When this poet or novelist was 14 years old, he was one of the boys that were selected to attend the government college at Umuahia, which used to be one of the best schools in West Africa. After some years, in 1948 Chinua Achebe enrolled at a university college which is now known as the Ibadan was a new school for Chinua Achebe.
