Written on 25th March 2013. The great Chinua Achebe died on 21st March 2013. While commenting on a tribute to Chinua Achebe by one of the greatest contemporary African poets (name withheld), this pathetic loser – one of the teeming number of “educated illiterates” who have taken it upon themselves to hate the Igbo Nation out of envy for their many bold successes and doggedness – decided to compose a poem intended to deride and insult Achebe in particular, and the Igbo Nation in general. His grouse this time was Achebe’s comments about late Chief Obafemi Awolowo in his then recently published book: There was a Country: A personal History of Biafra. “Song of Mediocrity” was a simple response to the poem by this very charlatan.
