ReplyDeleteONE AMONG THE GREATEST,WHEN I FIRST CAME ACROSS YOUR PICTURE TWO DAYS BACK ON THE INTERNET,I SAID TO MYSELF: "ACHEBE,WHO KNOWS THE AWARD YOU HAVE WON THIS TIME." THEN CAME THIS BLOW ON MY HEAD FROM AN INVISIBLE HAND,SENDING GOOSE PIMPLES ALL OVER MY BODY AS I READ THE MESSAGE THAT FOLLOWS:"CHINUA ACHEBE DIES AT 82".
ReplyDeletePROF,YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE GIANT ON WHOSE SHOULDER I HAVE BEEN STANDING WHILE WRITING MY NOVEL HOPING THAT YOUR GREAT NAME WILL BE ON THE COVER PAGE OF MY BOOK;NOW MY NOVEL WILL COME OUT IN FOUR MONTHS TIME FROM NOW BUT YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THERE AT LEAST TO SAY TO ME : "NNA, JI SIE IKE."
WHEN I TOLD MY WIFE THAT ACHEBE IS DEAD,SHE SCREAMED: "WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!?,"SHE THEN PICKED UP A COPY OF 'THINGS FALL APART'SHE IS STILL READING,WHICH I BOUGHT FOR HER LAST MONTH HERE IN US,FLIPPING OVER SOME PAGES RANDOMLY AND SHAKING HER HEAD SHE ADDED,"EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DEAD,YOUR BEAUTIFUL STORY WILL NEVER DIE".
PROF,THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ENCOURAGING PEOPLE LIKE US,WE WILL CONTINUE FROM WHERE YOU STOPED,PROMOTING AND PROTECTING AFRICAN AT ALL COST.
REST IN PEACE,GERAT ONE.
