Lol i knew it, I knew that chieftaincy title was only a stunt for her feminism.

she is a great woman who has already achieved more than any man in her community... She has everyone's respect in her community and around the world. But going for men's traditional title was a huge turn off for me.
What happened to promoting the already existing female titleship in Igbo land? Lol dear feminists... You don't have to pee standing like a man to be really great.
You see that everywhere, in sports(female referees in men tournaments) in the entertainment, in politics and now in tradition?

Lol...

I got an idea my dear equality warriors and feminists: instead of trying way too hard to switch from y'all lane to men's lane... Why not use that same energy to make yall own lane so great that even men would start to envy?

This funny girl.
Being a known writer does not equal chiefdom.
It's sad but this can only happen in Iboland. I'm ibo, though.
She's earned her dues alright so far as the written word goes but, what societal building values does she espouse?
Adichie is anti family.
This girl believes in same sex marriage, hates the Vatican and much more.
The traditional family unit as created by God made up of the man and woman is central to the basic Ibo family as the primary bulwark upon which the progressive society rests.
So, the traditional ibo family units made up of normal man heads and women mothers came together and gave her a chieftaincy title?
A lot of people are blind in present times, really.

Congratulations to her, anyway,for taking her Village Chieftaincy titles but rejected a Nigeria National Title is what is still not clear!
Since she is an American by adoption but Nigeria by root is welcomed.
We missed the Virtues of the Prof.Akinyuli,the Gani Fawehinmi,the Justice Oputas,the Agudas,etc.
Patrotism,Love and Accomodation of others and brutal Truth to Ourselves should be acceptable to all Nigerians as Panacea for Peaceful co-existence in our Country!

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advocated for a culture that celebrates men and women alike, IGBERETV reports.

The celebrated writer who was recently made a Chief in her hometown, Abba, Anambra State, and given the title of "Odeluwa" said this on Instagram while sharing a video from her conferment ceremony.

She wrote:

I asked this once and I'm going to ask again. When did women start receiving chieftancy titles in my state? Nonsense and foolery if you ask me, I see nothing to celebrate here, just the bastardization of a fine tradition is what it is.

This woman is confused, she was just recognized as a good writer not a chieftaincy title.

She has deceived so many girls claiming useless feminist. Making them unmarried while she is married and comes from a rich family.

Nice one.. I will believe all these equalities the moment women start going to man's village to seek his hand in marriage with her people and paying groom price.

That's already been done in India yet they have one of the highest female gender abuse

Look at the way she is rejoicing over a chieftaincy title because she values it.

This is a woman that has consistently rejected national honours from the federal government.

I don't blame her.
Nobody expects her to share the same honours with thieves and criminals.

Mele Kyari got national honours from Buhari, days after extensive pipelines looting our crude oil from the Niger delta was discovered.

It was like adding insult to injury.

Under mele Kyari, Nigeria has exported its record lowest crude since 1999, majorly due to oil theft.

So you expect someone like chimamanda to share the same podium with mele Kyari and collect the same honours with that crooked incompetent.?

You go wait Taya.

Yoruba Muslims are originally from Mali and not real Yorubas.

But due to the accommodating nature of the original Yorubas, they invaded yoruba land and start oppressing real Yorubas religiously and politically.
they always blackmail real Yorubas emotionally and otherwise.
they're gradually spreading and if any real yoruba talk he'll be hushed and be called either bastard or omo ale.
they resoundingly rejected Osibanjo and ridiculed him to the highest but expecting real Yorubas to support their criminal Tinubu.
but thank God real Yorubas are waking up from their slumber and putting these invaders into their rightful place.

God bless real Yorubas
thunder scatter Tinubu

we've had female chiefs in yorubaland as far back as time itself, our women also inherit their father's properties and are allowed to sit in family meetings in their father's house even when married. We also dont sell our women and our daughters are encouraged to work and become key stakeholders in their husband house. we no dey use money block their growth neither do we tell them not to hustle like us.

Great ideas but that may prove very difficult with her being a permanent resident of Yankee.
I'll take back my words if she accomplishes any meaningful projects for the ppl in her native village.

This is why I celebrate my Ijaw culture despite its obvious flaws. A woman can attain any level in society, and she has to be buried with her people upon death. A man's paternal home is his home, but his roots lie in his matrimonial home. Many congratulations to her on the feat�

This is utter abuse of culture. They should make her eze ndiigbo na. This hoe with yeast infestation has single handedly destroyed many girls with her feminist propaganda. I know like 3 she has tuned to evening news paper in Nairaland .
One of my tenants who always likes listening to her is single till date. Last December she went to Shiloh and brought me one useless anointing oil. For my mind I say use the oil anoint your brain and dry kpekus
Comrade the sad part is that while they were championing chima Amanda, she came out to denounce Nigerian feminist
