For someone so published as you, it is difficult to write anything about you that have not been written. Nevertheless, I have to bid my Uncle Chinua farewell with a few words.
My older siblings always shared pleasant memories of your holidays/visits with them when they were growing up. They would recount how you would indulge them with nice things. My brother Ezenwata Dr. Emaka Achebe could not stop telling the whole world how you bought him his first Conway Stewart Pen. This pen ranks up there with the likes of Parker Pen. I thought that all your nephews and nieces around my age were the unlucky ones because we came along shortly before you started your family therefore devoted more time to your family.
