My gut feeling has moved to disliking her. She's being given more attention than she deserves by the nigerian press. She's not the only nigerian author. Other Nigerian authors have won more prestigious literary awards than her. Winning the greatest literary award doesn't make you authority over any other subject but the one you know. We have suffered enough mumuness inthis country. I started to see her true self when she commented on Achebe's ill-informed, prejudiced last book. My view on her has subsequently been confirmed by me: she's the younger version of Achebe, all with ethnic bias 2 Likes |

Note that she's safely in America and taking positions which don't cause her any headache with her kith and kin. To my knowledge, she's won Orange Prize. Ben Okri won Booker Prize and he's so quiet most Nigerians don't know him. If Achebe, Soyinka, let alone Chimamanda were not African, hardly would anyone hear of them. They were "great" as Africans. Hope you know when Soyinka was given the Nobel, it was a choice between himself and Achebe. In other words, it had been "zoned" to Africa and maybe Nigeria. Achebe's book sold 10 million which was "wonderful" by African authors' standards, absolutely nothing to world standards. I'm not dissing anybody. I've not achieved anything in my life, but I look at things from a world point of view, not a narrow one, like tribe, country, continent, race etc. That's why people attack me for my criticism of Nigeria, Africa and black man 2 Likes |

After reading this thread my opinion ain't even on the article but rather the comments. It took me less than 10 mins to read the entire article and some people are screaming too long to read. Jesus Christ is this the future we are looking at. How many words are in that article that you only have to relax and read, if told to produce your own presentation what will you now do. God help us. 8 Likes |

Great write up. She addressed the main issues GEJ needs to focus on. Also love the way humour was infused to the whole story to make it sound not so offensive to Oga Jona. All those criticizing her should take a chill pill. This is what God has given us talents for-to make an impact in our generation. She's channeling her creativity to a just cause and I'm pretty sure GEJ will get to read and learn one or two things from this story. May God grant me a wife this brilliant 7 Likes |

kobonaire: I share your optimism but I think your goals may be far fetched. I personally believe we should first aim for stable electricity and good clean water availability first.Nigerians have been generating their own electricity and providing their own pipe bore water individually without Government. Now, imagine what we could all achieve collectively? We have the abundant resources and manpower to match. With these, you will agree with me that we should be robbing it off with the likes of Russian and USA and not struggling with govt promising to construct roads and build fourth mainland and second niger bridges! Our corrupt leaders only make it appear far fetched but in reality it is within reach. 1 Like |
