    This woman is a blessing to the Africans and every other oppressed content in the world
  • Chimamanda is a very brave woman, I am very much proud of you as an African man and Namibian, the truth will never change, we must call a spider and spider, Europe is one of the most evil continent on earth, even God knows, I did not wanted to comment on this topic but it touches my heart and soul, even if Europe tries to escape their ugly history in Africa under the pretext of not trying to dwell in the past, it will never change, Europe is just full of ignorance

    For peace to be, there must be justice. No Justice without Truth. Then come apologise, restitution, forgiveness reconciliation and progress. Chimamanda is World class
