His intentions, good as they well might be, are rooted in an outdated economic model and an infantile view of Nigerians. For him, it seems, patriotism is not a voluntary and flexible thing, with room for dissent, but a martial enterprise: to obey without questioning. Nationalism is not negotiated, but enforced. - Chimamanda Adichie 4 Likes |

Orikinla: Hello, You do not have enough right to criticize Adichie for taking up a nanny when she could have offered her education. We may not know if the nanny of hers, had finished her education before applying for a nannywork after months of failed attempts at obtaining a white collar job in a time of recession and employee sacks. You do not have enough information to judge Chimamanda just yet. The nanny may have studied CATERING in school, may be desperately in need of job, or may even be uninterested in education, if life itself is a choice, how much more education? Even Bill Gates has housekeepers, what stops Adichie from keeping one and paying her a regular salary if she is comfortable with a nannywork? Have you criticized Gates for employing housekeepers? 3 Likes |

[quote author=Angelsss post=50318628]this is why Africa would never go forward...sycophancy has taken over us... It was still this Adichie woman that praised Bihari last year when he won the election, saying GEJ Regime had failed her and everything crappy about GEJ ... She's now speaking against Because her tribes people are being killed.... let's stop this behavior and stand for the truth...we need writers like her and Soyinka to preach to Nigerians to see the light... what has Adichie done to effect moral and social development? apart from loaning us extremism of feminist ideas? what the Fulani' herdsmen are doing is so wrong... but what did you expect when you supported a fanatic?[/qu Chimamanda is indifferent to both GEJ, and PMB.She's writes based on what is happening around her.that she supported Buhari in the past does not mean that when he is wrong he shouldn't be criticised. By the way what have you contributed to the nations besides staying behind your phone to critic a woman that has done so much for herself? 2 Likes |

We all had high hopes when this government came into power, and because she openly expressed support for them does not mean she should keep mute when things are not going as they should in this country. We have all been disappointed by the failure of the Buhari's admininstration to fulfill its campaign promises. She is stating the obvious in her write-up which you should see and not bringing tribal sentiment into this. She is standing for the truth and am sure you are holding this position because you feel those that are killed are not from your region. If you truly believe in one Nigeria, you will see everyone that has been affected by the Fulani herdsmen attack as your brother or sister irrespective of what part of the country they come from. She is using her platform to showcase Nigeria to the western world as she is respected globally for her literary prowess. She preaching feminism is to give credence that women does not belong to the Kitchen, living room and the other room but that they can aspire to great heights as their male folks. So please learn to better appreciate our own in this country. God bless Nigeria Angelsss: 2 Likes |

GoldCircle:I really don't like when people are discussing serious matter, you guys will bring up Jonathan's name. Jonathan, is gone and gone. Allow him his rest. Jonathan and Buhari are not in competition and i am not sure he will ever contest for presidency again in Nigeria. Every little discussion and you bring up Jonathan's name is annoying. 1 Like |

I doubt Chimamanda Adichie wrote this. It looks like a script handed to her by someone. Too one sided, devoid of lots of facts and too much passive statements. What I read about the judges convinced me this is not an honest write up of Chimamanda. |
Re: Adichie Condems Buhari's Govt In Blistering New York Times Op-ed by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:59am On Oct 19, 2016 |
chikenicholas: I will respect a fair and honest criticism. Not a biased view from someone who is a voice of this generation. She talked about the currency challenge like someone who does not know anything about what she talked about. She talked about the President's refusal to listen to Economists and his adherence to pegging the Naira. So failed to explain that after the President adopted a modern Flexible exchange rate, the dollar rose at a faster rate to the naira. This is one clear example of how biased her write-up was and it is disappointing. People look up the Chimamanda Adichie. Before she writes, she should perform a proper research. |

The Department of State Security recently barged into the homes of various judges at midnight, harassing and threatening them and arresting a number of them, because the judges’ lifestyles “suggested” that they were corrupt. This is pathetic from someone who young people see as a role model. How can she for one second attach the arrest of the judges to their lifestyle? I repeat this is a handed script and not a well thought article. Chimamanda Adichie failed to talk about the multiple petitions written to tackle corruption in our judiciary system. She failed to talk about the fact that the DSS contacted the NJC about corrupt judges and the NJC refused to listen. This is another case of how biased and one sided this article is. |

Well I wonder why people are surprised at the state of the country, it was bad that we had a party of rogues for 16 yrs running the affairs of this country, it's worse that we chose a party that has no agenda and a man that is 30yrs past his expiring date to rule us in this modern age and time despite having intellectuals that can do better. we are on a very long thing in this country. |
