Chinua Achebe

www.forbes.com/pictures/ehed45mef/chinua-achebe-80-nigeria/
Chinua Achebe is one amazing Nigerian, known for his world famous book: things fall apart; of which has been translated into 40 or more languages worldwide.

However, you cannot claim he is the most famous Nigerian ever.

In my opinion I believe it is Fela Kuti. Forget about how he fought for the average Nigerian citizen, I choose him on the basis of his success in creating Afrobeats which is one of the biggest music genres in the world.

I hope to think that you might agree with me on this one.

The father of modern african literature,we are proud of you.
Another thing that made me to love this man is that he is not the cheap type,imagine he rejected $1million offer from 50cent in order to use the title of his book 'THINGS FALL APART'on a movie,he also rejected national honour from fg twice.

Its sad that's the only thing Nigerians remember him for.
Even Rashidi Yekini who died three years back is already forgotten on his home soil but remembered as a hero in foreign nations.

Fela with his music frustrated a dictatorial system of government backed by western colonialists. We should glorify his name for that not use his bad habit of weed smoking to vilify him.

Chinua Achebe is indispensably a man of honor and a profound persona. #RIP sir.. Your legacy shall live forever.

We are even prouder, even the American senate gave him a minute of silence in the senate chamber when he died.
Something that no Nigerian dead or alive has been honored with.

Igbos making me proud since 1980.

The man hated the concept of Nigeria. He did not see any decent future for Nigeria due to its many irreparable faultlines.
And some deluded one-nigeria apologists think they know better than him.
One Nigeria is a fraud.

Fela that taught young people to practise immorarity in his shrine, multiple wives and HIV distributor, igbo weed smoker that even destroyed young people in western Nigeria. Thats is the one you are rooting for. I hope you do also go for charly boy. Well, chinua achebe remains the most famous african man that ever lived without nobel prize that was denied him in mid seventis because of his critic of white imperialist.
