Dear @AmnestyNigeria why can’t you finish what you have started 🙋 “There Was A Country”, was one of the popular late Chinua Achebe’s work.
The above comment was from a twitter user who reminded the Amnesty International, Nigeria for omitting a book from Chinua Achebe‘s works while celebrating his 89th posthumous birthday.
Today would have marked the 89th birthday of the great African litarary icon, Chinua Achebe. He was born on this day: Nov. 16, 1930.
Late Achebe was known as a personality that’s never silent in the face of tyranny
Listing out books authored by him are:
-Things Fall Apart 1958
-No Longer at Ease 1960
-Arrow of God 1964
-A Man of the People 1966
-Anthills of the Savannah 1987
However, twitter users have asked Amnesty to also include in the list, “There Was A Country”, also authored by Achebe.
