I on behalf of the Igbos on Nairaland And the Indigenous People of Biafra wish the Prof a very happy birthday. Even though we all know Chinua Achebe deserved that Nobel Prize in Literature and not you. I still admire you. Thanks for your literary works, Thanks for your nonconformism Thanks for the SeaDogs Thanks for speaking up against oppression. Happy birthday and many more years sir! 96 Likes 5 Shares |
