Chimamanda Adichie Receives Honorary Degree From University Of Edinburgh by pitlaterine(f): 4:51pm On Aug 29, 2017 |
Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been honoured with a Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The award was presented to her at the university’s St Cecilia’s Hall, which happens to be Scotland’s oldest concert hall, by the university’s Principal and Vice Chancellor, Professor Sir Timothy O’Shea, “in recognition of Ms Adichie’s achievements as an author and public intellectual.” After the presentation, she sat down for an interview at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, an event organized in association with the university’s College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences where she said, 'It is lovely to be in this place, which is hallowed. I feel very fortunate to be included among the people who have been honoured with a degree from this University'. http://www.looknaija.com/2017/08/chimamanda-adichie-receives-honorary-degree-university-edinburgh-scotland/ 20 Likes 2 Shares

We teach girls to shrink themselves To make themselves smaller We say to girls, "You can have ambition But not too much You should aim to be successful But not too successful Otherwise you will threaten the man." Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage I am expected to make my life choices Always keeping in mind that Marriage is the most important Now marriage can be a source of Joy and love and mutual support But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage And we don't teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors Not for jobs or for accomplishments Which I think can be a good thing But for the attention of men We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings In the way that boys are Feminist: the person who believes in the social Political, and economic equality of the sexes. Most intelligent feminist i know. One of the few women that really knows what feminism is all about. Not the feminism that disrespects men all in the name of being a feminist. 34 Likes |

She's Nigerian not IPOD Her type will never support Ipod's toxicity and hatred towards other tribes. Na local clowns like Nkem ololoyo and Fayose go support such groups. Hopefully UN can grant those miscreant their landlocked country soon. 6 Likes |
