Blake755:
Wow if he had studied medicine he won't have had this kind of impact in the society is good to follow your dreams keep resting legend

You never can tell what breakthrough or exploit he could have done in field of medicine.

I will be waiting for any posthumous birthday of anyone from northern part not only islamic issue and boko haram block head people

Achebe wasn't an ordinary man,but an icon

He was a great man. A creator of CHARACTERS. OKONKWO, EZEULU, UNOKA, OBIKA, OBI...
Pete Edochie's role as OKONKWO sticks in my memory.

I am re-reading THERE WAS A COUNTRY now to understand better the NIGERIA of today.

How many of his books have you read? If you have not read THINGS FALL APART, you are missing something.

I never forget his character -SMOG- in CHIKE AND THE RIVER...I have bought a copy for my boy to read.

Things fall apart.... The center cannot hold

The girls are still at war...RIP sire

So Chinua Achebe share thesame birthday with Nnamdi Azikiwe. All I can say is that, there is something about November 16

His novels were prophetic.

Exactly

In May 1966, His book ' A man of the people' effectively predicted the events typical of post colonial Nigeria that would later lead to the July 1966 Military coup. This was done satirically but it eventually played out ending in a bloody coup.

In 1987, His book 'The Trouble with Nigeria' makes a good read x-raying the issues bedeviling the country and looking back since then, those issues are spot on and continue to exist.

Not all prophets need a cassock or cloak! Chinua Achebe was legendary!

Keeping an average Nigerian from being corrupt is like keeping a goat from eating yam ...Chinua Achebe - The Trouble with Nigeria(1983)

Happy Posthumous Birthday to the great iroko Tree of our time

Your comment is wrong, that was not Achebe's quote, he only referred to the quote to counter it as lacking sense and reason .

According to Achebe in his book "The trouble with Nigeria", A goat needs yam as food and nourishment to survive whereas corruption is not a basic necessity for a Nigerian to survive .

He also added that the comment was completely unfair and although Nigerians are not the best behaved people on earth, they/we (Nigerians) are what we are because our leaders are not what they should be .

Chinua the great

Go fuvk your mum

I won't do what you are doing in your family... Not everyone comes from a shameless lineage like you. Keep bleeping your mother, sisters, and every female gender in your family. Don't leave out the goats and dogs. Asshole

Wow! Nice

I also service your mum's dirty puna trice a week ....

Infant I'm the reason her pussy never rust!

That your mother doesn't have any dignity and has been run over by every available dick irrespective of whose, doesn't mean mine is as such loose. I have a mother but you got birthed by a loose bitch. Your shameless mother shouldn't have been birthed talk less of continuing her disgraceful history/lineage by birthing you.... A shameless LovePeddler and a bastard child, Chinua Achebe would have loved to know your story and make a novel of it.

Lolz... you said it all by your fucking self

alphaNomega:
At what age do we stop celebrating posthumous birthdays?

His works already immortalise him. Leave his birthday for the living

Exactly, Exactly!

You did not need to edit my words and turn it to be yours.. However I am not surprised by your antics as it is a well accustomed trait of the useless lineage you were birthed into. Everything crime is right to you and it isn't even shameless any longer. I won't trade words with a nitwit like you. You already got the most attention that your miserable life needs. Now, keep wandering aimlessly and foolishly on earth and you can end up rotten in hell. Au revoir

Legendary Chinua Achebe

For indomie generation, these are some of his books you should take out time from the internet and read;
Things fall Apart
No longer at Ease
A man of his People
Arrow of god
Anthills of the Savannah

The only one I didn't read: No longer as ease.

My favourite are: Things fall apart and Anthills of the Savannah
