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.
the interviewer is hot,things fall apart was what got me interested in literature and i haven't looked back since. Nice to know the old guy is still kicking, great story teller.
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
A very worthy man. A great son of Africa. The true son of Ogidi. May you see many more years of truely accomplished life. The Igbos understand your absence. Africa remains grateful for your contributions. MEDIAFRIC TV LONDON
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.
@Danladi27 Truth is bitter but ba kwomi in sha allah everything will be okay. The north too are not more interested of say na brother dey rule but somebody who has something to offer our beloved Nigeria

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...
