Prof. Chinua Achebe

 Late Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe’s funeral service was held at the St. Phillip’s Anglican Church Ogidi Amambra State, southeast Nigeria on May 23, 2013.


Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan and his Ghanaian counterpart president John Mahama led dignitaries that bid farewell to the late Professor.

Speaking at the church funeral service, Jonathan said: 'Though I did not have enough time to interact with him, but I did interact with those who are like him and with mama here (Achebe’s wife Christie). I wondered whether he loved his books more than his wife.

He used literature to express his ideas of life. He used Things Fall Apart to illustrate the loss of our value system. We should ask ourselves: have we changed from what Achebe talked about?

We should work hard so that by the time Achebe (Jnr) will write his own book, he will write that ‘There is a country’ and not ‘There was a country’.

May his soul rest in peace… Amen

Ban On DANA Air Lifted

Image
The federal government yesterday cleared Dana Airline to resume operations. This is coming ninety eight days after the airline plane crash that killed about153 persons in Lagos. According to the statement made by Mr. Joe Obi the Special Adviser (Media) to the minister of aviation, the government restored the operating license of Dana Airline as it was satisfied with the air worthiness of the airline after conducting a rigorous technical, operational and financial audit of the airline. This has generated a mixed reaction among concerned Nigerians. Some believe it is not yet time to lift the suspension, questioning the rationale behind the lifting of the ban on the airline, especially as most of the families of the people involved in the plan crash are yet to be compensated. The stakeholders in the aviation industry believe it is for the good of the industry and the society at large.  Government promised to continue to strengthen its oversight and regulatory ...
