Wat a great honor to an icon R.I.P
Daddy rest in d bossom of d lord,till we meet Τ̲̅ȍ part no more.
Is this actually necessary? So without all this show it cant be said he was honoured even in death? Nigerians just love a whole lot of drama and showbiz, I can only imagine how much has gone into this preparation, yet the living are there yelling and screaming to be fed and provided for.

rest in peace to an icon

Another colossus has left.rip chinua
Great man.y all dis swag?c peter obi,d man evry burial his there spending. Our state money.Achebe was a simple man.he even refused an award cos he felt Nigeria needs help.Evry1 scout 4 his last book ,a true tale of our country called 'A country' in stores now.
Chinua Acehebe will be turning in his coffin right now because he would never have wanted a state burial by the federal republic of Nigeria. it should be noted that chinua Achebe never considered himself a Nigerian and kicked against the sustained amalgamation of the old British protectorates. He connotes these thought quite clearly in his final work and was also very vocal on the secessionist side of the Nigerian debate till death.
Adieu the great novelist
Icon! May his soul rest in perfect peace.
An icon indeed......RIP

RIP sir....u will greatl be missed.
La nu'do sir.....
Continu 2 rest well in d bossom of our Lord sir.:::::::
I think it will be unfair to Nigerians, whose skin color and image Achebe's recognition and brand represents are officially kept off from the burial activities.
It is simply a celebration of a live well spent or well lived. Nothing more. And i as a Nigerian participate in this burial through the legitimate Government of my country today as i am not close by to visit Ogidi.
We should also recognize that in our culture, hundreds and thousands of uninvited Guests come to mourn any person dying in their communities especially if the person made even a little impact to their lives.Achebe is therefore a brand of Nigeria that Government which represents the commoner must find a fitting and responsible way of celebrating on our behalf.

RIP sir, u shall be missed.
A rare gem has gone. May his soul and d souls of all d faithful departed rest in peace, Amen!

Anonymous 6:08 PM.What is the problem with you? Must you bring tribalism into this? Was it too hard for you to just pay tribute and fade out? God Almighty, created all tribes. He is the God of all not just Igbos. There are great men-Icons, from every tribe and nation.
A literary icon, a tribal jingoist, rip
Knucklehead
Oh shoot where's the 'Like' button!???? Pheeww
Aside having froggy eyes, do you have any other thing in your head? Especially the gray matter called brain? If you don't celebrate heroes and role models both in life and death, how do you encourage the younger generation to emulate them?
Maureen I see you oh. Looking nice. Rest in Peace prof!
Nigeria miss a great man may his soul rest in peace
Achebe will not be happy seeing his remain being covered with nigeria flag, Respect his principle.
Not "a country" buh "there was a country".
Ugonabo jee nke oma.
LINDA I NOTICED THAT YOU REFUSED TO POST ONE OF MY COMMENTS,
MADE ME THINK OF THE 'Blacklist.' HOWEVER, FOR THE SAKE OF MY IDOL CHINUA ACHEBE, POST THIS. 'UMUOFIA KWENU!' MR CHINUA ACHEBE YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HUMOUR IN YOUR BOOKS AND THE INSPIRATION, YOU WILL BE IN MY HEART, MY MAMA's AND MILLIONS...
THANK YOU SO MUCH...
PAPA, YOU DESERVE THE HONOUR, TRUE ICON, TRUE POET,WRITER, ALL IN ALL!
UMUOFIA KWENU! UMUOFIA KWENU! UMUOFIA KWENU!? YAA!!!
YOU TRULY ARE THE BEST, PAPA!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

She obviously doesn't av a brain. She goat! Wit dose dirty eyes of urs. Jst look at wot ur saying, after u say ur educated? SMH! Ur a bloody illiterate
Rest in peace sir. You deserve a state burial. People like you are born once in a lifetime. I also like the way the Ibos are repping here. He was OUR hero 'smiles'. A true statesman.
RIP sir
R.I.P Chinua Achebe, your work has inspired and would continue to inspire many in ours and future generations.

THE LOSS OF GOLD IS GREAT, THE LOSS OF CHINUA IS GREATER. THERE WAS A COUNTRY, AND U ARE THE ENBODIEMENT OF WHAT THE COUNTRY STANDS FOR. I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING ME HAVE AN IDENTITY, BUT GOD LOVES YOU MOST. RIP PAPA, WE ARE COMING TO BE WITH YOU THERE.
The coffin should have been covered in Biafran flag. He was a true ambassador of 'that country'! No pun intended. He was indeed a great story teller.
@TWITS. African literature was already in existence before he was born. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
things has completely fallen apart... RIP
