The Man who cried “My weapon is literature” is no more.
“Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.” ― Chinua Achebe
It was end of an era on Friday with the passing away of Chinua Achebe, one of the World's most admired literary figures. It is to his credit that he rose from humble beginnings to make a name for himself in Africa and abroad. His writings have served and will continue to serve as an inspiring model for thousands of young African writers and even writers outside Africa.
