What a stupid and senseless article. I am a card carrying member of PDP but it does not make me lose my sense of rationality to support the odious fascist Donald Trump and what he stands for. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

My own is that adichie should channel her voice to Nigeria her own country where she obtained her first degree,a lot of ill is going on here in Nigeria n she is busy lamenting on people that are far above Nigeria.charity they say should start from home not abroad.she is nt making any sense as long as iam concern. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

DarkRebel69:exactly. I don't care as much for Chimanda's message as I do her method of passing it and I was honestly underwhelmed by the write-up....it was too easy, lacked suspense and I dare say, it had moments of WTF For instance, the part where Mrs. T innocently asked if Janelle's son got a scholarship, the way Janelle flared up was uncalled for, unprofessional and highly unrealistic to be honest. I've imagined that scene over and over again in my head and I don't see how or why an innocent question would lead to such a reaction if the reactor (Janelle) didn't suffer some level of inferiority complex. It was highly underwhelming and easily her poorest work 8 Likes 2 Shares |

That piece from Chimamanda was so repulsive. She's keying into the lunatic, liberal backlash since 11/9 when their enthroned, entitled candidate lost. And to think her country is mostly a sh*t hole? About time someone put her in her place. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Chimamanda is a deranged feminist who think she can say anything she want...I cant wait for US to deport that ffucking slowpoke. This girl actually think she is important just because the liberal Americans are feeding into her shitty writing. She worships Obama that killed Murman Ghadafi but hates Trump that told black Africa the truth they hate to hear,which is go fix your rotten country.

Op, you are not a Nigerian woman. I might be wrong here, but judging by the (m) next to your moniker, I am concluding that you are a man. So, if you feel shamed by Adichie's latest flurry of words that have been deemed worthy of being published in The New York Times, you can do so as a Nigerian man. Don't say that she is a disgrace to Nigerian women. Speaking for myself (which is all anyone can do without being endorsed by a larger group to speak for a collection of people) I don't feel disgraced in the slightest. Of course, I know what this is about, your constant need to silence women who are vocal on matters you don't agree with. Chimamanda Adichie has become less popular, especially amongst men, for unapologetically identifying herself as a feminist. You talk about core Nigerian values - the 'culture of respect and integrity' Really? Where in our society is that culture evident? In our malicious treatment of our fellow men, hacking human bodies into tiny portions because they don't speak our language or call God by the same name? In the blatant embezzlement of public funds by public office holders and the blind eye of the judiciary? If you are a Nigerian, I don't have to tell you of the ills bedeviling our society; but I will say that it isn't a culture of respect and integrity that has made them thrive. Nigeria is far from being a saintly country. And not every Nigerian identifies with the image the country upholds publicly. It's like that in every country. That's why we have the occasional heated conversations, demonstration on the streets, or merely, disgruntled individuals. It is impossible to have a homogeneity of opinions amongst 170m people. Personally, I have my own ideas about liberalism; and just because they are different from yours, doesn't make them evil. And yours are not going to be superior in my eyes; in fact, I consider your views to be unenlightened and giant steps behind in time. But that's my opinion. A difference in opinions and personal values is a legitimate thing. And lastly, how dare you define for someone else the battles that they should fight? Chimamanda should leave the racism in a country where she spends a significant part of her time to fight our own issues here in this country? Who are you tell her what cause ought to affect her life more? Did you recruit her to do anything for you? 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Chimamanda Adichie knows how to blow plenty grammar but her works are always devoid of morality. In her book, "Americanah" , Ifemelu the lead character slept with 5 men and ended up destroying another person's marriage. Sometimes I still wonder why I wasted my precious time on that book. Well, I learnt some new english words. The book should have been 2 different books..1, about racism in America and 2, about the flirtatious woman who returned to Nigeria to destroy the marriage of her first love. Nonsense 6 Likes |

I'm neither here nor there, I only agree with her assertions that Melanie seems like a reluctant first lady. I've always remarked that she is too careful, too poised and controlled. She calculates even how she walks and waves and darnit, smile. Probably out of fear of making a simple mistake and being eaten by the merciless press. Heck! She should loosen up and enjoy her reign. 6 Likes |

SSBN is talking out of unnecessary hate and sentiment. Do you really think adichie has not done more for nigeria? Think again, Amanda's half-of-a-yellow-sun is among the creations targeted at exposing the hidden history of nigeria directly rather than otherwise.

zoombies everywhere, how can you just call someone racist without proof. I rather mingle or marry a white lady than all this fools. Majority of Nigerian professionals (straights) with US passport vote trump while fools on 2years visit visa running from pillar to post start are shouting he is racist. For your ignorant minds 42% of blacks voted President Trump. Only a zoombie will be shouting racist while unemployment, slow economy that does not respect race pounce on you. 10 Likes |

She's a hypocrite, a feminist demon who had planted into the minds of our young ladies feminism and because of their strong believe, they have remained single dragging for equal right amongst men. Obviously no man will like to bring in another "man" in woman's appearance in his territory to compete power and authority with him. Funny enough, she's happily married. The mofo now has resorted to criticising Donald Trump whose govt has zero tolerance for gay community because she supports gays while she's sexually straight. Is she not a hypocrite. She preaches something but does another thing 4 Likes |
