Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, graced the launch of a children's book written by notable author, Chimamanda Adichie, on Friday.

Obi shared photos from the event on his X page on Saturday.

According to him, the event held in Lagos on Friday, and was well attended by notable Nigerians.

Obi partly wrote, "Yesterday, I joined other very respected Nigerians at a remarkable event aimed at improving the reading culture of Nigerian children.

"The event which attracted notable personalities like President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed, Prof Hakeem Bello-Osagie, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Bella Disu, Ndidi Nwuneli, Chimamanda's husband, Ivara Esege, and others, was the unveiling of a children's book authored by my very dear sister and global icon, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

"The children's book titled, 'Mama's Sleeping Scarf,' was presented at the event tagged, 'Christmas Magic' in Lagos. The motive of the author was to help reinforce the reading culture among Nigerians, especially the youth and children."

The celebrated author is known for her literary pieces like 'Purple Hibiscus,' 'Americanah,' and 'Half Of A Yellow Sun,' among others.

The gathering of great men

Nice one

Good one from the Great Writer

Congregation of haters... I wonder the magnitude of hate she wrote for her kids to read in her books

Her books would slowly indoctrinate Children into

Feminism

Biafra agitation

Fascism

Anti Nation, and Anti Government


.

Great men with vision, one day Nigeria would be great again

Gathering of great men and women.

Peter Obi the man that always give BAT Supporters a sleepless night.

Beautiful minds....one day our 1st eleven will rule this country. Only then can Nigeria be blessed with the grace of prosperity.

So, Ms Adiche finally realised that the children exist

P.S

I'm joking, It's always good when the master authors write something for kids. Must have read Achebe's chike and the river very well. The master's first children oriented book, and a good one it was.

Reasonable people president

GREAT MAN!!!

You must be an agbero or a hooligan to support a dubious and criminal entity like Tulumbu

FACTO

OBJ join his Okoro family members. A real Igbo man will never depart away from his family

Instead of launching it in Anambra to bring more revenue home , later they will be shouting marginalisation

You are done with waving at Tinubu and shouting , “Ebi npa wa oo” meaning- we are hungry.
And now you are back to your trolling job on Nairaland

You are the hater here because Obi, Chimamanda and Obasanjo are already made but you are jobless and poverty stricken and you are here defending the criminal that has robbed you of your future blank. Zombie

TAKE AM

Chimamanda Adichie and Obi are both clowns.... When we say their region is backward in all ramifications they will cry... Why bring your book launching to Lagos, what happened to Anambra, Abia or Enugu? At Least you should be able to showcase her backward region to the world.

Straight make I go read am.

City boy no reach there

Obo

Alhajikd:

What do you mean?

I have modifed my comment. READ.

(No be everything be attack, oga Voltron, defender of the universe!)

Congratulations to the woman of letters

Ok

One is donating to secondary schools and improving the lives of the younger generation, the other littered the city with thugs extorting bus drivers and violating the rights of law abiding citizens.

The Anambra he once ruled, how did it fair during his tenure?

Bad for Anambra but good for Nigeria shey? You guys are wicked.

The gathering of greatness

All I see



Don’t bother to quote me cos I won’t reply u

Many Nigerians left this for that and are now calling on God for divine intervention. God doesnt listen to evil and wicked people
