muktarl: Anambra Ibos are of different species. First it was Achebe and now its Adichie. Congrats Ngozi.you try!! The tribalist/Racist: its bad enough that everything in Nigeria belongs to a particular ethnic group, you my friend are not just satisfied with claiming she's ibo and not Nigerian. But you have to go ahead and just claim her for the anambarians alone. Well done! Oya clap for yourself. 5 Likes |

The book is a best seller ,won awards and now a movie It is a tremendous success a knock out for decades to come Made her a household name The world knows Chimamanda while you are just an insignificant ,fly by night,unknown,gender-less moniker on a local website Obviously it wasn't meant for blockheads and nonentities 15 Likes |
