Chimamanda Adichie: ”We Don’t Care About Trump Calling Africa A Shithole" by WotzupNG: 12:55pm On Oct 10, 2018 |
At the Monde Festival which held in Paris, Nigerian author and feminist, Chimamanda Adichie touched on a lot of interesting topics especially concerning Africa. In an interview moderated by Maryline Baumard at the Opéra Bastille, Chimamanda Adichie got a loud applause from the audience when she addressed the description of Africa as a “shithole country” by US President Donald Trump. She said: There are things that are said by people and we do not care! Because we know that it comes from a sidereal vacuum. The author of Dear Ijeawele; The Feminist Manifesto also asked that Africa be thought of differently than through “condescending debates” On the question of “black” identity, Ms. Adichie said: Yes I am Nigerian, yes I am a woman, I am a feminist, yes I am black. But why do we stick a label of identity to those who are not white? I recognize myself as a person. I want to be what I am! She added: I think increasingly I just want to be able to have all the multiple things that I am. But what I am not, for example is, I am not an American. I really am not. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie denies being “an activist”. To be a writer who is Nigerian and Black and all of those things and feminist means that people constantly want to read me politically, and I also sometimes want to resist that. But it is no less with the strength of an activist she explains the urgency to think differently of masculinity, to change the status of women, saying: You really have to raise children, boys and girls, differently from the youngest age. And especially rebuild masculinity. Because feminism will never reach its goal without the involvement of men. Masculinity, as built, is part of the problem. Men must be tough to show their strength. It should be done so that men can be vulnerable, show their emotions. She added: It would be great if the macho was also a crying guy, and who thinks that violence is terrible. https://www.wotzup.ng/2018/10/chimamanda-adichie-trump-africa-shithole/ 5 Likes

Now this is a sensible way to act. Someone called your country a shithole and you celebrate just because of political differences. I tell you, it's a shame to whoever cannot stand to defend his nation because when you step out there, no one cares if you are pdp, apc, Yoruba, igbo, Hausa, they see you in person as a shithole person! Shame on you, you cursed blacks. Inferiority is your menace. 4 Likes |

" Men must be tough to show their strength. It should be done so that men can be vulnerable, show their emotions." Why are feminists so obsessed with making men weak, when normal women don't like weak men? 36 Likes 4 Shares
