BREAKING NEWS: Chinua Achebe is Dead!

Tragedy has befallen the land. The iroko  Chinua Achebe is Dead! has fallen. The Eagle On The Iroko, Prof. Chinua Achebe, is dead.

Chinua Achebe, one of the world's most celebrated writers and author of the classic novel Things Fall Apart, is dead.

He died last night in a hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Professor Achebe had been sick for some time.

He was 82, having been born on November 16, 1930, and had been in hospital in recent days.

Achebe is best known for his classical novel Things fall Apart. His last book, There Was A Country: A Personal History of Biafra, is still making waves.

Until his death, Prof Achebe was the David and Marianna Fisher University Professor and Professor of Africana Studies at Brown.

Below is how the university profiled him on its website.

"Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe is known the world over for having played a seminal role in the founding and development of African literature. He continues to be considered among the most significant world writers. He is most well known for the groundbreaking 1958 novel Things Fall Apart, a novel still considered to be required reading the world over. It has sold over twelve million copies and has been translated into more than fifty languages.

"Achebe's global significance lies not only in his talent and recognition as a writer, but also as a critical thinker and essayist who has written extensively on questions of the role of culture in Africa and the social and political significance of aesthetics and analysis of the postcolonial state in Africa. He is renowned, for example, for "An Image of Africa," his trenchant and famous critique of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Today, this critique is recognized as one of the most generative interventions on Conrad; and one that opened the social study of literary texts, particularly the impact of power relations on 20th century literary imagination.

"In addition, Achebe is distinguished in his substantial and weighty investment in the building of literary arts institutions. His work as the founding editor of the Heinemann African Writers Series led to his editing over one hundred titles in it. Achebe also edited the University of Nsukka journal Nsukkascope, founded Okike: A Nigerian Journal of New Writingand assisted in the founding of a publishing house, Nwamife Books-an organization responsible for publishing other groundbreaking work by award-winning writers. He continues his long-standing work on the development of institutional spaces where writers can be published and develop creative and intellectual community."

Mr. Emezue said that detractors of the government did not want to see anything good in the current administration and had insisted that the incident occurred at ABSU.

"They should now bury their faces in shame," he said.

He stated that Abia people are decent and cannot get involved in such barbaric act, urging Abians to ignore the antics of those who do not mean well for the state.

My Oga At The Top: "Obafaiye Shem Not Sacked" – FG

The Federal Government said Wednesday, it had not taken any disciplinary action against the Lagos State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Mr. Obafaiye Shem, over the interview he granted a Lagos broadcast medium.

The government's reaction followed claims that Shem had been sacked on the orders of the Minister of Interior, who supervises the NSCDC.

Findings by Vanguard revealed that contrary to the rumoured sack or suspension of the officer, who was becoming popular by the day as a result of the controversial but hilarious interview with Channels, the government had not taken any step to sanction him.

A source at the Interior Ministry told Vanguard on Wednesday that the minister had not at any time asked for the suspension of the said officer.

Speculations had become rife that Shem had been sacked and his family members stranded as a result of the disciplinary action by the government.

In fact, one account had it that the wife of the officer had even approached the television station to complain about the fate of his husband occasioned by the controversial interview.

"It is not true that the ministry of Interior has sacked or suspended the said officer.

"The man in question had taken permission to go and bury his father and there is no truth whatsoever in the wild allegation that the ministry of interior had sacked the officer," a source close to the ministry said.

Shem, who resurfaced earlier in the week after burying his father, was quoted as saying, "I am still the State Commandant of NSCDC and I am determined to work hard to expose the vandals across the State."

He denied claims that his wife visited Channels and complained about his fate, saying that his spouse was with him throughout the burial.

When contacted, the Special Assistant to the Minister of Interior, George Udoh, confirmed that Shem had not been suspended on sacked as claimed in the social media.

He however declined to give more details on the matter.

SHOCKING: 60 killed, Dozens Injured In Luxurious Bus Explosion In Kano (MORE PHOTOS)

Kano State has been thrown into pandemonium as a bomb just went off at New Road, Sabon Gari area of the city.

A witness told PREMIUM TIMES that the bomb exploded at the hub of a commercial Luxury Bus park usually filled with commuters going from Kano to the South.

Another witness said an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, was planted near the park causing one of the buses to go up in flames.

A recent report showed that four dead bodies have been brought in to the accident and emergency ward of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital and many men, women and children wounded.

Recent report claims that over 60 passengers were killed while dozens got injured following the explosion.

Several other casualties have also been evacuated to other hospitals across the town for emergency treatment.

The blast affected both passengers in the bus that was about to exit the park and many others within the vicinity of the park.

The blast caused a stampede with many people getting hurt and cars crashing.

Details are still sketchy with some sources saying the explosion emanated from a car parked beside the bus while others claim it was from within the bus.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the Police in Kano, Magaji Majiya, confirmed the incident. He however, said he has not gotten the full details.

The area has now been cordoned off by soldiers and police officers.

At the moment, no one can confirm the status of casualties in this attack as effort to contact the police or JTF was not successful as at the time of compiling this report, however residents say the area was combed by JTF.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Boko Haram, which has frequently attacked the city, was a prime suspect. A spokesman for security forces in Kano state, Ikedehia Iwehia, said dead and wounded were being evacuated.

The sect often targets Christians.

"I ran for my dear life and managed to get out of the park after the second blast. Many people are lying dead. See, my clothes are covered in blood," said witness Ibrahim Bello, holding up a blood-soaked shirt.

A reporter who was at the scene counted 25 bodies. However, Channels TV reports that 60 people were killed and dozens were injured.

A member of Igbo traditional council in Kano, Tobias Idika, who confirmed the explosion to Channels TV said there were over 200 people in the bus.

"IED was kept inside the luxurious bus which was about to leave Kano to Lagos, people were frying like chicken here and you know there are over two hundred people in this bus when the two IEDs exploded," he was quoted as saying.

The area has now been cordoned off by Military and Policemen. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
