Prof Corruption: Is this not supposed to be in literature or culture section? There is nothing political about night burial.
. Do u mean that it is only political issues that are entitled to front page ?

This is how a full titled man is buried in the Anambra areas,nothing new. The umuokpu will mourn him,soon after the lead mourner wails. Thereafter,he will be buried.
Naa na udo,oke osisi.

hmmmmm he died in the state. he spent good chunk of his life lecturing americans, when Nigerians need his genius. he hates Nigeria and yet he will be buried in Nigeria.

Nigeria is truly a cemetery

RIP all the same

brownlord:

It seems you very close to where those ogogoro Italian scientist discovered hell fire some few months ago

You're not making any sense here. Are you telling me EVERY Nigerian around the world was aware Professor Achebe was dead? Try thinking outside your own little circle.

Okija juju: R.I.P Prof. Chinua Achebe.

May the gods of our forefathers welcome you with arms wide open and put you in your rightful place right Next to Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe and other Great Igbo men that have departed this world before you.
