carzola:
Washed up FEMINIST....

can never be and will never
be a fan..

what impact has she had to the youths of Nigeria??

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.

Nigerian renowned Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was a celebrity guest at the Edinburgh International Film Festival where she opened up on her sensational new book, “Dear Ijeawele,” her feminism campaign and more.

A Scottish Newspaper, scotsman.com reported that she was honoured with a standing ovation when the Audience set their eyes on her.

The Newspaper wrote: "Edinburgh being the city it is, standing ovations are rare even at its Book Festival, and handed out as sparingly as its university doles out honorary degrees. So when, at 10:45pm on Saturday night, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s audience stood to applaud her, at the end of a day on which she’d been made an honorary DLitt, it was a rare double indeed."

The current First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National Party, Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon who has been in office since November 2014, a faithful fan of Chimamanda had session of interaction with the Iconic writer.

According to scotsman.com, the conversation was warm as it "flowed effortlessly from American racism (“I wasn’t black until I went to the US”) to – naturally – Donald Trump, then historical fiction, the importance of reading, and of ending the stigma of mental illness (Adichie suffers from depression), not least in Nigeria. Wise, witty and wonderful, Adichie deserved that standing ovation."

Her session was held on the same day she was awarded an honorary degree by Edinburgh University

You got it wrong. It was at a BOOK festival, not FILM festival

IamaNigerianGuy:


She is grossly overrated by these westerners maybe because there is so little talent coming out of Nigeria.

I Concur 100%.
She a Hypocrite,She complains about racism but still makes the west her home.

maskid:


Lol, this guy is a complete fool. Like u didnt get the message and the sarcasm, . its official bro. YOU ARE RETARD3D#!!!

I couldn't believe it either! Like water off a duck's back! Oh Nairaland!!

I don't care if you are Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa so far as you stand for the right thing. Then I am proud of you.
Proudly Nigerian

okekekelechib:
That's our IGBO Sister... Afonjas keep off.. We are d best.. Igbo kwenu.

Yes you are proud of her....But I can bet she will not be proud of you with this your comment....

wisdom is profitable to the wise......apply wisdom in your life......cos this your Afonja hatred will profit you nothing and your God in heaven is definitely not smiling at you for it

She suffers from depression too? She's mentally ill .

Little yam legs

I'm not her fan. She lies .

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:

Examples of the better authors?

God bless you for this.


Datribune, this is for you.
Another WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE.

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.

Shortyy:

Which bleaching cream company? Boy GTFOH silly human. Any light skin chic is bleaching to you mofos.
Anyways that's BTW, she doesn't know me, but I strife to be successful like her. But you on the other hand is here with your 10mb data posting trash about a woman who can get your out of your misery!
You'll eventually die of hate, and chimanda won't even know that a certain dumb carzola from nairaland died because of his hate for her.
Keep hating!.
Anu ofia. nkapi

Lol shorty, are you really female? Cause this your comments ehn they are too hard, rugged comments. Kai this is too much o
