[quote author=gentlezypher post=67889906]why so much hate? Do you have any published work to your name?[/quot
Even if I have, will that make Nigeria a developed country?

[quote author=sangresan post=67890137][/quote]atleast there will be base to your argument

gentlezypher:
atleast there will be base to your argument

May be you can't read and digest then.

SouthEastFacts:

Don't worry Afonja.

Definitely, she would.

BTW, she had written better stories than that cultist.

Don't compare the cultist with a feminist!


Recipe to live long!

SouthEastFacts:

Do you know you just finished that guy?

Ishowdotgmail sorry ooh. In your next life, don't be a hateful soul.

Ipob youths are dumb na

Eagba:
don't mind him joor, he sees you as a fool. I see you as an idiot

Wasted ipob generation

after they will tell us it's buhari

Let me go n buy a good TECHNO smart phone so that i can watch this speech. I love this woman, even her error r forgiven before they r commited

I am so proud of this woman than even Igbo people. NATURAL Beauty and brain. No be all these make ups, bleaching and fake wigs.

sangresan:


See dindinrin....Manufacturing blah blah blah

So, where is the manufacturing being done in Africa? You are using a phone or computer that's most likely not made or invented in Africa and you are blabbing about advanced countries leaving manufacturing to your "5th-world" countries.

And what has that got to do with your aunty giving a speech in America?

We have writers and artists in Africa. dem plenty.

What we don't have are inventors.....Forget about speech-making which adds no value to anything in Africa.

What is this one even saying?

Countries are moving away from manufacturing to service and knowledge-based economy

Now, decode how this got to do with her giving a speech.

She didn't give that speech because she is Adichie, but because of her writings.

Clap for yourself Mr Knowledge-based.

So, writing fiction is what knowledge-based economies do?

You people won't stop being ridiculous.

My good sister WE anambra people are moving higher than other
Good job My dearest sister

Knowledge based economies are all rounders.

They have the best arts and the best science.

Most of the box breaking movies and series that made billions in America were adapted from books.

Have you heard of Mark Twain and Tolstoy. ?
They are revered today for their literature.

lol....Read what you wrote...Adapting books for films can be done even in the most backward country....This is not what knowledge-based economy is all about.

Film making is both art and science...3rd world countries have mastered the art...But the scientific aspect is where we are lacking...Or are we producing cameras or music equipment here?

If you don't know that knowledge-based economy has to do with scientific research and technological innovations, then you are probably just arguing for nothing sake.

Anyway, I won't reply any of you again.

Kudos to Adichie for her recognition.

Progressive my foot..... Gerrout of herep

ozoebuka1:
Afonjas already displaying their jealousy all over the thread with "she's not the first"

Must you generalize?
