Boakye dankwa, yes, yes, yes. Plus, I would have to practice her name constantly to retain the pronunciation so that I don't mess it up. Beautiful name!
I keep seeing her videos and don't feel tired. I wish if I know her before. She also has a very Beautiful and natural African hair, which I admire next to her speech and her love of education 😍
Congratulations Adichie. You will forever be an inspiration. I like the dignity you carry yourself in. The total attention you pay to whoever is interviewing you. No fidgiting with gadgets.. Keep it up....
Chimanda I noticed the interview recently on BBC 1 news and it's hard to not notice how much make up one needs on her face I mean she's talking about femininsity and my god as far as femininsity gooes WOW IV never seen so much makeup on a woman's face u can put ur finger a centemetre in
I think if she likes makeup she should wear it how she likes it. And if she’s self conscious which I don’t think she is that has nothing to do with what she’s preaching.
In my opinion, this journalist didn't do a good job and so I didn't bother getting to the end. All the same,, Congratulations to an ICON. This is well deserved 👏 🙌
Such an amazing and much deserved award! Only challenge: The accent used to read Half of A Yellow Sun was no where near a Nigerian one. It was hard to watch because our African accents are certainly not monolithic. Other than that, well done!
@@donaenoble7835 are you Nigerian? If you’re Nigerian then you would know why this is problematic. As I stated our accents throughout Africa are absolutely not monolithic. We have amazing readers who would have depicted the accent perfectly. We are a continent with 55 countries, thousands of tribes, cultures, and languages and very able creatives and orators who would have conveyed it better.
@@TeaTimeWithEyek O. K. I hear you. You are looking at in the larger context of things, how it speaks to the larger issues or problems regarding the invisibility of a people etc, and how one should be alert to opportunities to expose the world to, for example, how the people being described in the text actually speak etc. Don't you think though that as it is a world wide event, arising from a competition and readership of worldwide proportions, that perhaps it is a platform to include others? Answering my own question, I think it depends... In other words, you are right in shedding light on key issues, but also we need to carry others who are celebrating with us, along too, don't you think, while Perhaps making it a point that they are assisted to adopt the relevant mannerisms, tone etc.?
Peace and reconciliation between who and who? Most of the key players are no longer around and even when they were alive people in positions of advantage lied against them and twisted stories in such a manner that you began to think that men of truth and honor are very few among the high and mighty in Nigeria.
She reads a book her book on BBC 1 channel and her face is covered in all sorts of makeup it's unbelievable did she really need so much on it was just too much clearly self conscious
Please to non Africans whenever u see an African name starting with N or M... it is pronounce "In" or "Im" respectively.... almost all the time... so Nkomo is pronounced "Inkomo" ; Ngozi "Ingozi"
@David William pronunciation is what we are talking about here.. do u happen to know most outsiders of africa are unable to pronounce african names? nkrumah nkomo etc i am sorry i touched on an igbo name after all they are the only special ones they and they alone were created special... so like i said to some other guy take your shit "superior" sense of self somewhere else.... I do know if an African name starts with N or M they do not pronounce it well that is all....
Wrong!! Wish I can make a voice note here, "Ngozi" in Igbo, is "Ngozi! Not " in nor "I'm! It's totally wrong and don't put it up here as an advise cos am not sure you are Igbo please. The " N" is is like that in Igbo, and there is no other way to pronounce it, you just need to try harder. Thank you
