Hardwork Pays. This Girl Inspires Me.

Mr Man this your "tho" line is fast becoming a cliche in Nairaland. If you don't have what to say, just don't comment. Read comments and exit the post; don't make it an obligation to say something, then end up typing some nonsense.

Chibwike Tho

hahahahaha....like seriously?.

Weldone 4 d hardwrk!but i thnk her wrks are ovarated like purple hibiscus!but keep it up...amanda

Brightology2:

Utuoke kor. She's from Anambra but grew up in Enugu.

ojokojonwanyi:




She's married.

Na you marry her abi?...

Anyway, the book was faantastic, held me spellbound for hours. The part I love most was how ceiling fucke.d ifemelu :* and her funn blogs.. Lwkmd

preshuzpearl:
I wish her the best.

I develop goose pimples all over whenever I hear about Chimamanda. She's so successful in what she does even though I don't really like her books.

I love the fact that she brings out the best descriptions and knows exactly what her readers want.

Looking forward to watching the movie.

If her books were as good as you just described, why don't you then like them?

uzolexis:

I hope it'll be nothing like the movie adaptation of "half of a yellow sun" cause that movie was awful, spoilt the book for me cause i really loved that book. Americanah is also a wonderful story and i expect nothing short of the best from Lupita.....so i'm looking forward to this movie.

The censored adaptation?

Ishilove:

You're younger than I thought.

In the thirties....early.

Thank you for educating Mr Dayosurus

kennygee:


Hope The Nigerian Film and Videos Censors Board doesn't mess it up like they did "Half of a Yellow sun"

It would have been nice to see the Original Version before the whole Censorship thing came up.

exactly!! They ' shattered' half of a yellow sun for me. I hope they dont do the same to Americanah... I will be so heartbroken.

They're kind of boring. I love seeing action in every page of any book I read. But hers? She uses 3 paragraphs to describe the palm trees and ancient market. I find myself jumping lines and I don't like doing that.

lupita nyong is going to mess up that movie

DoctorTim:
Chimamanda.. Chimamanda... Chimamanda!!! how many times did I call u? Come to Nigeria and marry before u make too much money and forget your roots. This americanah people like u too much. Come home

Mr Otueke She's married.

Lupita Nyong'o is set to reteam with Brad Pitt's Plan B production company on the drama 'Americanah'.

Plan B, which produced 12 Years a Slave, has acquired big-screen rights to the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie-penned novel and will produce alongside D2 Prods. and Potboiler Prods. (The Last King of Scotland, Generation Kill).

Lupita Nyong'o, who won the best supporting
actress prize in March for her turn in Steve
McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, is set for a lead
role in Americanah, and will also produce it.

"It is such an honour to have the opportunity
to bring Ms Adichie's brilliant book to the
screen," Nyong'o said. "Page after page, I
was struck by Ifemelu and Obinze's stories,
whose experiences as African immigrants are
so specific and also so imminently relatable.
It is a thrilling challenge to tell a truly
international story so full of love, humour
and heart."

Americanah is the epic love story of young Nigerians, a romance that spans continents, visas, phone cards and breakups, while exploring the cruelties and the humor of both the modern immigrant experience and the difficulty of finding your way home. The novel was the winner of the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction and was selected as one of the 10 best books of the year byThe New York Times Book Review, the BBC andNewsday.

Adichie is the MacArthur Fellowship-winning author of the novels Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, the film adaptation of which recently premiered in the United Kingdom and Nigeria.

Igbos representing Nigeria since time immemorial

Hmmm... Nice... Although I think Americanah had more volume than any real substance. Looks like something written to massage the black woman's ego.

Chimamanda impresses me everyday. Perhaps, what I am most impressed by is her rejection of the Otueke shoeless man in power. We will speak with one voice come 2015!

-CramJones

So, if she didn't 'reject' him, she would not impress you, right? I am sure you have not even read any of her books.

I don't understand why good books are being adapted into movies! It's impossible to act out a really good book in less than two hours of movies. Movie adaptation condescends original literary work. Good readers would understand what am trying to say.

This is what defines a good book!

Adichie don hammer! Congrats girl!

She is not supporting mullah buhari either.

She is my crush.
My only problem is that Lupita should not play the role of ifemelu as she doesn't fully match the full description of Ifemelu.

You are not a patient person and that makes you a non book lover.
In a book,every word,sentence,paragraph and page counts.
You should be watching movies or something that can give you a quick fix.

So dey frustrated half of a yellow sun God I luv dat book like hell n thr was sumfin I picked out wch tlk abt our Atlas whr all wstern continents ws put ontop of african continent" n on too d main stuff damn nigerians r too sentimental Obj released a book nody condemned it cos it discuss abt gej largely all I jess want 2 say baba is far worse n neva in d bset positn 2 criticise anybody.

Really? We're in the same age group. And here I was always calling you 'sir'.
