Achebe died in March of 2013 at age 82 in Boston after a brief illness. In May of that year, an elaborate funeral with trumpeters, dancing troupes and scores of dignitaries honored the author in his native Nigeria. He was then buried in his hometown of Ogidi.
Rice deleted the tweets after other users of the social media site pointed out her mistake. She kept other tweets about Nigeria, though, including one calling for free and fair elections that linked to a video of President Obama speaking directly to the Nigerian public.
“As they head to the polls in the coming days, the Nigerian people will, as always, find a friend in the United States,” Rice said.
Before a stint as President Barack Obama’s first ambassador to the United Nations, Rice previously served as assistant secretary of state for African affairs under President Bill Clinton.
Achebe was a harsh critic of corruption in Nigerian government and was often at odds with the country’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, who is currently seeking reelection. Jonathan reportedly wanted to hold a state funeral for the writer but relented in favor of a service in Ogidi.

Perhaps best remembered for his 1958 novel “Things Fall Apart,” Achebe is now considered a titan of African literature. TIME magazine included the novel in its list of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005 and Achebe was awarded the 2007 Man Booker International Prize.
Achebe was a “freedom fighter,” said the late Nelson Mandela, “in whose company the prison walls fell down.”
He was not, however, buried this week.

Jarus:
Most epochs in history, from Singapore to Taiwan to Japan to China, were not achieved under exactly liberal setting.

Even Ghana under Rawlings set the tone for their current progress.
What progress? What did Nigeria achieve under 16 years of military rule between 1983-1999. Were does years "liberal setting"?

But having gone through this most powerful address, showing the highest degree of intelligence of this decampee, why and how have you been coping with Amaechi? I mean how on earth can such individual stay together with a complete riif raffs and a nonentity like Amaechi? A party founded in sandy soil that will melt away very soon, a party that know no peace other than violent? A party whose headed by the chief and regional Islamist and an extremist. Tufiakwa. Well it is better late than never. You are welcome back to the God Ordained party. I am very happy for you. No normal individual would open his or her eyes and sink with the failed, the oldest and ill health man.
The next step left for you is to put down all the billions of Naira meant for Rivers people Amaechi has spent as a contribution to apc and Buhari in writing and forward it to GEJ for action.
This is the question this man must answer. How he sat on the side and watch Portharcourt/Rivers stste almost become Beirut.

This isn't good enough for TV AD for PDP because Obama said a lot of things that you closed your ear to

Obama is a hypocrite. He has never visited nigeria as president. He refused to help when Ebola hit us. He did not only refuse to sell arms to us, but blocked US allies from selling to us. Hmmm!

We don't need his advice. We will conduct our elections our way. If nigeria burns, do they care? They said Boko Haram is not their priority, how come our elections are?

Bunch of wicked hypocrites!
He has been forced to acknowledge Nigeria's progress. The rest is left to us, they also know Jonathan is going to win.

There is no doubt this election will be historic, because the parasites/rent collectors of 50 years, will finally surrender to one Nigeria. Where the goals are, equal opportunity for all, responsibility from all and a community for all

Jonathan's Presidency is not a payment to South-South. The Presidency is one that any Nigerian can contest.

While to keep fanning your divisive politics, don't ever get that Nigerians are voting out Jonathan because he failed and has nothing to do with him being from SS. It is only a separatist like you who hate the Nigerian Nation will conjugate such madness.

Nigerians will elect their a President on March 28 and Nigeria will continue in peace as one as we all work towards building a better society for everyone.

It is a prediction....not the election!

Personally....I would give PDP SS and SE...with Benue, Nass , taraba ,Kogi and FCT....While APC gets the rest of the North(exceptions to come), with the SW(Except Ekiti...and 50/50 Lagos)....with states like Kaduna, Niger, Gombe ,Kwara and adamawa being the decider states.
I was referring to your Peterside comments. BUhari has a better chance of winning Rivers state, than Peterside ever becoming gov of rivers.

PoliticsRe: Cnnmoney Rates Nigeria ‘worst Performer In Africa’ by atlwireles: 7:22pm On Mar 21, 2015
[[s]quote author=ifyan post=31848764]CNNMoney has declared the country as the worst performing economy in Africa.
According to the business analysis programme, the country is facing harsh economic realities and a rapid depletion of its reserves.


“Nigeria’s currency is trading at a record low against the United States (US) dollar,” it said.

“The stock market has slumped 15 percent this year –making it the worst performer in Africa – and financial reserves are being depleted.”

In January, CNNMoney had ranked Nigeria next to China and Qatar in its rating of fast-growing economies – a survey based on International monetary fund (IMF) world economic outlook.

“By our estimate, the fastest growing economies in 2015 will be China, Qatar and Nigeria. Nigerian economy, growing by 7.0 percent, came after China 7.3 percent and Qatar 7.1 percent,” CNNMoney said in January.

The American business news outfit further said the country is experiencing a fall in its oil production capacity, political uncertainty and insurgency.

“Nigeria is currently pumping about 1.8 million barrels of crude oil per day, making it OPEC’s 7th biggest producer – alongside Angola,” it added.
