Thank you Ms. Amanda for this wonderful lecture. You are one of a kind. Nigerians should hear more of this, perhaps, only then would real change take place.

Despite this inspirational speech, the NBA could not do anything to ensure transparency, accountability, fairness, justice etc before, during and after the general elections just because of compromise. Shame on them!

Chimmimanda is awesome!

I admire you Ngozi Adichie. Living in the United States now. My ancestors once lived there. Peace to Nigeria.

I love her saying that Africa- Nigeria has no Heros. I always say Africa need more Karens. America might need less of them but at this point in time, we need African Karens- people who expose and call things out. We also need people to be willing to die for the continent. Thomas Sankara was a hero, Nkwrama Nkruma was a Hero, Gaddafi was a Hero, Ibrahim Traore is a Hero, General Tchiani is a Hero, Asim Goita is a Hero. We need more on the continent , I am so Proud of these men. There are also women Heros on the continent. I would add that Chimamanda is also a hero, a personal hero of mine, Dr Arikana Chihombori Quoao is an absolute Hero and a gem. I know there are many others . So proud of all of your work and so proud of all of you. A big thank you, you are an inspiration to so many.
