   Nigerian novelist, poet and critic. Lived until 2013.   
      
   He wrote in English.   
      
   "This English, then, which I am using, has witnessed peculiar events in   
   my land that it has never experienced anywhere else. The English   
   language has never been close to Igbo, Hausa, or Yoruba anywhere else in   
   the world. So it has to be different, because these languages and their   
   environment are not inert. They are active, and they are acting on this   
   language which has invaded their territory."   
      
   So Nigerian English. But a very educated NigEng, not Fela Kuti's Pidgin   
   or even Amos Tutuola's indigenized colloquial.   
      
   "...those who can do the work of extending the frontiers of English so   
   as to accommodate African thought patterns must do it through their   
   mastery of English and not out of innocence."
