If You been on the Google Today, You must have seen the photo above, and thats Legendary Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe, And Google is celebrating him on his Posthumous birthday to November 16th.. I just saw it, and had to screen-grab it Asap.
Here’s a brief about him:
”The Nigerian author is been honoured in a Google Doodle, underscoring his status as a towering figure of 20th century literature.

In contrast to European works that allowed Africans only minor or one-dimensional roles, Mr Achebe wrote novels that showed Nigerians as complex characters endowed with agency.

His best-known work, “Things Fall Apart,” remains a staple of school curricula. It tells the story of Okonkwo, the proud leader of his village.

The novel depicts the complex customs of the Igbo people, one of multiple ethnic groups in Nigeria with a distinct culture and language.
The book portrays how Okonkwo’s world is upended by the appearance of Christian missionaries, and its closing paragraph — written from the perspective of a recently arrived colonial leader — functions as a haunting allusion to how European observers reduce and dismiss complex African cultures.

And he has been named one of the world’s most important modern writers.
