carzola: She has taught me that's its okay to be smart and ambitious as a lady, that I don't need to dumb myself down so men won't feel too intimidated by me. Only those who have an open mind will be impacted. 1 Like |

Well, just to give one name, my friend Myne White is a much better writer/storyteller than Ngozi Adichie, and she has written more books as well, but she's not as famous. And there are 100s more. O pari Xsem: 1 Like |

Deflorence: I like & respect Adichie not because some foreign, white or non-African person celebrates her but because till date she has not given me any reason not to. I used to respect Okonjo-iweala even more. However, having seen d rot & corruption in d Nigerian economy under her watch, I can not in good conscience still accord her d same respect. I know u ar eager for a hero, but u need to respect people based on d reality of their actions & not because some neo-colonialists accord them respect. U need to purge urself of colonial/inferior mentality. Because a white person celebrates someone does not necessarily mean dat u hav to. Trust in ur own judgement. Assess their actions YOURSELF, not based on other people's assessment. I will continue to treasure Adichie & hopefully, unlike Iweala, she will not giv me reasons not to. |
