Ehmm, why is she targeting Nigerians?? As far as I know she's getting backlash from everyone else not just Nigerians, go online and you'll see... I guess Nigerians are just easy to pick on

I think the question itself was asked so as to raise eyebrows, which she had succeeded in doing.

something is telling me feminism is a form of mental disorder. How can you question one decision to use wife of her profile. Clinton's has accomplished what most men will never do but her decision to use wife: sign of submission or call it accomplishment as well is no Chimamanda's headache.

To those saying she can never be higher than Clinton, she isn't in competition with anyone and like she rightly said, she isn't a brand, let her air her opinion its her right, we should stop the hate, there are so many issues going on round the world, our impacts can made in those. I see jealousy, hatred and tribalism among those bashing her, Its not compulsory to agree with her opinion, the last time miss Clinton came to Nigeria she never said anything good about us and now its privileged to having her on the same platform with adiche.

Back then in UNN, the Priest in the campus catholic chapel warned her parents to call her to order after she challenged, in writing, the Priest's teachings on morality. She is Mrs know-it-all.
Don't say. Wow.

There's certainly something wrong with her. Eventually, she's going to come crashing down to earth when Americans get tired of her putting her nose in everything.

With that said, Chimamanda adichie please don't squash the love and high esteem we've rated and placed you over the years with your recent outrageous foolishness.
no amount of rigmaroling will bring out sense in the nonsense you've vomited.

[quote author=prechbills1 I keep thanking God that Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't win that election...

and to Chimamanda
She's Mrs not Ms...

Come back to Africa and start campaigning against the payment of bride price because I don't see any reason why I should pay money before marrying you and won't see you as a "lesser" human. I'd surely take you for a commodity.

To the monkeys that will/may quote me out of context, ;I'm a stunch feminist.




Other foods for thought;

Because a lady is ruling the UK, females are treated like gods there.

As a lady you slap a man in his ass without his consent and you'd be praised for it. You won't be jailed because of useless excuses like; oh she was only playing with him, it's a lie, oh she's pregnant, oh she has kids.
As a man you slap a lady in her ass without her and you'd be imprisoned or sued.
That's exactly what's happening in places like Britain, Germany and USA right now.

What's gonna happen if a lady is allowed to rule Nigeria today
men will be treated like dogs.

I pray I never become a President some day, because if I do, any lady that falsely accuses someone of rape, sexual harrasment and molestation will spend their entire lives in jail.


Why should a man be the one to lose more in a case of divorce?
We are in a world where women can't build homes, only men build homes and women move in freely.
Women are always awarded custody of children.


Women are more favoured than men in very very many things yet I pity the men don't complain, even if they do some people still call them "weak".



Like I said earlier I pray I don't become a President... that's all I got to say..


Quote me and answer yourself [/quote]
I really pray you or your generation do not become any future president as you have pronounced yourself before you jail all our maidens and women, also remember that not all ladies walk freely into their hubby's house, there are many hardworking and independent ladies out there who do not give a hoot about guys money.

Chimamanda can dissect Hillary Clinton as much as she likes;but one thing remains certain,the likes of Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama will forever remain more highly rated than Ngozi Adichie...
Hillary Clinton is a proud WIFE of former US president and one of the most influential men in the world,Bill Clinton;while Chimamanda remains the wife of a nobody,a man who is so weak that his wife can't even bear his surname.
I have nothing against TRUE FEMINISM,but there is a thin line between COMMON SENSE and NONSENSE.
Please tell me one thing Michelle Obama has accomplished aside from being the first black first lady. ?

A Nigerian without an American citizenship rose to a position of influence and opinion shaping without ever been in politics.

You think that is not more impressive than whatever Michelle Obama has accomplished?

When was the last Michelle Obama won an award in her field of study which is law?
Her highest achievement is first lady.
Don't ever insult chimamanda by making that comparison again.

Hilary Clinton on other hand is a highly accomplished Titan.

Lol. I'm a hundred percent sure she only came up with this trash because of the backlash. If this was truly the reason why she asked Hillary that question, she would have phrased it in a better way.

That aside, why try to create dispute in someone's marriage? Well, I just can't wrap my head around feminism.

America is built on difference in opinion. It is a democracy.

That is why they are first and your country is not.

She will come crashing down? You will have to take away her brain first for that to happen

Her crime was that she did not conform to the traditional role of First Lady. She had kept her name. She clearly considered herself to be her husband’s equal partner. She did not intend merely to be a Wife. She had her own dreams, her own ambition. She dared to say that she wasn’t planning on ‘staying home and baking cookies,’ which was not about denigrating stay-at-home mothers but simply about saying that that was not what she wanted to do.


It was therefore upsetting to see her first descriptor as ‘wife.’ The question isn’t about including ‘wife’ in her Twitter bio. The question is about giving ‘wife’ a certain primacy as the first word that describes her, and it speaks to larger questions about the societal expectations placed on women.

i agree for a simple reason; yes to my family i may be known as husband/father, but that is not how I am presented to the world. No one who goes into a meeting, or a social gathering is introduced as husband/father. introductions are tied to hierarchical positions and social standing.

there is no social standing in being a husband or father, as most males are in these roles. unfortunately though, the more backward/misognyistic the society, the more standing is assigned to being a wife/mother, a role that most women are also in.

i am much more than a husband/father - and women are also much more than wife/mother. if a persons sole or most notable purpose in life is to marry and bear children, then that is a real problem ; and anyone supporting that is not much better than the saudi's they would be vilifying on other threads

Feminism is just an excuse for one's inadequacies and an expression of bottled bitterness. Adichie would never get to Clinton's level, not even in her next life could she have a blend like Clinton and have it blended with inner peace.

The funny thing is that Nigerians has 99 problems in their country but will prefer to react to matters abroad that has nothing to do with them.

Feminist or Not, Nigeria is not ripe for such and there is no need we reacting to what we don't understand.

Clinton might be Ms this that but she is a friend of Adiche and that what matters.

Adiche has right to pick on her anyhow she wants and still meet her on any basis but we are here forming aproko whereas we have a president that is not even aware 35 people died in his country yesterday and citizens that doesn't care if it was morethan 35,all we are eager to react to is any news aired on CNN and BBC.. Decadence.

Sometimes i always think Nigeria problem started the moment we started having radios, television and Internet affordable cos we make little or no use of the news from those medium

By being born on Nigerian soil she may not. It is her heritage not her mind that limits her.

You need to be born on American soil to run for president.
