    I read one of his books many years ago and it was the best literary prose that culturally, historically, and politically I had ever read that depicted Sub-Saharan Africans in an understandable light. I appreciate the depth of his characterizations of pre-colonial Ibo culture! 1000s of kudos to this magnificent literary writer. "Things Fall Apart" put me mentally and emotionally in the midst of Ibo culture in the epoch depicted in the novel.

    being married to an Edo woman I am very interested in Naija. I have been interested in West Africa anyway even before I met my wife. My point is, I am European so my point of view if may be a bit different, please cherish your Nigerian writers and poets, whether they are Edo, Yoruba,Ibo,Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani etc, so read Achebe, Soyinka,Okri etc..I have, thanks to my wife

    Influence is not achievements in life and Europeans understood this concept, for this reason university educations are not priority but individual's role in society.
    For some one to think that education to level of PhD is what makes different is uncertain of history of the world.

    Hey u posted comment on youtube about when the north nigeria will produce an author, for your information i am from the North, am a core notherner with typical hausa fulani accent but now in Switzerland's private christian university heading software department. And guess what? Am in my early twenties, quick enough for the North to produce influential person than other regions you thought. If u wanna find how correct this is, then mail me personally and we can figure this out...
