She used the word irritating and almost everyone's making a song and dance of it? Such prudishness. One would think that by now everyone must have been used to the lippy, brazen, and barefacedly outspoken persona that we all love Chiamanda for. I don't know about you, but I love this woman. And this issue is a double-edged sword: at one breath there is nothing wrong with posting pics of your baby-bump on social media; at another breath, it smacks of pettiness—especially when it is done to show off, or simply because everyone else is doing it and so I too must follow suit (same thing goes for that annoying premarriage photo shoot we see left, right and centre—like we ever get to see predivorce photo shoot when things go awry) In total sum, I think what Chiamanda is trying to say is that some things are just meant to be private, and I agree with that 100%. This compulsive need that people have—especially females—to put every tidbit of their life under the glare of public eye, which inadvertently pushes them to inappropriately seductive behaviour, are resultants of untreated schizophrenia and histrionic personality disorder (this explains the inordinate attention-seeking and excessive need for approval) People should start doing meaningful things with their lives. Humans are just so fücking petty! 5 Likes 1 Share |

This 'baby bump' culture doesn't just celebrate motherhood, it also indirectly says women are only good as brood mares. |

Chimamanda you have really proven to be undoubtedly endowed with knowledge. I just wish many women will know the sacredness of pregnancy. Well I don't blame them because those who show off pregnancy are people who never acquired homely training and so could not know that pregnancy worth being respected. |

duni04:I'm not Igbo, but please respect that girl. To put her achievements in perspective, name ONE Nigerian author with 4 international bestsellers. Including the revered Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe. She's just pissed with the culture of glorifying women as mere incubators when they are much more. it says a lot that someone like Kim Kardashian, whose brain is firmly fixed on increasing her butt size, is in the vanguard of this trend. And yes, elnathan is her boy. he asked for her mentorship. that makes him her boy... 1 Like |

bigtt76: Okay. And you were born in 1976, right? I remember some time last year or so, or maybe two years ago, I can't remember. I put up a post saying I have a long 'thing' and needed someone that can handle it, and you sent me a wrong pin...twice. Wicked girl. lol! |

Simply her opinion. I'm sure she didn't subject herself to house arrest, and people actually saw her. Folks, don't be easily swayed by people's opinion. Everyone is entitled to one. Chimamanda's opinion is not law! |

Justeenaleo: abi o. the child is sacred so why do you announce the birth and do a ceremony on the naming. One can go on and on and i think she also needs to understand and appreciate diversity. i am not a fan of baby bump pictures but i cannot criticize it. One last point though: she (Chimamanda) might actually be criticizing the act of just following the bandwagon to do baby bump. on that I would agree. |

HomeOfMe:You're absolutely right on course! There are certain things I've decided not to get my future kids engaged in without their consent. Let children grow up as children rather than get them entangled in things they wouldn't want to identify with early. Example, fame. |

Fortunately, her opinion doesn't count on this issue. I take objection to her use of the word irritating. It's not her body, eyes or baby. |
