When the 'man of the people' is nolonger at ease, 'things fall apart'.

This is the correct version
.
Both versions are correct cos last time I checked Achebe wrote all four books we quoted.
.
Thanks for your version anyway

Happy birthday. But you only wrote about Igbos, Igbos and Igbos like they were thd only people in Nigeria. Sincerely, I rather celebrate Cyprian Ekwensi. Thats more like a true Nigerian. His stories had diversity

I read "their was a country" and honestly i fell in love with that work. It was a delightful read for me. I would recommend the book to those who haven't read it. It wasn't an ethnic book has most critics painted it. It was more about his life.

Did Soyinka not write about Yorubas, Yorubas and Yorubas? Does that make him less Nigerian? What is wrong with someone writing about only issues he is versed in. Soon you'll accuse Fela of playing only Afro-beat and not rock and roll. SMH.

This is the correct version
The name "Things Fall Apart" was gotten from a poem by W. B. Yeats.

He was a Hero and destroyed his statesmanship over his last work, There was a country.

He was a tribalist that left the world in a worst state than he met it. There was a man Achebe.

Not a celebrated and my ideal man

Stop spewing trash with falsehood. Soyinka did not only write about the Yorubas. Don't say what you don't know.
I am talking of variety on subjects of arts not variety on art genres. Your analogy using Fela doesn't make sense.

He wrote a world acclaimed Classic @ 28?
And some 28 year old guys are still aimless and are without bearing...

That novel was just too deep and Culture-Centric to av been duly narrated by just a 28 year Old!!!
What a Rare Gem He was..
. Not some 28 year old.most 28 year olds would still be in their parents house blaming the economy and the Government for their woes.instead of getting up and getting things done....

Happy post humous birthday to the accomplished icon of African literature. Your contributions to the popularity of African literature is immeasurably. Thank you for standing firm in the gap for Africa and confronting the stereotypical writings and belief of some racial segregationists,that portrayed Africa as a nation of savages and a dark hearted people.
