Achebe Needs No Tombstone To Remind Us Of His Legacies – ACF

Professor-Chinua-Achebe1-1024x683Publicity Secretary of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Anthony Sani, has lamented the death of ‘Things Fall Apart’ author, Prof. Chinua Achebe and prayed that God grant the people and government of Nigeria the fortitude to endure what cannot be changed saying death is an inevitable end for all mortals.

“The professor is gone in flesh but in many ways, he is very much around considering the fact that he needs no tombstone to remind us of his legacies.

“We can imagine his body lying in peace and in pains: the peace associated with death and the pains of what he has left behind that are still begging for attention,” Sani said.

“One way to remember Professor Chinua Achebe is to live up to his legacies.

“However we feel the loss of the professor. We may not trade places with those who did not share the sentiments of what he stood for in life,” the forum stated.
