Igbo people knew no kings

I find it hard to quote Chinua Achebe because most of what he wrote is public. It is not a literary genius work but a sieve and characterisation of the common African rich moral system. To call him the African Literature King is to sideline him from his people if not to blow his trumpet which a wise man will refuse.

The coming of Kings- Europeans- is known as the genesis of African disentegration and the adoption of tribe as a boundary. People who lived at a certain locality, with little knowledge of the outside world tend to view themselves as a nation where all were kinsmen and entitled to equal benefits through a representative council of elders. This is supported by Achebe. 

So when I see a peer in campus hungry for power I get nuts. He is too greedy for life. When I see the inequality in Kenya I swallow bitterly. Things are hard. But can I live a sad life?
