Im not sure we read the same post. She said she asked her carpenter who he will vote for and his response was that he doesn't have a pvc.... Do they use pvc in America ?

Na write up jare, Chimamanda is not in Nigeria besides "her carpenter", seriously? If it was her doctor or her mechanic now I could have believed she is in Nigeria.
How many times does your carpenter visit your house?

You don vex?
At least, her status is able to change lives, to change people's views about things. Not everybody can put food on your table. While some are sent to preach the gospel, some are sent to serve the people and make lives better.

Yes I agree with you her status is able to change people's views because she's a writer. But I have a right to reject her opinion, why? she has no moral locus to comment on Nigeria. She said it herself shes disinterested in what goes on here especially the electoral process. She only uses Nigeria's issues to gain attention whenever it pleases her.

It will be very much bias judging Buhari military regime as inhuman, can anyone tell me which of military regime is not characterized by its peculiar behavior?

God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

Their's an aura of bias against buhari in her write up.

She was very clear and expressive when mentioning the vices of the General but was quite clever when it comes to GEJ, choosing to use peoples perspective to describe GEJ's personal floors.

Also noticed she dedicated almost 3 paragraphs to the negatives of the GMB's Military administration and systematically stating the negatives but she was quick to mask GEJ's flip side with the conspiracy theory of his perceived "enemies at work".

Overall the lady was able to systematically and cleverly tell us that though she's frustrated with the GEJ's administration, she doesn't like GMB.

I've know her to be boisterous loquacious skunk who thinks in her egoistic mind that she is important.

What's wrong with her giving back to the society, they only sit around and type all the crap from the dark part of her skull.

Spits on her.

Do you know what people think about you? what have you given to society? *doesn't bother with undignified spitting coz i respect you as my fellow human*

voltron:
I find your statement uncouth but uncorrupted - as I (myself) find her "decorated" monologues toilsome and her inconspicuous indifference (to matters of Nigerian nationhood) gratuitous.

Chimamanda's insouciance is appreciably palatable and yes! the darling of African Literature stands on the pulpit of public adulation; she deserves the right to wander in the night like an (overweening) amorous cat. Let her have her say

what other choice does she have than "wander in the night"? even after writing an article as neutral as she tried to make this, she is still being accused of being an APCist, Jonathan supporter, tribalist, uninformed, alien etc. taking active interest means "choosing a side" strongly. something she's obviously uninterested in doing. biko let her be. if you have one yourself then write it.

You're a bastard for generalizing the igbo race as an individualistic entity with no self moral.

Mehn! Dis woman is gifted with her use of words.

Sorry babe.
But come to think of it, it's not like you're in Nigeria and you'll be voting na.
What should we first time voters do?
What should people who are supposed to get married on that day do?
What should people who did not make plans for their partner due to the fact that elections were meant to take place on that day do?

Well I guess u don't read your news very well, she has her PVC already which she claimed in a write up she presented last week and yes! She's voting dearie because she was in Nigeria as at last week or a week before at her house in Lagos and to cap it all she's a true Nigerian I must say for not being bias with her write up.... Marriages and valentine has you claim is not her business cos she's not the one causing the delay and postponment of elections

Of course, they are characterised by 'inhumaneness' and that is why they should never be given that chance to rule or lead us!...NEVER!!!
"The souls of innocent lost during Jonathan administration alone is more than souls lost during Nigeria civil war.".....I'm sorry sir, but that is totally untrue!

Hugo7:
Are you sure you read the aricle cos she did not support either Buhari or Johnathan, if I may ask what do you mean?

Abi ooo nah wetin me self been wan ask b dat, all dis nairalanders dat won't read an article to d end or even understand d article b4 commenting go jst dey go off point

agabasam:
Always trying to use Nigerias situations to gain popularity... Next time when sometin gud happens in naija , let's see if she will write about it... Nonsense, ..

To gain popularity...if you'll ever be half as renowned as she is, you really gotta quit making comments like this!
If she doesn't write about Nigeria's situations, what does she write about?....fiction? Take a nap bro!

Madam, take a look at this;
Last week, Victor, a carpenter, came to my Lagos
home to fix a broken chair. I asked him whom he
preferred as Nigeria’s next president: the
incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, or his challenger,
Muhammadu Buhari.
She said 'last week' that means she comes around, probably she even lives here, and occasionally shuttles between Nigeria and Abroad...so find a better point or close your mouth!

Hahahaha bros buy her valentine gift first

Everybody want to be noticed

If you too don't want to be noticed why not maintain your peace.

With the responses I've read... it seems most of us depict exactly what's wrong with Nigeria.

For an articulate and largely unbiased write-up such as this which most people will never write, talk less of having it published in their life time, I still see opinions reeking of spiteful criticism.

Every wellmeaning Nigerian will want good governance devoid of religious or tribal sentiments.

Don't mind that liar called chimamanda, she is just seeking cheap attention.

This is quintessential folly!
Didn't you read her write "my lagos home"
Please criticise objectively!!!

a dispassionate analysis of the current political situation in this country..u are in the right madam

App supporters,before you start barking like mad dogs,I hope you noticed where she pointed out that just like Pdp,Apc party members are all corrupt except Bihari. But I wonder what she has to say about Bihari handing over 80% of the oil blocks to northerners during his time. That I guess is not corruption but giving to the north what is rightfully theirs or their birth right I must say............

u call a girl dat Beyonce feature in her song titled flawless an attention seeking girl? i doubt if u will eva c omotola's shadow.

Beyonce is a celebrity, what do celebrities do? they seek attention and popularity. Soyinka, Achebe et al are writers, What do writers do? they raise our consciousness for the evolution of our society through their work while totally identifying with that society and being an integra part of it. Celebrities are not meant to be writers while writers are not meant to be celebrities. But I cannot identify into which category Adichie falls. She's not a part of our society,she uses Nigeria to seek attention in her writing, She has no PVC she doesn't care yet she wants to comment on the election postponement and she goofed. Here's an Igbo woman who supports gays and was talking rubbish when the anti gay laws were signed citing Igbo culture. She just manages to jump into any controversial issue in Nigeria so that people will continue to noticed that she exists. Of course her position will have to conform with her American backers or else she won't be winning all those awards. Besides Omotola to me is and should be regarded than any imported American ideas of flawless.
