USA Africa Dialogue Series - On the Special Issue of ALT

HI Chimalum. So long. 

In respect of the special issue of ALT that you are guest-editing, I would like to suggest that you invite Nnedi Okorafor to contribute a story. She has been consistent in pioneering science fiction in African literature. 

Regards. 

Obododimma Oha.

Walter Carrington was a great soul. He came to Nigeria with the irrepressible will and love of the first black pan-Africanists. I met him once closely and felt his spirit. I have not met anybody who did not love him. And thanks to his wife who really made his life quite joyful. My deepest sympathy. Our last contact was at the Achebe colloquium  at Brown University. He lived a life which all Nigerians who knew him will always remember. He was in the deeper meaningful political African sense a great brother. May his soul rest in perfect peace and may the Great Spirits grant us the blessing of another Walter Carrington .

A former United States ambassador to Nigeria, Walter Carrington, is dead.

His wife, Arese Carrington, announced the death in an email to The PUNCH on Wednesday, titled, "Press Release – Ambassador Walter C. Carrington, former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria and Senegal."

Arese said the ex-envoy "passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at the age of 90yrs old on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020."

She said, "It is with a heavy and broken heart but with gratitude to God for his life of selfless humanity that I announce the passing of my beloved husband Walter Carrington, former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria and Senegal.

"Walter was a loving husband, father, grandfather, cousin, uncle, friend and in-law.

"Ralph Waldo Emerson said…It is not the length of life but the depth of life. Walter was fortunate; his life had both length and depth."
