Abstract: 

The recent transition of literary giant Albert Chinualumogu Achebe has led to an uncommon outpouring of encomiums. Achebe's transition came less than a year after his last major work, THERE WAS A COUNTRY: A Personal History of Biafra (2012) has stirred controversy in the country. His critics argued that the work diminished him from being Nigeria's gift to the literary world to an 'Igbo-phile'.
