You see Chinua Achebe and Fela Kuti.

I see the most incorruptible Igbo man and the bravest Yoruba man that ever lived.
Both breeds are extinct now!!!

I stand to be corrected.
No correction necessary.

The both tried to liberate the black race thru their professions, the whites were scared of their level of mentality and exposure.
At that time black oppression was at its peak in america, europe and south africa.

This are legend and Buhari have also prove himself one too.
Greatest fellow Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari have put up the mandate to us to make Nigeria great again by declaring his intention for second term.
This man means we'll for Nigerians,
He entered office in 2015:
1. And since 2016,boko-haram became handicap to attack and other terrorist groups like ipob are now exterminated and their leader dead somewhere.
2. And now Looters are afraid of the name Nigeria.
3. And all is set for the payment of 5000 to all Nigerian youths.
4. And now bag of rice that was N22000 is N5000.
5. And now though dollar is high, it decreasing rate shows that in the next quarter of the year, 000.01 naira will be equal to 1 dollar and perhaps people have never been this rich in other regime compare to our great PMB regime.
6. Millions of employment everyday as those who were even sack are now getting more better jobs.
7. No strikes in our tertiary institutions again.
8. Great infrastructures now showing up every now and then both in the SS, SE, NE, NW, NC, SW... Just name it.
9. Improvement in public health care that even the president son and family are now attended to medically in Nigeria.
10. Nigeria is now written with integrity all over the world that if we can extend PMB tenure to 2023 and even add more years, a permanent seat in the UN is sure for us.
11. Industry are now working that we can now see self-driven cars on our highways.

Let support this man of change forever.

That is not the answer!

how has Achebe struggled to emancipate the black race?

also, Achebe is not an all rounder in literature he only writes in prose and poem although good at it!
