Tinubu must go

Zuma rock in Abuja is very big. They should consider it and name him after him

First, he should come back to Nigeria and live with his people.

Tellmeastory:
The FG must name something big in this country after the legendary Professor Chinua Achebe.

I am a great fan and reader of Wole Soyinka, by the way, so this is not based on any beef with the great Nobel-winning writer, who certainly earned the right to have the National Theatre named after him by President Tinubu.

But we must not put Chinua Achebe, the Booker Prize winning author of Africa’s greatest novel, Things Fall Apart, in the position of the proverbial lizard of his great book who fell from the tall iroko tree, and promised to praise himself if no one else did.

That book is Required Reading in the curricula of schools all over the world, from Kenya to the USA.

It has been translated into over 100 languages worldwide, and remains till date, the biggest selling novel by an African, bringing great honour to Nigeria.

Achebe was also an erudite advocate for good governance and govt accountability.

According to wiki

“Chinua Achebe…. was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel.

Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy".

Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).

In the West, Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.“

Gentlemen, we must honour this man.

The federal government does not require or seek the consent of a citizen’s family prior to conferring him or her with national honours.

They should ask first because last time Chinua Achebe didn't want the FG Honor

Any government that it's project is to frustrate and deal with the igbos rootlessly will surely end up a monumental failure.

Your last statement has given you out. You cannot be a normal Nigerian, because there is no single normal Nigeria born on this land. This country is the abode of about 250 million MAD people with different level of craziness

Chinua Achebe spent his latter years writing nonsense about Nigeria and Goodlock Jonathan ensured he was buried like a dog.

If he wasn't such a bitter old loser, he would have been celebrated.

Anyway, Tinubu has named an Expressway after him. If you feel it isn't enough, you donate your sisters to his family to honour him more.

You are just an ignorant person. Chinua rejected a National Honour.

Tinubu should find the biggest Pit Latrine to name after him.

The most important thing Chinua ever did was beef Soyinka, his superior in all ramifications.

Ttalk:
The coastal road that covers 8 States would be named after him though some people vehemently opposed the construction of the road

God forbid

Why not demand that Achebe get a Noble Prize as well since you are now competiting with Soyinka ?

😂😂😂

kedeojo:
God forbid

I think he is being sarcastic 😂

Does Achebe really needs a mere road or building name after him?I don't think so.

Chinua is my own best. But this thread is uncalled for at this moment. Don't drag the man's name into carnal comparison.

Ofemannnu:
lol
I remember when our Igbo brohers were fighting for Achebe to be given the Nobel laurel post humously
It is never done,they dont give after death and it is not given for being a best seller either.
James Hadley Chase had 90 titles and 50 were best sellers but he never won the Nobel prize,so also were others.
It is for classical writers not everyday story teller.

Truthfully,Chinua Achebe must be honoured by Tinubu.
He deserves being honoured.He was a great writer.

I wasn't a literature man but I read Achebe's books. I can't remember any of Soyinka's own I read.
If his were very good, my dad would have bought a couple. I read Chinua's own taking delight. His books were the most talked about while a lot of us were growing up.
As for the awards, Chinua, rejected them.

This is pointless
The man rejected national awards when he was alive
He surely wouldn't want any one now
Heck he even turned 50 cent down
That is called principles
Something the average Nigerian would struggle to grasp
QED

VulgarVulvas:

Same Nobel prize every and I mean EVERY African writer boycotted that year?
Okay😄

They can rename Zil's Mausoleum after him.

Goodvibes007:
Maybe they can find a monument in the SE and name Achiebe after it.

Good idea. Let them name Ojukwu house after him .

Learn courtesy. No one must obey you. Use the word should often . Nothing revolves around you.

Yes but he never rejected Nobel laureate award….

All of us that are proud of the Nobel laureate don't have dumb dad's.
