She is also the first African to speak at Harvard class day.

I hope she wins the Nobel one day.

Me too - but if she does, it might not even be in Literature.

She seems to be more of a rights advocate these days.

Someone that wrote half of a yellow sun, dignifying biafran struggle is not proud of being igbo?
Even some of her critics in Nigeria calls her an igbo bigot.

Who is the second man to travel to space?? Who is the second woman to drive a car?? We all know the first but we hardly remember the second, being the second is just a comfort zone, be the first to win the nobel Laureate twice.

Whoever wrote this news has just accepted the the inferiority complex stereotype which seemed to make the western world better and superior than African, This is a blatant Lie, if this is coming from Chimamanda herself, I hope not, (Though I know she loves to bask in the euphoria of whatever she calls accomplishment) then she just proved herself a second class being. Even when the Red necks seemed to say so, a sane African should push it back, we are inferior to none, In-fact we are brighter and more intelligent than these, except that we choose the dumbest as Leaders because the brightest minds are in the Classrooms

This inferiority complex has not only eaten deep than I thought, it has infected the new younger generation.

It is not a matter of only God can save us anymore, many Africans need brain transplant before they doom the next generation.

They call you neegga, you call yourself worse. Imagine what it takes not only to lick their ass but to eat their poo.
