Why not take that to her SE region where they need it most?

Wow children's book that's nice...

If this book is launched in nigeria and the minister of education or any of it officials couldn't attend then it's crazy....

Let her take the book launching to Anambra where Obi turned to California first. By then we will take her serious.

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.

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

See what politics has turned Nigeria into!
An event that should be well celebrated has turned out to be the gathering of LP sympathisers. So sad.
LASG not even represented in an event that took place in Lagos and children focused.
May God help this country.

And neither of them could build or leave a very efficient and working educational system from the village to the city. Or at the very least improve vocational and technical education which would have helped us out of our economic backwardness

And if you respond by calling me a tribalist, you have missed the point of my missive.

In Lagos?.. You see what i'm talking about, it'd have been a big flop in Anambra because they are lacking the essence of cosmopolitanism in the SE.

You use delusions to cope with life and feel okay, right?

You need to see a psychiatrist.

The truth of the matter is, the book won't sell very well in Lagos either.

Nigerians do not read books as we should. We don't buy books, don't download them, don't read them. She is launching in Lagos because that's where the major publishers for textbooks and school books are located.....and that is an accident of colonial rule and Lagos being the capital till 1991, but i digress....and they will promote her book to the Ministry of education, which would in turn promote it to schools.

That's how many Nigerian writers make their money.

Think your average Lagosian is buying Adiche for their kids to read? Or any Nigerian author. Middle and upper classes are buying foreign wirtiers more. Then chriestians are buying christian books. Lower class people ain't buying books.

The tribal fictional writer has written another TRASH—the event attended by losers.

Heaven is to mankind While Lagos is to Ibos.

No city in entire SE was deemed fit for the book launch.

Even Obi ran away from Anambra to live in Lagos, as Obiano fled to Texas.

Who would want to live in a poo 💩 hole 🕳?

The day a Yoruba man goes to Enugu or Onitsha to launch anything is the very day Jesus will return.

As president he must have directly or indirectly authorised the gathering.

It is what it is.

Where are the notable Nigerians?

This op has mental issues. You call a gathering of never- do- wells like that hypocrite, Ipoby Ezekwezili and Obj (who would have introduced a constitutional crisis through the ill fated third term agenda) a gathering of notable people.
