- An Irish woman Irene Duffy Lynch who had read Chinua Achebe's book, Things Fall Apart, many times wants to translate the novel to her language


- Achebe derives title of his world-famous novel from a poem written by Irish poet WB Yeats' The Second Coming

- The theme of Things Fall Apart is quite similar to that of Yeat's The Second Coming

When late African literary giant, Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe wrote his world-famous book, Things Fall Apart, he claimed was inspired by the poem of late Irish poet, WB Yeats, The Second Coming.

Achebe derived the title of Things Fall Apart from the third line of William Butler Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming.

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ...”

While Achebe is writing about the arrival of British colonialism and accompanying Christian missions causing chaos in Africa as they come into conflict with traditional Igbo culture and religion, Yeats writes against the cultural as well as political imperialism of the English.


Yeats poem and Achebe’s novel both draw attention to the parallels between the English oppression of Ireland and its oppression of Igbos in Nigeria.

According to veteran Nollywood actor who is now based in Dublin, Deji Adenuga, via his Facebook page noted that Irish woman, Irene Duffy Lynch, who has been to Nigerian fell in love with Achebe’s Things Fall Apart so much that she was said to have read it over and over and again.

Lynch was so impressed with Achebe’s book that she fell in love with it and got inspired to translate Things Fall Apart to Irish language.

The Irish woman hopes to bring Achebe’s Things Fall Apart into schools in Ireland for the enjoyment of the people of Ireland and the Irish people all over the world.

When it's comes to literature, art, tech, fashion, entertainment we know how to produce the best if the best that can meet global demand.... Achebe might be dead but the lengend still lives on through his earthly works

Stop giving us a fake larger than life image of your darling country.
You say fibre optic network is connected to 500k homes in Kenya... OK good but next time add that the houses connected are those with dough .

How can you come up here spewing vague facts everywhere... Can you tell me the number of homes of COMMON MEN connected to the 'SUPER FAST NETWORK' ?
Mr Kenya is Bae, is your home connected to your super fibre optic network?

To any other Kenyan reading this, is your home connected to your SUPERB network?
You should'a just told us it is the homes of the Indians and other high class Kenyans not forgetting the Chinese that have access to this... SMH... Can't you guys own up to your own ish.... Is it that hard?

The average Mutumbu knows his house doesn't have this. But you guys would still keep on talking...

The floor is yours FAM.

I love the way you break it down to their understanding..you are really becoming a pain the ass to this Kenya by merely giving them common facts

Carmit:



Wadafak ??!!!

So you mean to tell me I pay an average of $7 per mb??

And that the average internet package is $84...wow.... Just wow!

This is getting serious man....so I actually spend an average of $200 on data every month

I think you actually know more of me than I know of myself

Don't mind the mumu....with $3 -$7 you can subscribe for an entire month to a seamless, uninterrupted, unlimited data bundle

Carmit:


I second this!


It's always Nairobi this, Nairobi that!...

They crack me up all the time.

True

You didn't appear like anyone who knows anything about Ghana....... Takoradi apart from been an oil capital of Ghana, it also a coastal city with fishing as the major work for the locals l. hence the sighting of fish head roundabout.

jln115:

Except you don't, since I've posted a source straight from the UN explaining how it is impossible for proforce to have sold vehicles to an organisation without a standing army and where it blatantly states that member states are responsible for weapons and personnel!!

Your inability to understand the literal meaning of deploy and how it can be applied to a sentence is egregious.

Your failure to learn what makes up UN is despicable..

I therefore greet your ignorance with an howl of derision as it is most vivid that you cannot learn despite my constant elucidation on this topic for the past one month....
Honestly you are irredeemable as I am infallible

The unlimited browsing BS got me the most

Oh I see

Now I see why our president said most of the reports on Nigeria are false... Can you imagine $7 per mb??

Carmit:



How Do you expect someone who has continually Tackled himself to know. ..

I keep replying just to counter his fads about NIGERIA... The Kenyans keep hailing his baseless points on ....

If not that I have once communicated with a botswanians here on NL I would have perceived all botswanians to be like him

Carmit:


Lol.... Don't underestimate those Kenyans though..

They reek of hate too. .... They work hand in hand

True...once you have or you are building what they don't have they will quickly resort to speaking doom on it...

I called them child of 8

Carmit:


I'm already weeping

He's hopeless.

Absolutely nothing can be done to his case....

In Nigeria we say no condition is permanent but you see this one is permanent

samorobo:


Oh I see you quickly added to this ..you should left it the way it was

whatever It is. you still don't appear as someone who knows anything about the country. try to learn more about your country first. NIGERIA ).

Carmit:


I didn't even see this..

I've said it here before and I'll say it again..

What is the present status of KONZA TECHNOLOGY CITY ....we need pictures though considering the fact that this project wasn't conceived 2years ago

Also Mr suffering said dangote refinery could be done for a lesser amount. I sigh again... Dangote refinery is a PRIVATE project.... So do you expect Aliko dangote to INFLATE the budget

Why would he short change himself??

Worthy of note is that GHANA ALSO HAS A SIMILAR PURPOSE BUILT SMART CITY PROJECT... but that's another story for another day

Konza is an empty fallow land befitting only for ours ruga cows to graze there if a slight presence of grass is detected
As for our neighbours theirs was dead on arrival

vaxx2:

Obviously we both see things from different perspectives..for me this cannot be regarded as luxurious let alone liken to Beverly Hills because a few trees was planted....or may the vlogger was just joking and wanted to give viewer a spicy headlines so he can attract more clicks...this should be put up for social housing not luxury. Don't you guys have taste and class

vaxx2:
what is access

Oh sorry I meant Accra...my bad

Mr man...

Do due diligence before concluding on which country is hopeless and which isn't.

Do a mini background check on eko Atlantic (Nigeria) symbio-centurion city (south Africa) konza technology city (Kenya) and Hope City (Ghana)

Now tell me, which is hopeless??
