Chinua Achebe Quotes

Ife Onye Metalu' ['what A Man Commits'] - A Statement Unclear And Menacing In Its Very Inconclusiveness. What A Man Commits ... Follows Him? Comes Back To Take Its Toll? Was That All? No, That Was Only Part Of It ... The Real Burden Of That Cryptic Scripture Seemed To Turn The Matter Right Around. Whatever We See Following A Man, Whatever Fate Comes To Take Its Revenge On Him, Can Only Be What That Man In Some Way Or Another, In A Previous Life If Not In This, Has Committed. That Was It! So Those Three Words Wrapped In An Archaic Tongue And Tucked Away At The Tail Of The Bus Turn Out To Be The Opening Segment Of A Full-blooded Heathen Antiphony Offering A Primitive And Quite Deadly Exposition Of Suffering. The Guilty Suffers; The Sufferer Is Guilty. As For The Righteous, Those Whose Arms Are Straight, They Will Always Prosper!
