Chinua AchebeAs part of activities to mark the 40th anniversary of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), which one of Africa’s greatest novelists, Chinua Achebe, founded at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka, the Anambra State government has endowed an N1 million worth Chinua Achebe Prize for Nigerian Writing.
The Prize is to be administered by ANA founded in 1981. x
The state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C. Don Adinuba, made the endowment known in Awka, the Anambra State capital, recently, while speaking with journalists.
Adinuba reported Governor Willie Obiano as stressing that Achebe deserves celebration not only in his native Anambra State but also all over Nigeria, Africa and the world as the globally acclaimed “father of African literature.”

Packer s Four Americas
Thumb-Sucker of the Month. Of all I ve read this month, the opinion piece that most got me thinking (although
not, in point of fact, actually sucking my thumb while doing so) was George Packer s Four Americas article in
Atlantic magazine.
Whoa there, Derb. Isn t
Atlantic a lefty outlet, with anti-white word-salad merchant Ta-Nehisi Coates on the masthead? And isn t Packer himself left-progressive?
Yes and yes. Packer s more of an old-line liberal, though (he ll turn 61 in August) and capable of talking sense for quite long stretches before lurching reflexively into mention of the dark energies behind Reaganite conservatism, or the reality of planetary destruction, or how Donald Trump aligned himself publicly with hard-core racists. I took all those quotes from the Four Americas piece; and no, Packer doesn t identify any of those hard-core racists.
