Chimamanda Adichie by ifeomabr: 6:58pm On Jan 21, 2017
Hello.
I've just read Chimamanda Adichie's books and I am in awe!
I've noticed that she uses igbo expressions throughout the texts, and I was curious about her book dedications.
In Purple Hibiscus, she says "my parents, my heroes, Ndi o ga-adili mma"
Could someone please tell me what that means in English?!?!?! undecided
