I stumbled across this gentlemens work wondering through the library. Special. As a British Born Carribean I relate to his dialogue on the west

@Ronayspy Just finished it too. Def 1 of my favorites of all-time. We must tell the stories so our children do not forget where they came from.

I have not come across many writers, of all creeds, 'races' and mental abilities, and while I respect them all, My heart melts with immense respect and reverence to this Afrikan mind whose genius brought me up from the sandpit of self-ignorance and illumined my soul with love for Mama Afrika, and therefore for myself. His creativity, I pray does not leave us when the finally departs into the higher realms! Baba Achebe, I love you beyond my limited ability to describe it in words.
