He also was a teacher at a local school in Oba. However, his breakthrough came in 1954, and he landed a job at the Nigerian Broadcasting Company, Lagos (Ezenwa-Ohaeto 45).

In the Nigeria Civil War that was between 1967 and 1970, Achebe held the position of ambassador for the government, and at this time he backed the Biafra struggle. After the end of the struggle, Achebe joined the African Studies Department in Nsukka at the University of Nigeria. Starting the 1950’s, Achebe was the leading head of a literary movement in Nigeria that focused on the oral traditions of the indigenous tribes of Nigeria. Things Fall Apart written in 1958 was Achebe’s first novel, and it was subsequently translated into approximately 45 languages world-wide. Achebe wrote more novels. No longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (1964) and A Man of the People (1966), and all these were well received in the literature world. Many novels followed after this period, and they catapulted him into international stardom. He has received very many honorary degrees from various academic institutions around the world. For example, in 1987, the Nigerian Education ministry honored Achebe with the highest award for intellectual achievement (Carrol 56). In 1971, Achebe was made editor of Okike, a Nigerian literary magazine. In 1984, Achebe founded Iwa ndi Ibo,a bilingual publication that discussed the cultural life of the Igbo. Later in 1985, he was made Emeritus Professor of the University of Nigeria. TYo date, he has taught in various universities and colleges in Nigeria and the USA. Achebe has taught at the University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts and Bard College. He currently lives in the United States of America with his family. Achebe’s works, Influences and style Chinua Achebe is one of the most famous contemporary African writers, along with literary writers like Wole Soyinka of Nigeria and Ngugi Wa Thiong’o of Kenya. Although Achebe writes in English, his writings analyze indigenous African cultures in his native Nigeria, and he lambastes modern culture by asserting that modern culture has affected African cultures (Carrol 78). Achebe was born in the colonial period, a time when Nigeria was being colonized by the British. Therefore, his interest in writing was influenced by this atmosphere. From his childhood, noticed that European culture had changed the manner in which the African society operated. As a result of this, he started writing literature that explored the impact on these European cultures on the African society. Being born in a rural part of Nigeria also influenced his writing. Born in Ogidi, Igboland, Eastern Nigeria, Achebe was brought up with a mixture of colonial legacy and Igbo indigenous cultures. His ironic and unsentimental books often portray the speech and traditions of his Ibo people. Achebe’s first novel, Things Fall Apart (1958) was written after Achebe felt that British authors were portraying the Africa and Africans inaccurately. This literary work describes the coming of colonialists and missionaries in late 1800’s, and the effect that this had on the indigenous African societies in Nigeria. When he wrote this novel, he was working for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).
