In a recent interview on Arise TV, acclaimed Nigerian author and feminist icon Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie defended her open letter to US President Joe Biden titled "Nigeria's Hollow Democracy". The letter called out the US for congratulating the winner of Nigeria's controversial presidential election in 2023, despite evidence of manipulation and irregularities.

During the interview, Adichie also took the opportunity to school Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka on the meaning of the word "fascist". She stated that swearing in a person who has not met the requirements of the constitution is akin to ending democracy. She criticized the responses of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters to her article as "funny reading the juvenile fulminations of non-juvenile people."

Adichie's open letter, which was widely shared on social media, expressed the frustrations of many Nigerians with their country's political system. She called on Biden to support the fight for democracy and human rights in Nigeria and to hold the Nigerian government accountable for their actions.

In her letter, Adichie accused the Nigerian government of deliberately manipulating the election and suppressing the opposition. She also criticized the US for their "two-facedness" when it comes to Africa, pointing out that while they condemn election interference in other countries, they fail to do the same in Nigeria.

Adichie's open letter sparked a lot of discussion and debate on social media, with many Nigerians supporting her call for action. Some also criticized her for relying on the US to solve Nigeria's problems, arguing that it was up to Nigerians to fight for their own democracy.

In conclusion, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has once again used her platform to speak truth to power and highlight the issues facing her country. Her open letter to Joe Biden has sparked an important conversation about democracy and human rights in Nigeria, and it remains to be seen if her call for action will be heeded.

Armored Amanda

Gayish Adichie. She can only school her juniors.

Peter Obi himself is very Dubious that is the plain Truth

the Nazi like movement he has unleashed on Nigeria is evidence of his Dubious nature

More is going to come out very soon

A man cannot hide from his Character

How can Someone who couldn’t even produce only just 2 Governor claims he won Elections

APC produced 22 Governors

Peter Obi is a Fraudster go and find out his real background from those who really know him

As far as Chiamanda is Concerned IPOB Terrorists can do no Wrong

My respect for this woman is on another level right now.

The way she responds to questions, the smoothness and confidence. This woman is fire.

Forget who supports who, please respect must be given to whom it's due. She doesn't struggle with words, everything comes out smoothly.....

How can one person be this intelligent? 😭

Should have done the same thing when igbos where been slaughtered and burning police station in the east. She should have written a lengthy letter during endsars too, by now we all know she is not worth the ink she wrote the letter with when it comes to the affairs of Nigeria. Wake me up when she writes emma powerful.

Why didn't she write any letter when her brothers declared sit at home every Monday and when the ungun known men were wrecking havoc in her homeland....a fellow whose father never stood for any political course want to lecturer WS who fought and stood by her people during the civil war.

She is an achiever, but a tribal bigot!

The only people wreaking havoc are fulani herdsmen who ESN has flushed out from SE

No be small lecture...

She made Prof Soyinka look foolish without uttering any insulting word against him..

This lady is ultra-smart...

Cerebral responses and pithy punchlines...

Everybody go soon dey alright

XerXers:

I have forgotten Nnamdi Kanu that's enjoying himself with DSS is a Fulani man from Gombe.
Operation Crocodile smile was a great success!

The younger generation with correct sense keeps retiring the senile old generation.
All the old generation can do is bully and intimidate.
Unfortunately, this digital age of younger generation will not take any BULL from the analogue older generation given to corruption and nepotism.

How can Ngozi Adiche school Soyinka, we joke too much in this country wallai. OP, your caption is senseless and counterproductive.

Adiche who didn't even come to Nigeria to vote for a particular candidate she is seeking cheap public attention by feigning support, is all over condemning the process that made Tinubu president-elect. Someone with conscience wouldn't even start such criticism in the first place.

She think poems or fictitious script can change Nigeria?

But the same Soyinka went to prison for the biafra cause.
