Good day everyone. Excuse me, I don’t intend to annoy you with my consistency. It’s just that this is urgent and I’d appreciate if you can refer to a potential buyer. Your full commission would be paid. Thank you very much.

That book was boring. They tried to adapt it to a movie and it was even more boring.
I'm waiting to read Uzodinma Iweala's "Beasts of no Nation". The film was awesome.


And yet she wins awards with the book. Are u sure you're not a hater??

Thanks . I read an excerpt from it and said to myself there is nothing special in it.

One thing is if God decides to bless a man, everything you do would be fantastic to the world. Even to your enemies.

She is blessed.

Congrats to her.

Award-winning writer Chimamanda Adichie has won the Women’s Prize ‘Winner of Winners’ in its 25th year history for her fictional novel Half of a Yellow Sun, Igbere TV reports.

The 43-year-old on Thursday shared the good news on Instagram.



https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfkQdcg8BR/?igshid=c3ww7lsk0gkz

Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun won the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2007. The ‘Winner of Winners’ was chosen in a public vote from a list of all 25 winners.

Other authors who have won in the past include Zadie Smith, the late Andrea Levy, Lionel Shriver, Rose Tremain, and Maggie O’Farrell among others.

The award is a one-off one and it is to mark the 25th anniversary of the prize which was formerly known as the Orange Prize.

A statement by the publisher reads, “Throughout 2020, thousands of readers embarked on a challenge to read all 25 previous winners of the Prize, joining the Prize’s digital Book club to share their thoughts, and downloading our newly created online reading guides and exclusive author interviews. Over 8,500 people joined in the public vote in September.”

Adichie will be presented with a specially commissioned silver edition of the prize’s annual statuette known as the ‘Bessie’.
I just remembered when I visited his parent at njikoka LGA of Anambra and they denied me of a photo shoot especially the mother. I asked the mum why don't you want us to have a photo shoot with you, it's just a photograph ma then she said for security reasons, Inside me I laughed, I was like if na guy we drive better ride enter you compound now fear go let you tell am say you no fit enter photo shoot with am? (In my mind tho) Anyhow sha all na the motivation lol......... Congratulations to a great mind.

Congratulations to her

She only did medicine for 1 year before moving out of the country to study Communications and political science.

It's your personal opinion though.

She has the right to live her life the way she wants to, same as you.
