One of the most prominent authors in African history, his critically acclaimed book Things fall apart has been read all over the world.
I remember reading his book The Trouble with Nigeria which analyzed Nigeria and the issues that the growing country faced. This book inspired me (and still does) to care about the future of my country, to question the problems it faces and strive to bring about change.
Living a life not without controversy, Chinua Achebe will forever be remembered as a giant of Africa who used his talent to tell the much needed story of Africa by an African.
