naptu2: I hope it's not true, but if it's true then it means that the first generation is going and taking their experience with them.
FYI , a generation is 30yrs.so divide Achebes 82yrs by 30,u wil know that he is not OUR generation but in his nearly 3 generation

Wole Soyinka (“You must break forth at Dawn”) Survived Chinua Achebe’s There was a Country
Wole is in Nigeria though traversing the world, and speaking out for the oppressed in his country Nigeria, Achebe got angry about Nigeria, Turned down all National Honor (though commendable) after his Accident and prefers USA to Nigeria, Insults Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Castigated the Yoruba race for his annoyance in Biafra
He managed to write his Last book to show his resentment for the race he hated so much and made shocking remarks for which younger African shut him up.
Unlike Wole Soyinka, He closed his eyes to Nigeria and reacted only when it concern his tribe.
His work “Things Fall apart” and “Arrow of god” brought him fame and honor and that was all
RIP Prof. Chinua Achebe

To think one if his last actions before he expired was to water the soil of ethnic tensions and fertilize further tribal disharmony with a sprinkling of Igbo supremacy
Shame!
