Reactions from all side following Chimamanda's Video on land dispute with the Billionaire Auther Eze's Ukpo community.

Chimamanda during the weekend released this video which more or less is just an appeal to our common sense of humanity but in reaction to the video on her verified facebook page, Both Ukpo and Abba indigenes flooded to put up their own perspective of the story while some cast doubts about the Literary giant's fairness. Others hail her doggedness and praise her for getting involved

While the short video by Chimamanda was really touching, There may still be more to be made public from the other side of it.

Adichie was recently honored on the 11th of January 2020 with the first ever Belle van Zuylen Ring – an honorary prize awarded by the International Literature Festival Utrecht (ILFU), Netherlands – for “her contribution to humanity through her literary works and her public engagements which have played huge roles in effecting change and a better understanding of issues such as identity and feminism.”

The Video has an English transcript

I once commented on a post here saying Arthur Eze is one of the people dragging this country backwards... A lot of people here called me a broke jealous afonja.. I read Chimamanda's account on one of the punch newspaper columns and I was shocked how someone can be so wicked. The man grabs innocent people's lands if you oppose him, you get arrested by police. God bless educated elite like Chimamanda that are standing to check the man's lawlessness.one thing Nigerians have failed to realise,most of these rich people no matter the tribe they come from have this corrupt and above the law nature since they can buy the police. Once again, Chimamanda God bless you for standing up for your people, you are the real feminists.... Dead rat griller, FXCK YOU

I don't just know what is with people and lands in Nigeria, Na wao

YHmmmmmmmm

If her people (male folks) were educated such a thing couldn't happen. Arthur isnt educated but he see less educated people in that town who will sell or give up their land for nothing.

Let her go to Arthurs house to protest if she thinks shes a somebody.

Is there anything like fake feminist, or you just want to talk?

Is there a thing as fake feminist, or you just want to talk?

There are narcissistic, hateful women who are men-haters and hide under feminism.

Feminism in its real sense is a very good thing but it has also been poplated by hateful women who try to control men in their life and are unsuccessful so they hide under feminism to say all men are scum.

Arthur Eze is an American trained Engineer !!

And so they're fake feminists? I tire for una.

Hmmmmm... [color=#990000][/color]

Yes, because feminism is not their primary motive.

This is so serious

While Arthur is using his police powers to displace natives, Adizie
is using her pen/camera power.
At the end of the day, the pen is mightier than the sword.

Oh, really? So if you're narcissistic and hateful, you're not fit to be a feminist? Is that so?

Check Arthur's education profile again and correct yourself. I was believing you until the statement made me realise you knew nothing about the case and that the way I saw the news online is the way you saw it too but you started sounding as if you have personally verified truth until the education part.
This is just a pure replica of Nigerians online. Putting mouth in what they knew nothing about. Shior.

Freetoo:
BUY BUYING

Is this grammar intentional or an error?

did you say he's not educated?

Hmmm! Let there be peace

Internal Affairs Department over to you, we are busy dissecting BAT's stand point on Amotekun.

This man again?
Oh well,Nigerians worship rich men irrespective of source of wealth and how humane he is.

The same people from his town will crucify this lady that's fighting for them.

Do they even respect women?
