Can't read any of her books. Wasted my time reading half-way of Half of a Yellow Sun. A Biafran apologist like her mentor Chinua Achebe.

you try!! The tribalist/Racist: its bad enough that everything in Nigeria belongs to a particular ethnic group, you my friend are not just satisfied with claiming she's ibo and not Nigerian. But you have to go ahead and just claim her for the anambarians alone. Well done! Oya clap for yourself.

Loser!

The book is a best seller ,won awards and now a movie
It is a tremendous success
a knock out for decades to come
Made her a household name
The world knows Chimamanda while you are just an insignificant ,fly by night,unknown,gender-less moniker on a local website
Obviously it wasn't meant for blockheads and nonentities
