Today On BBC News:  Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie says she was surprised to have won the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction, despite being the favourite Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6729435.stm What do u think?  |

"Adichie said she was proud to take on the mantle of Nigerian authors Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka." Isnt it a bit presumptuous, despite her growing popularity? Those 2 are long established writers, she is still a newbie, having busted into the literary scene less than a decade ago. Tread softly, Ms. Adichie, enjoy your new found success while wishing you the best. |

Many congratulations to her !! It is truly refreshing to see a Nigerian receiving international plaudits for excellent work rather than the usual bad news. |
