I think she was talking about Patricia Etteh who holds the record of the highest rank any woman has held in Nigerian politics and she messed up. I remember people raised up the sex issue with her because they felt she spoilt the chances for women.
I know she referenced Etteh, but to say only women are flayed for stealing in Nigeria is intellectual dishonesty. That is the kind of argument we should expect from Romance section bimbos not a world renowned author like Adichie.

I'd rather not believe an acclaimed scholar made this statement.
Feminism is for idiots. Expect idiots to be idiotic. She is good at one thing, storytelling; she should stick to storytelling. You don't see John Grisham, Sydney Sheldon et al dabble into politics. They have respected themselves and stuck to the sphere in which they thrive.

she is following chinua achebe's footsteps who goofed at the end with the last book he wrote, any surprise?
She is trying too hard to reach achebe's level of odious bigotry and tribalistic mentality.

At least achebe brewed his for several decades even as the sad and pathetic propaganda minister under ojuwku and the old Biafra rag tag village rebel group.

Stop sounding deficient. She is talking about Diezani.

Atimes feminists make over bloated and ridiculous statement that flaws/weakens their argument.

What about instance of men that have face the anti corruption war?

She would have made sense if she said the anti corruption war on Diezani is political.

I can't believe a noble writer winner can vomit this thrash perhaps the news source compromised her speech.

Feminists are idiots who are very much like Ipobians. They lack logic and always feel persecuted without reason. Imagine the product the product from an Ipobian feminist. Utter trash

I am only try to point out that she isn't the greatest looter amongst those men I pointed out... however she must also pay the price for stealing....

However if those men escape the earthly justice, my happiness is they can't escape God's......

Timbuktuo:
Yes, just like Sambo Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu who are also women.

I am yet to see what this woman contributes to the public sphere asides storytelling. In terms of logic and critical thinking, she is seriously deficient.

Abeg, carry your useless identity politics stay for Yankee or Europe or wherever you choose to be. We have too many problems for you to come and start chatting trash here.
She's way smarter than you. You should read and re read then ask someone more intelligent to explain what she meant.



PS: the amount of people who can't understand a simple statement is baffling, is our education system this terrible?


For the uninformed, please read this

kimbraa:
You're the deficit one in logical and critical thinking.

She didn't say Diezani should've been exonerated from the theft she was alleged to have committed but the notion that because "She's a woman" then more was expected of her. A man could steal but women can't. Both should be treated equally when found guilty of any crime instead of shaming the woman because she's a woman.

You're obviously less intelligent than she is which isn't saying much for her. It's paining you that I'm flaying your sister abi?

Even if she meant what that bimbo you quoted meant, does it make sense? She's now pained that some people are freely allowed to steal and another section aren't, is that sensible? Should she not tell her fellow women at Women's Meeting that they should abide by higher standards if they are to set examples? Who cares if women aren't allowed to steal what is the problem in it? Should they be stealing in the first place?

huh

I think this beautiful lady needs to steer clear of politics.
She's goofed once too many times.
Really, I don't think its wrong to place women on a higher moral pedestal than men. That's where they naturally belong.

So Britain prosecuted Ibori, who was already a convicted felon in UK, because he was from the Niger Delta?

In the process of over extending one is bound to fall over. Chiamanda, this your quest to change the universe in your life time will cause forgettable gaffes from time to time such as this. This is actually shameful.
