Castle Boy, are you not one of those that we need? we read Achebe's works, loved and hated some of the characters. Eventually we understood the importance of the roles of the characters and the style of the writer. What has been the effect of Achebe's work. Good Leaders?
Good thinkers? What are we goingto do instead of continually blaming our leaders, instead of doing our part correctly to change things?

We thank God for his life and works; now that he's been recalled to eternity, we pray that the good Lord raise another Chinua Achebe for Africa to continue from where the late had left off.

African Literature has lost one of its giants. May his soul rest in peace. May his body of work live on. Please buy and read Things Fall Apart to your kids. Excellent literary genius.

I have had cause to ask myself this question so many times-'Why do we blame our leaders all the time?' Who selects them and empowers them? Why do the writers and speakers appear so effecient, honest, sincere and better thn the leaders but cannot change nor do anything to bring the change? I am referring to Otoo, Castle boy. Mr figure it out, abotsi etc etc. Are these guys not leaders themselves? From what we read, thereis so much in their minds and in their pens yet ..........

Sure, the python has had to use its tail to fight for its life because its head is in the mouth of a wild animal . How would Achebe describe his motionless body if it were possible for him to see it? Indeed Africans and his numerous fans across the world shall dearly miss him. ln spirit, we are with the people of Ogidi in assisting our hero to cross the big river safely. Hede nyuie . RIP

Turning and turning the widening gear, the falcon cannot bear the falconer; Things fall apart, the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,.."
Look around you and see his wisdom and vision. Global warming,deforestation, wars, greed, terrorism,tribalism,disregard of life,anarchy,etc. The center cannot hold indeed and mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. This Noble man really has shapped my life/way of thinking. MR ACHEBE THE GREAT,I thank you and MAY YOU REST IN PERFECT PEACE.
