LIFE AND HISTORY  OF  ELDER NNAJI NWA NNAJI  (A.K.A. OKANA) (1933-2014) Elder Nnaji nwa Nnaji  was born in the year 1933. He was the eldest of the seven sons of Nnaji nwa Ebe (also called Obaru) and the grandson of Ebe nwa Achi of Umu Uzu nwa Agu family line in Umuodumu, Umuonojah Umulesha Nkalaha. As was the custom for children to be called after their relatives, Nnaji was named after his maternal grandfather, Nnaji nwa Alu of Umuomechime, Amaezegba Nkalaha.

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN COMPUTER EDUCATION AND COMPUTER IN EDUCATION From 1970s onward, there has been increasing awareness of the contributions of computer to the human mechanical efforts.

Considering the magnificent contributions of computers on the human activities generally and knowing that the determination of the proper roles of computers in education must begin with an understanding of the computer itself, the introduction of “computer education” in schools became relatively inevitable. This idea b...

The emergence of Things Fall Apart in 1958, stirred up certain criticism that Achebe’s predecessors did not receive internationally and within. Perhaps because it emerges as a novel from Africa that chooses to tell the story of the author’s world in a way contrary to readers’ preconceived image of Africa. But Achebe’s personal view may not correspond to some of these criticisms. In an interview, Achebe relates that the reason for which he endeavours to tell the story of Okonkwo and Umuofia’s destruction is because, ‘the European invasion resulted in Africans losing their “grip over history”. It also led to their losing “their memory of Africa”, a massive loss since “the past” is all we have’ (Speech, 63). For him, “the story of the people’s strengths and weaknesses must be told as effectively as possible if the people of Nigeria were to achiev...
