Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Turns 42 Today!

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer whose works range from novels to short stories to nonfiction. Adichie, who was born in the city of Enugu in Nigeria, grew up as the fifth of six children in an Igbo family in the university town of Nsukka in Enugu State.

While she was growing up, her father James Nwoye Adichie was a professor of statistics at the University of Nigeria. Her mother Grace Ifeoma was the university's first female registrar.

The family lost almost everything during the Nigerian Civil War, including both maternal and paternal grandfathers. Her family's ancestral village is in Abba in Anambra State.

In 2008, Adichie was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant. She was described in The Times Literary Supplement as "the most prominent" of a "procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors [who] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature". She has written the novels Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), and Americanah (2013), the short story collection The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), and the book-length essay We Should All Be Feminists (2014). Her most recent book, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, was published in March 2017.

"CHIMAMANDA"


One of the beautiful ladies I admire and respect so much.... Beautiful, Smart, Intelligent and Sweet.... I also admire Nse Ikpe Etim and TY Bello.

Unlike some Intellectually barren crop of girls in the Big brother's house.

Live long Chimamanda.

The only writer who has taken strictly after Chinua Achebe.

Congratulations to the feminist who is married and isn't bitter about men.
