Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: NigerianID | Bolaji Aluko Re: TOLA ADENIYI ON ACHEBE!!!

The death of Achebe, the renown literary scholar has opened intellectual discuss. Commentators and 'scholars' of different shades and colors have made comments. After an analytical study of the commentaries, I came to the conclusion that the death of Achebe provided a good ground for two set of commentators. The first are those who believed in Achebe and used the opportunity of his death to eulogize him. The second are writers using the opportunity of Achebe's death to register their protests against their unidentified 'literary enemies'. Mug slugging, name calling and unguarded use of foul language have replaced fair dialogue guiding intellectual discuss. I think it is time for Toyin Falola to introduce some dose of sanity into USA African Dialogue Series, so as to maintain decorum and respect for the opinion of others. Enough of exchange of words. Give Ahebe some break. Dayo Alao.
