Nice perspective.
I think you are definitely blinded.

What i find most ironical about her style of write up is thatshe writes in a way that alienates the rest of the world,a style only a naija born can relate to.

And she is particularly fond of "university staff kid life stories"which i can relate to by the way.
But i wonder,how do the international community give her the awards when they can barely relate to her perspective...
That girl juju strong.......lol

How do you read Willams Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, JRR Toikien and co and understand them?

Why and how is it different from Chiamanda Adichie?

The english culture is a universally accepted culture.
The nigerian way of life is much narrowed.
So i find it hard to believe that they gully grasp it.
Her works personally to me are not worth the hype.
Something about her just stands her out.
We igbos call it "Chi oma" . "Good fortune"
.she is ok but nothing in her writeups merit the intl acclaims.

I don't think there is anything to be proud of. For all intents and purposes, Chimamanda is an American. It's almost like saying you are proud of Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes).

Hi... You should watch Uzo Aduba's interview on the Ellen DeGeneres show ... You'd be proud too.

I read Purple Hibiscus and it was alright. Started Half of a Yellow Sun and couldn't continue, I finished Americanah and wanted to strangle everyone who thought it "good"! It was pure shite! Terrible storyline with zero social impact to an actual Nigerian, horrible values being promoted and just a detestable lead character. I was thoroughly disappointed with the lead.
my experience is no different from yours. she imbibed the western culture into the story as though it was our normal way of life.I just couldn't relate and the end was purely terrible same ideology in the thing around your neck.I agree it was no good read at all

This season made me cry my eyes out...wait till you get to episode 12 then you'll understand.

Oh dear! I also cried last night after watching it(nobody saw me tho') ! My eyes are still watery now and I've been thinking about it through out today. This season was so sorrowful, far darker and chilling than the other seasons.
RIP poussey.
Can't wait for next season.
