CHINUA ACHEBE - THE QUINTESSENTIAL INTELLECTUAL

Whenever the phrase “IgboNwereMmadu” is used, the name Chinua Achebe comes to mind. He is adjudged by many to have played the foremost role in telling the story of Ndigbo to the world. He used his books and essays to discuss the
way of life of Ndigbo. Prominent among these books is the globally acclaimed bestseller, “Things Fall Apart”.
Chinualumogu Albert Achebe was born on November 16, 1930, in Ogidi, Anambra State, Nigeria to Isaiah Okafo Achebe and Janet Anaenechi Iloegbunam Achebe. He had a happy
childhood. Growing up, Achebe enjoyed listening to folklores told to him by his mother and his sister Zinobia.

His formal education started at St Philip’s Central School Ogidi, in 1936. He distinguished himself as an excellent pupil with the best handwriting and reading skills.
