I'm sorry, but I don't agree with Chimamanda. Everything she wrote there can be summarized as saying the right wing is completely full of White Sipremacists. Which is absolutely wrong.
OK, why did Donald Trump choose Dr. Ben Carson as Secretary (Minister) of Housing and Urban Development? The Republican party is diverse. Surely not as diverse as the Democratic Party, but it has its own fair share of diversity.
Not all right wingers are part of the alt-right. Although Donald Trump can be said to be the champion of 'alt-right' ideologies including populism and nationalism, what you have to understand is that the majority of people who supported Trump did so grudgingly- to vote against Hilary Clinton.
Clinton's dirty laundry has been continuously exposed in the media up until this election, with Obama even 'finishing' her in the debates. Talking about how she was getting fatter on Walmart Capitalist money while he was being a community volunteer. They've said so many things about her that have effectively shown how she was unfit, and the nail in the coffin was the email scandal. And after all that, the Democrats decided that SHE was the person fit to run against a man who was running on the waves of populism, a very attractive ideology to people who were fed up with Obama's government.
Charisma on Command explained it very simply. She didn't have the 'energy' and was never convincing enough. Trump came along with the idea of being an outsider. She immediately tried to switch, by calling herself an 'outsider' (which every idiot knows is not true) because she was a woman. Obama, on the other hand, while campaigning for her, turned the question around, saying 'You want experienced doctors to treat you, experienced engineers to build your houses. Why then do you want an 'outsider' to lead you?'
Clinton just wasn't fit. Period. Another candidate would've been better. Only a very small percentage of Trump supporters believe everything he says. The rest have so much disdain for Clinton.
Trump's appointees aren't too discouraging either. He's appointing good brains in his cabinet. Some people claim that he's just appointing 'rich' people, but those are the people he knows how to work with. And because of his arrogant nature, he's so scared of failure that HE'S ACTUALLY TAKING ADVICE. You can see that reflected in his appointment of 'Mad Dog Mattis' as Secretary of Defence. Frankly, Obama's Secretaries of Defence didn't know what they were doing. He appointed 4 different ones over his two terms. This man, General Matti's, however, is very popular with the army. The soldiers have confidence in the government now, because they described Mattis as 'A man who knows what wars to avoid, but isn't afraid to fight back'.

All these are just speculation anyway. Let's see what happens in the end.

are you through?

I believe Adichie should know "Charity begins at home".

She should also tear her green card just like that old Egba man with bushy hair.
Who knows why Egba people like tearing their cards anyhow? Abi, that was how Ebola Owu also tore his party card the other day but thankfully not in the other room.

Chiefpriest1:
Nice one.Still can't wrap my head around a Trump Presidency.

Like Adichie said, the man is pathologically unstable. A man who talks before thinking can only be a destabilising factor.

The next four years will be tough for America and Americans. Some hard truths in this beautiful piece.

She is very wrong about Trump person. U don't get out of bankruptcy time and again by being "pathologically" unstable. whatever that means. Trump is good for Trump. He can be good too for America yet. People should stop being presumptuous and let the man fail first

thesicilian:
Nigerians should leave Americans alone to govern themselves the way they like. You'll leave your country in tatters and go and be blowing grammar in another man's country. Is it not because they too good care of their own that you found it desirable to go and live in?

well said!

Nigerian president who think before he act what is our benefit,Millions of Nigeria lost their job within one yrs ,poverty everywhere,kitchen thief every day.House of assembly member carting away billions in the name of planning Nigeria.Sorry this soup we are cooking will get done with soured taste soon.

No mind her. She wan begin do like Wole Shoyinka. Every matter, I must put mouth. Trump is an American guy. He's doing guy in his own land. Chi-Chi close ya mouth.

Mtcheww, so she knows history gives both context and warning, yet she rallied behind someone like Buhari who history showed had nothing to offer.

She should shut up,Donald Trump has won and whether she likes it or Yes, he is President and he will govern America same way Buhari is here to stay till 2019 of course.

Alhajipablo:
The whites have always been shallow, it takes the deep to call on the deep or something like that. It took a stupid Man like Trump to bring out the stupidity in white Americans.

Seems brexit and the US elections have shown some Nigerians and Africans at large that not every American or brit is the ultimate deep-thinking machine we all see them to be, on the other hand Adichie's eagerness to see things from a feminists point of view doesn't always go down well with me.

If it is about that bloated frog headed man called trump, Ngozi. U hit it.

Trump is Abacha about to be installed or babangida sef. I fear for the blacks in america in coming days.

God save America

Tallesty1:
My problem with feminists is that when they contest in something and lose to men, they automatically conclude that they lost because they're women.

I was talking with one the other day and she said that a woman cannot become president in Nigeria because Nigeria men hate women and I asked.

"Are Igbos women? Why is it difficult for them to become president in Nigeria?"

It's simple, they don't plan well.

Clinton lost because Trump did something better.

Adichie should stop wailing and return home if she's comfortable with Trump being American president.

You deserve a bottle of wine, nothing irks me like feminism cos I don't know what they're even fighting for.

To me feminist behave like Nazis, and their activism should be checked now b4 the monster grows.

I never hated clinton cos she was a woman, I hated her cos she had a track record. Of missteps, corruption and above all unpatriotic actions.

Who cares if she a woman, trump hit hard where it matters most which is the fact america is losing its global power cos it's losing its identity

Gone are the days when people think of what they can do for america, now they all think of what america will do for them.

Saying immigrants should be deported, lgbt shouldn't be allowed to marry in church becomes hate rhetoric... seriously? Lols

**As others have rightly said too, why hasn't she been writing long articles about Nigeria? Why hasn't she been actively using her influence to change the mindset of Nigerian Youths?

Beautiful piece, on point

Why take the pill for another. Pls can someone point me at what she has spoken about her country's leader who promised and failed to achieve it. I dont get it

Almand:

Okay, it basically means he's extremely and abnormally unstable (highly temperamental, intolerant , unpredictable in the wrong sense).

Unfortunately, there's a big world of difference between being a businessman and being a president of the world's most powerful nation.

You can fail in business, dust yourself and come back stronger.

But imagine if in anger, a president sends his forces to go destroy an entire nation, even before thinking about the implications. The effect of that is not reversible.

Or he activates America's nuclear armament -attempting to kill a fly with a sledge hammer.

And by the way, maybe he wouldn't have gone bankrupt in the first place, if he actually thought through his decisions. I hope he succeeds though.

Thank you Sir, you really know your stuff.

The Mad Dog Mattis, a marine's marine point nailed it.

Ananda must understand that she's no American even though she wrote a book titled Americanah. You can't decide who they want as president, madam.

If you are tired of living in the US, please do the honourable thing like Wole Soyinka...tear your papers and relocate to Nigeria. After that u will know that the worst of America is better than the bestest of Nigeria. Perhaps when she relocates to Nigeria, she will be releasing articles daily nagging about how Nigeria is a failed state

I rest my case

Aunty, when did Chimamanda rally behind Buhari? Is she now a politician?

Please be specific on how she supported Buhari overtly or covertly.

ccffwx:
Adichie hit the truths that humanity has been running from. We know it but don't say it and don't address it.

What truth?

You're there blowing grammar when the old man you stupid folks foisted on us has rendered the economy useless.

Poor man can no longer afford garri and sugar.

Many people won't travel home this xmass because they're broke but the only thing disturbing you is American's choice of president.

How is it your business?

Clinton Lost, Trump won, deal with it or die crying.
