It is with a sense of loss I write to acknowledge the exit of one of Africa's literary giant and Nigeria's greatest writer to have transversed the face of the earth. Millions have been affected by his books positively. When books such as Things fall apart, Arrow of God are mentioned the name Chinua Achebe readily comes to mind. What a loss! My encounter with this reverred writer was through his book, The Problem with Nigeria, that book left me with a lasting impression of one that is truly patriotic. Those problems he highlighted then and I mean over 15 years are still staring us as Nigerians in the face today. Whither Nigeria! May His Gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
