The dramatization of the epic contribution of Professor Chinua Achebe’s book, “Things Fall Apart”. The book, transcribed to more than 300 languages worldwide is renowned for its contribution towards the development of African History as till date, it remains a point of reference far beyond post secondary education in Africa and beyond. It is thought that the account, as portrayed in the book, depicts customs and tradition of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, and drawn from events as they happened in Ogidi, the Home town of much admired CHINUALUMOGU ACHEBE.

Not about liking …
Not about liking war, pls! I love the sublime egalitarian and outstandingly republican nature of the Igbos. Go to the Bible book of 1 Sam 10:20 “Then Samuel had each tribe come forward…” More, read Deut. 1 & 21 for the case being discussed here. Achebe’s book is congruent to the realities of the Igbo as Jews.

So I wonder WHO says the white man brought DEMOCRACY to Africa? Africans were living well established democratic social systems before the white man came with the Gun and Bible, nah true?

Chinua Achebe …
Chinua Achebe remains Africa’s greatest writer. His book, “Things Fall A Part” is a masterpiece.
About the heads to be found, I would say they were generally those of notorious enemies. Let me joke, for example, that of Mr Bush the dictator who has managed to walk of out of office a free man, after exterminating thousands of innocent Iraki children, women and men.
To Ifeanyi2: …
To Ifeanyi2: Killing or cutting of people’s head is not only peculiar to the Igbos.. Remember the Benin for instance uses peoples head to bury their kings not sure if they still do it now, but I still know someone that disappeared there and never to be found again. because he travelled to Benin with his long hair during the time it was said that the king died and no one was allowed to carry hair…
Not to defend such ‘barbaric’ but it belongs to history just like slavery..etc..
