No! No! No! "I told them to left" please.

Of course, its not yet ripe enough for people of her calibre to reveal their true identity. We shall come to that. Chimamanda was mentored and inspired by Chinua Achebe who wrote There Was a Country on his dying bed-there he revealed where his heart has been all these years. That book actually reignited the call for Biafra. Chimamanda wrote half of a yellow sun-another Biafra inspired book. She doesnt need to tell you where she belongs in words before you get it except you are a fool. Action speaks louder than voice

Follow up: for those quoting me let me educate you a little
1. When the recent call for Biafra started some of us and most other well known intellectuals were not in support because we felt it was championed by touts. Gradually we have been won over by Buharis arrogant display of his bigotry. When i see Nnamdi kanu (who I never knew) in court on handcuffs and Boko haram commenders arraigned a week later gisting freely and laughing with no hand cuffs i began sensing it. Right now Ohaneze has been won over and many more who are not saying it openely know where they belong

2. It will be foolish of Chimamanda to support Biafra at this stage of the struggle. With the global status she has achieved, it will not be wise for her to be playing petty with national politics. It will take a Buhari to not know that with his position as president-his personal public opinions has shifted, he is suppose to be a father without bias. But his 5%-97% shows how foolish he is. In case you dont know the likes of Rochas Okorocha and Ngige all know they are not accepted in the circle they belong but because they are politicians they will just play along.

3. Chimamnda is presently married to an Edo man who is not counted as Biafran, so wisdom should teach her to be soft on Biafra in other to keep her family. Because of her marriage, she can not say she is Biafran, but we all know where she belongs. When Soyinka wished Achebe did not write that memoir, Chimamnda supported Achebe(that was before her marriage) read here

I am not very comfortable with Nnamdi Kanu's approach but it seems he is the only one that speaks the language the ruling powers understands. All his moves has worked out positively. Call him comedian, terrorist, a joke, fraud, coward etc. He has displayed all that and he has gotten the global attention needed for his course. Now tell me: who is the fool?[/quote]Awesome write up.
