I wonder in this interviewer will insist so much whether your identity is American, Australian/German/French etc or is it just because she's Nigerian that you're supposed to be more critical of your country? A little too much sir.
Beauty and intelligence encapsulated in Chimamanda!!! I listen and/or watch her talks/interviews downloaded from RU-vid almost every night. I am very proud of this our Nigerian daughter.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is a woman that I love to describe as "paragon of virtue" as she is a model to reckon with in a competitive world where gender is no longer a hindrance to excellence. Though this conversation was quite long in the tooth; however, it's evergreen as she defended her ideas in a meek way and spoke in a meticulous manner without flaws... that Chimamanda for you. She is just phenomenal...
4:26 I worked in Iraq in 2004-2005. I recall vividly asking a prominent Iraqi Kurd whether he was Iraqi first and Kurd second, or Kurd first and Iraqi second. His response was that he was Kurd first and Kurd second. 😉
I am enamoured by her sense of balance which she maintained throughout the interview, about how being Igbo and being Nigerian are not competing identities, even if sometimes one may prevail over the other, and how she defended herself being at the same time a harsh critic and a passionate defender of Nigeria, irrespective of where she resides. A magnificent interview that will not be forgotten in a long time to come. Nigerians are indeed some of the world's best and we await our true liberation from the curse of failed political leadership.
Be careful my sister they will try to discredit you with multiple interviews trying to dig up dirt. They specialize in the burnout. You've made your point now now it's up to them to make a decision and correct their atrocious and lies they've propagated to no end. They've grown in wealth to no end. It's time pay up... Dawgs
GM world! Some vain questions can be ignored, but “The Civil Rights Edtablished Covenant given “Fair Housing Act” that pays rents, mortgages and even the church grounds lawn helpers, grace yard ground keepers, says yeah, we do pay rent, but do you and your slumlords help the poor? Do you take advantage of benevolent grace for your own personal abuse? We’ll let your tenant’s and FHA association programs respond? Cause we f you are remotely hinting to the fall of your economic demise a stimulus was given to every state, so what should you ask your Governor? “Do you pay rent”, and it’s residents of the state should be “yes our Governor do it for every one in the state”, or “No, the low life takes the money and run”! Only each tenant or resident can answer? Well, your turn to say something is now! People, speak?
"the idea of feminists is limited by a single story. "the stereotype of a feminist... even in the west: "you don't shave; you don't use deodorant; you burn bras - and that kind of nonsense..."

Proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten according to Chinua Achebe. Maybe he foresaw the coming of Chimamanda Adichie. She eats her words with palm oil but also make you eat them in her writings.
Taliban doesn't like women like her, she can't be manipulated nor sidelined to silence, learnerd women Have an inner strength that scares most men Good that some Nigerian states aren't undermining their female kids
I like her intellect. I am so glad to read her. I relate her to other great quotes and songs: Keep on pushing, we people who are bluer than blue. etc.. the torch is passing on by this woman.
This is pragmatically a high show of intellectual dexterity and ambidextrous energy for defence, anxiety and depression......... a difference between writing and authorisation.
It's very hard to know how the sun shined in history, and unless we have such brilliant coupled with courage, we could never know what happened behind the curtains
Attracted to her natural hair. Yes the Northern states gets more allocation than Southern state but the common masses don't benefit from the money but the Northern elites. The current problem was predicted. The Northern elites choose to keep a vast majority of the people in poverty and also discouraged them from having western education to prevent them from knowing their rights and challenge the status quo.
