Yesterday Mr Chinua Achebe, A Man of
the People went to visit Chike and The River to explain How the
Leopard Got his claws. As he was doing so, The Anthills of the
Savannah started to bite him all over which made him No Longer at
Ease. As he fought and fought, the situation only became worse and
even put the boys and Girls at War. He thought he would still try to
reason with them by playing The Flute, until he was struck by an
Arrow of God. Achebe decided that he could not win this battle and
realized this was the Trouble with Nigeria; it would always be filled
with false Hopes and Impediment. He decided all he could do was walk
away and watch all Things Fall Apart.
November 16, 1930 - March 22, 2013:
Chinua Achebe RIP
An inspiration, motivation and a strong
example that OUR stories should be told by US.
