FoxyFlow:
I was wondering why Chiboy mother thought she was pregnant. Her body, Ifeoma, is strong sha. Ten years when some people starts displaying symptoms on the first month of infection.

Theirs was a no sex relationship then. He he Hehehe, I told you I knew the next thing that would happen, maybe because I bury myself in whatever I am reading.

There will be a twist in the plot. Not all stories have happy endings but this one do. Whatever made her make this statement, "And my happily ever after ended", points to one thing.

From another point of view, maybe, just maybe, her one night stand wasn't what infected her but what do I know? Make a hundred thousand naira in a single night leaves much to be desired and without condom, fate, I tell you have a way of dealing us cruel blows.

Eh, Bibi, make we hook up via whatsapp na. I gat something to tell ya...

In nigeria u will do ritual money &still buy tokunbo car or buy 1 0r 2 mint.
But u will never reach the dangotes,otedolas,or the really rich.
Money without happiness is a disaster.
Babalawo wey dey give you millions but dey charge you close to nothing, still dey feed im children and wives food without meat or better oil.
Abi im be imbe.cile?
My pple really perish for lack of knowledge.

Big ups gal!

I dont know what i like most,
Bibis writing style or the speed by which she updates stories or her polite courteous disposition to readers.
But i do know this girl,
You are a gem. The stars are your footstool.

WELLDONE!

Focus more on adventure,risks and your descriptive style which is very unique by the way...
And i just cant wait to see the boy rolling in cash as a youngin.

Well done!

Bibi this is better than Chimamandas works.
Waaaay better!
More ink to your pen!

Illuminatus:
How do you read Willams Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, JRR Toikien and co and understand them?

Why and how is it different from Chiamanda Adichie?

The english culture is a universally accepted culture.
The nigerian way of life is much narrowed.
So i find it hard to believe that they gully grasp it.
Her works personally to me are not worth the hype.
Something about her just stands her out.
We igbos call it "Chi oma" . "Good fortune"
.she is ok but nothing in her writeups merit the intl acclaims.

chiwetel:
chai...its funny how ur kind would still criticise her if she neglects her roots.
ooh..so she should talk about Yankee high school abi
see eh..let me nuh even change it for you.she is an outstanding writer and we,her fans appreciate her.

chiwetel:
Quite constructive.its funny how my views are the exact reverse of yours.
About the rich man and the Lagos boy,she really didn't have to delve into it was something an average Nigerian can relate to,so what she did was just suffice.

for the sex part,I think for an African writer, she's quite raw,you can't exactly say erotic.
I like the abrupt and unpredictable way she ends her books,its awakens your imagination.In all,chimamanda is a little bit of everything,and still very thrilling.

have read all her works, and maybe am blinded by so much admiration that it probably clouds my critical analysis, you just can't buh marvel on how deluxe a writer she is.

Nice perspective.
I think you are definitely blinded.

What i find most ironical about her style of write up is thatshe writes in a way that alienates the rest of the world,a style only a naija born can relate to.

And she is particularly fond of "university staff kid life stories"which i can relate to by the way.
But i wonder,how do the international community give her the awards when they can barely relate to her perspective...
That girl juju strong.......lol

chiwetel:
huh...you just spewed nothing buh hate,Americanah was highly outstanding. if you do want to criticise, be civil enough to be constructive about it.

I have also read her 3 famous works.
And i have this to say.
She has an uncanny ability to detail.
The way she describes a minor scenario is eerily apt and genius.
But she seems to lack direction in her plots and hence the end is always anti climatic .
It does not take the reader to a point of frenzy neither does it leave the reader yearning for more.
On the book in question,the average reader wont be drawn to the exploits of the heroine.
Or is it the pedestrian everyday narrative tone of the writer.
For example, The chief who later helped the boyfriend
to become a lagos big boy ,was so loosely put and discharged from the storyline.
Also,the repeated reference to the boy friend owning a chauffeur driven black range rover was all too shallow and elementary at best.
Something about the sex scenes were strangely disturbing ,unerotic and outright lame.
I can go on and on.
My rating:3/10.
Description: Beautiful nonsense,highly overrated,
waste of time.

U lifted the later end of the story (Chidi part) from an online publication on google.
You know even change one tin. Nawaoooo!
All d same,great work!
