The death of Chinua achebe!

This threw me off my balance at first when I heard. Chinua Achebe is one of those legends I thought, as a child, will never die! You know how you see he and the likes of wole soyinka and you admire them? The thought of death will never cross your mind. It was sad but his burial was grand as expected.

If you don't by now know who Chinua Achebe is, let me give you an introduction.
Born Albert Chinualumogu Achebe; on the 16th of November 1930 , Chinua Achebe died on the 21st of March 2013. He was a Nigerian novelist, poet, professor, and critic. He was best known for his first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), which is the most widely read book in modern African literature.

I was saddened when I saw the look on the faces of his kids. We the fans and onlookers felt bad, but imagine the sadness in the hearts of his kids? *sigh*

May his soul rest in perfect peace!
