James Nwoye Adichie, father of renowned writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, will be laid to rest in Abba, Njikoka LGA of Anambra State on Friday, 9th October, 2020, after a requiem mass at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Abba.

The statement added that other funeral rites will be observed while observing COVID-19 protocols.

Professor Adichie received his PhD in statistics from the University of California-Berkeley, and went on to become Nigeria’s first professor of statistics in 1976, with his dedicated life’s work done at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he was named professor emeritus in 2016.

Upon his retirement, he lived in his hometown, Abba, Njikoka Local Government Area, Anambra State, where he held the prestigious traditional title of “Odelu ora” Abba.

  1. I think that what you posted was very logical. However, think about this,
    suppose you were to create a killer headline? I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid,
    but what if you added a post title to maybe
    grab folk’s attention? I mean Chimamanda Adichie's family
    announces burial arrangement for their father, Prof.

    is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to grab people to click.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture
    or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.
