Baba,

Thank so very much for this paper.  It is very well argued and I like your
interpretation of Achebe's Things Fall Apart as a counter narrative to the
lie of the colonialist story about Africa and Africans.  Indeed you
reiterate the warning about THE DANGERS OF THE SINGLE STORY.

Keep it up!

Best,

Mboge
