Chinua Achebe has been inspirational to me since I was 12. I read his first book in Form 1 and then again in Form 4, when his book, "A man of the people" was a set book.
Chinua, we love you. Keep up the good work!

@P101794" Land in a swamp, march through the woods, and
in some inland post feel the savagery, the utter savagery,
had closed round him—all that mysterious life of the wilderness
that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the hearts
of wild men. There’s no initiation either into such mysteries.
He has to live in the midst of the incomprehensible, which
is also detestable. And it has a fascination, too, that goes to
work upon him. The fascination of the abomination .."
Heart of Darkness , c. 1

How dare he say that Heart of Darkness is a racist novel. The most outrageous things any idiot has said.

Dont mistake him for his phylosophy. He writes about colonial disaster does not mean he cannot play reaggae music or some´thng else. Try read his book properly.
-
I don't know what you all see here, but I think this documentary has undertones that contradict's Achebe's very anti-colonial values.

Achebe is simply the greatest!

stop saying that, he lived so long in the USA because he was sick and cannot be taken care of in Nigeria. Do you think if he was in Nigeria he will still be alive.
