She has Yoruba roots. Her Dad’s Dad was a Yoruba before they relocate to the east.

People should knows there history before claiming what they does not knows.

Proudly Yoruba woman
Her father is Igbo. We don't need all these Yoruba-Igbo thing. Better leave all these small village Igbo boys who come here to make noise every time. Exposed Igbos/Yoruba won't come to NL shouting all the time. Let the immature ones continue making noise.

It is very unfortunate that you had to dignify that nonsense with a response.

When will you people ever learn that no tribe is better than the other.


Later y'all will be screaming buhari up and down not knowing that it is this same tribal mentality that's the root of our problems here in Nigeria.

I honestly can't blame her. She is more accomplished than most men and probably more intelligent too , so she sees no rational reason for patriarchy.

She has earned her right to yap about feminism in my opinion.

The problem now is, when chew gum girls depending on their boyfriends for most things, in exchange for their warm little hole ,are also yapping about feminism.

That is just infuriating

She has earned the right to point out the archaic patriarchal views that exist in our society. She works , earns way more than her husband and yet does not make a song and dance about it( unlike some women) see it takes a special type of man to appreciate a mind like hers. She is free to speak her mind and you are entitled to disagree both perfectly acceptable.

The day I came to fully respect her was when I listened to her TEd talk on the dangers of a single story.
Absolutely brilliant presentation.

And also much recently, when she called out the French government about their policies in francophone Africa .
She was in a literary meeting in Paris, where she disgraced politely, an ignorant journalist who asked if they were libraries in Nigeria, and then tore into the French govt about their francophone African policies, and with a French minister in attendance.
The minister got up and left in annoyance and she just smiled and continued.

Those two events have made me respect her truly. And both videos are on YouTube.

There is no queen bey. There is a queen chimamanda.

It is not true. We Yorubas are the most sophisticated tribe in Nigeria, even Africa. What do you know?

She is won every award in sight including the Commonwealth.

Inducted into the prestigious American academy of arts.

The next big thing for her is going to be the Nobel. She is getting very close.
I am sure she will dedicate it to her mentor, chinua Achebe.

She can't win the Nobel Prize. Popularity does not fetch one the Nobel Prize.

And moreover, she has to try and win a Booker Prize first as it seems like those who win a Booker Prize always end up winning the Nobel Prize.

Popularity does not get you a Nobel, but brilliance will.

Her works are brilliant. That is why she is winning these awards.
She will win the Booker. It is only a matter of time.
