Vickybee:

See painment.

Where did I wrote [/b]that I have qualm with men on this thread?

FYI, I'm still in 200level and Chimamanda father also sponsored her abroad.

Ishilove:

Seriously?

These big big grammar is completely unnecessary

almostFamous:
Lol

FrancisTony:

What's this one saying?

hifaif:


Where did I WRITE, not WROTE.

Chimamanda's father, not Chimamanda father.

I have "a" qualm or I have qualms, not, I have qualm

phoinix:


My friend, infamous can not quality ubiquity, its not all about consuming a dictionary, but about having a clear understanding of words and how they work together.

Vickybee:

Other way round.

You guys aren't in a class with my handbag not to talk about breaking my heart.

tchidi:
First of all, Elnathan can do no wrong in my eyes...

Chimamanda, be careful!

SpencerLewis:

Keep pretending as if u don't care about men until u hit 35 and above without any. U become sober, religious, prayerful/fasting and and a regular member of single/married church sessions.
We know ur type. Chimamanda is happily married now if u don't know

Vickybee:
My big time role model.

One, out of many things that's synonymous with both of us is that we fear no man.

Vickybee:

What of females that have been enduring insults thrown to them by their oga?

hifaif:


You are the philistine. Adichie is good but not to be compared with the masters yet.

Personally, I find Bulawayo and KS Sello Duiker far better than she is.

TheSonOfMark:


Well, ma'am, this is the way I type. I know it makes people erroneously assume I'm showing off but with time they get used to it.

P.S: What's the point of learning new words when it doesn't reflect in one's typo-eloquence?

Ishilove:

Your opinion, which you're entitled to

elobyobi:
The painful part of all this is that Chimamanda goes home every night to cook for her husband a wonderful dinner, and he makes sweet love to her thereafter. While other women in third-world Nigeria whose situation she only relates to by proxy, go about assuming they can, and must, stand up to every man they come across. I believe in equality, but I also believe in humility. From both sexes. A balance between contentment and the drive for self-improvement and empowerment. Adichie has achieved this balance in her professional and personal (risky assumption by the way, who knows what goes on in the husband's mind?) life, but keeps delivering a one-sided message to other women. When people say "religion is the opium of the masses" the often forget that religion was birthed and is sustained by literature. And stalwarts of literature have the same powers and responsibilities as people of the cloth - to create balance. That is one thing Chimamanda has failed in.
And woe unto the women that blindly follow this new ideology, this movement, this Chimamandism. One thing remains true: you can't cheat nature.

TheSonOfMark:


A 200 level student whose command of the English language is this poor? How on God's green earth were you offered admission?

Joe82834:

Tanx.good one.probably be doing a name swap or remodelling soon.lol. pls which course did u study

hifaif:


She got it through the back door. Our education system is in a shambles.

repogirl:
I'm guessing you live in the same house with her to know that she cooks for.her hubby and they make love later.

What makes you believe she doesn't practice what she goes on about all the time? Are you saying she is a fraud? What gives you the right to even make this sort of conclusion on her behalf?

Chimamanda to me always comes off as an 'I too know', she forms an opinion of something and that's the right thing, anything else is wrong. She is quick to speak without considering what she says might come off as offensive or not entirely truthful or properly researched.

She is a hopeless cynic and proud also, probably because of her achievements, she needs to take care with her approach and most importantly her words and should just stop being a 'know it all' already.

Elnathan might have been wrong but she sort of pushed him to it, I don't care how she explains it here but she had it coming. I read that whole article on her disagreement with the caine's writers prize thingy and could clearly see her pride and cynicism in it's full glory.

Anyway, why do I care sef?

eyinjuege:


She's actually quite really really good. The way she plays with words keeps one enthralled.
She's also proven herself to the world. She can hold her own.

hifaif:


Where did I WRITE, not WROTE.

Chimamanda's father, not Chimamanda father.

I have "a" qualm or I have qualms, not, I have qualm

hifaif:


Yes, my opinion.

But it is an insult to compare her with the masters. Adichie still struggles in the leagues of writers like Kan and co. She is good but she has more of luck working with very renowned agents unlike people like Babatunde and others. Adichie has never won the Caine prize. She is lucky to be with the right people. She would easily struggle in literary contests with folks like Bulawayo and Omotoso for instance.

It is an insult to compare her with Soyinka, Achebe and Ekwensi. Maybe one day she might be as good. But presently, she is nowhere near their league.

patwilly:

hahahahahha. You forget you're talking to a sophomore student who probably still has a GST course she failed to write. Foolish girl. I wanted to respond to her but then I saw she wasn't quite as intelligent as I pegged her initially. Did you detect the whiny little girl tone in her last response before you quoted her? lil prissy obviously needs to get a proper education first.lol.
