OK then, I have indeed seen that I used it first . what it means in very simple terms is ...what they did or said, that made you consider them as more intelligent than adichie with literature in general being the background of this doing and saying.

I wonder the tool you measure IQ with. And a bit, Tyson Ali orange apple, don't you think?

I happen to think Adichie is a Marie Curie of her own place and time. She is teaching girls their potential not to rear piglets for a pig who'd get her pregnant and wouldn't even feed it's own piglets which stops her going to school and being a better life for her and her kids. That poor girl could have gone to the moon, twice, or did you think almajeris drop out the sky?

Chie is healing a cancer that's killing our country and she's been nominated for a Nobel too! She got my vote!

He has no understanding of all the crap he is been writing there.

budaatum:
Is creativity not a product of intelligence?
Is it not the intelligent that are creative?

Sorry my butt in.

Recognition...a list, is your bases for judging who is more important(which I don't think there is) sincerely I expected more, so you judge the prettiest people in your area or state by the list of a few supermodels that come out for the challenge? As at when Gaddafi was alive the Forbes magazine rated Bill Gates over him in wealth in fact did not include him at all, but we know who was wealthier not to talk of Putin, and others.
Or if there was an actual singing contest for the 180million people in Nigeria, do you think our top musicians would make the winning list.
When you were in school the best students in class were not necessarily the most intelligent just the most hardworking. If this is true for the above how much more for the over 7billion diverse people on planet earth


No doubt the people you mentioned were really intelligent and opened up new possibilites for our world by their invention and discoveries, but then that is all there is. It doesn't therefore mean that Einstein because he made important contributions to Quantum mechanics and modern physics that he somehow is superior to Shakespeare, Beethoven, and the likes, because you would not know if Einstein would go that far in the arts and Shakespeare in the sciences.
Judge people by what they are and not by what they are not.

peacesamuel94:
check again, I was only using ur word, you used it first. So you should do the clarifying, and while at it you should tell why you consider these women more .intelligent than adichie, the bases for your conclusion.

peacesamuel94:
Did you if even see how the term intellectual,
was used in the sentence,--that it was qualifying something. did you even notice anyone saying it was the same word or another synonym for "intelligent'. if you cannot get that, then getting out more and reading more Is actually Yours to try.

Perhaps I should assume the posture of the curious student then. Pls name the women in literature that are more intelligent and have made far greater contribution to literature than adichie. And what is this your basis for rating intelligence

peacesamuel94:
Intelligence of course is never the same thing as creativity, and any right thinking person should know that it takes the former to get to the latter.
How can you say someone is creative but not very intelligent. And what is even your definition of intelligence? What makes you think that scientists hold any kind of intellectual superiority over artists, "because their works seem spooky and difficult to grasp, hence they should and must be regarded as more intelligent, is too haughtily ignorant a line of argument I must say.
Adichie would certainly go down as one of the most intelligent figures ever to contribute to.literature in Africa and the world at large, trying to argue against that reality would By consequence, unintendedly make one sound stupid and sincerely so.

Listen to this and tell us if you have heard anything as intelligent in a while.

This lecture has been analyzed and re-analyzed by many western think-tanks.

TSRC:
Mr man, I don't know the kind of tribal induced bad Belle you have.
She is an artist not an.engineer.
Her brilliance is.showcased in arts.
And the rest of the world respects her intelligence.
All Her books are best sellers, even if you don't like them for whatever reason.

Her speeches are not just good. They are cerebral as expected from a highly intelligent artist.

I would take the opinion of Harvard and Yale over a nairalander whose post history is the definition of bigotry.

TSRC:
Adichie is highly intelligent. One of the most intelligent women alive.
That is a fact even Harvard and Yale agrees with as she is the first African to ever be nominated to give a class day speech in both highly esteemed ivory towers.

Her literary works are brilliant piece of art that further re-enforces that theory.

Both of her TED talks are two of the most viewed and sophisticated ted talks of all time.
"The dangers of a single story" speech she gave on TeD talk is magnificently cerebral.

I want to assume you are objective, but your post history gives you away.
I will keep watching.

TSRC:
You can be intelligent without being creative.
But you cannot be creative without being intelligent.

And the higher your IQ, the more sophisticated your creations become.

This theory is more profound especially in the arts as evidenced by the lives of Leonardo DA Vinci, Michelangelo, Handel, Beethoven, e.t.c.

These men are some of the most intelligent men to ever live.

TSRC:
Bull.

Creativity is the highest mental realm. The greatest and most sophisticated inventions of man were born from creativity.

The first Chimamanda's book I read was Half of a Yellow Sun.

After reading the book, I concluded she is one of the most intelligent persons alive.
