Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: QUOTE OF THE DAY!!

It is that way beceause Achebe chose to present his book to the world in an essay where he places the the ethnic issue at the centre.

No Toyin, Achebe rather presented Awolowo's role as a major member of the war cabinet on the Nigerian side. It was the "Awoist" penchant for rewriting history that threw up the ethnic angle. My last on this. Be well.

"It is unfortunate that Chinua Achebe's book, a very vital look at the issues of contemporary Nigeria, Africa and the current global situation is now reduced to a debate on Awolowo who is in the larger context of the book rather insignificant. Much of this is driven by people who have not read the book, and speaks volume about these characters who hitch the wagons before the horses." - Obi Nwakanma
