What a WONDERFUL human being this beautiful woman is - from every angle, I love and respect her truth.

Chimamanda Adichie is a good story teller. She is four years older than me. We are in the same generation and am also Igbo like her. We grew up in the same region of the country and understand and relate with her experience.

Exactly. Victims of abuse very often internalize their abusers as a form of twisted anti-conscience that misguides and mistreats.

"Not looking for perfection but progress"

I see Nigeria full of such wonderful people. What is happening to them is so sad. The book THE ANIMAL FARM best describes the inequalities of the different classes of people. The elites see the people as liabilities on the great wealth Nigeria is blessed with. They have decided that they deserve more than the citizens instead of sharing it equally. They have taken the place of the Colonialists over the people. The money from oil flows directly to them and stops there. I pray for Nigeria to wake up from its nightmare.

What i love about her novels is her use of Igbo words and phrases

Always educating! I salute you dear Chimamanda. Odeluwa 1.

BE FREE MINDED NOW! *Don't be colonized*!... *Instead of allowing the colonizers to colonize you*..., *you can become more proactive in motion to colonize them first*.. *Life is a game of both positive and negative attitude*... *Any of the choices you make in any of them will definitely control and govern your thinking, feeling and acting capacity and responsibility*...

Ngara <3 <3 beautiful hearing your stories. Love your work

The purple hibiscus is my favourite!

So many trivialities and self-centered statements, how uninteresting this is. How can one say that 'men read books by men'? What about Agatha Christie and J.K. Rowling in the Anglo-Saxon world? How can one make such statements without embarrassing themselves? What a lack of cultural awareness! A bit of research would have revealed to her that, at the time, many people were interested in understanding what led to Samuel Beckett's decision to settle permanently in Paris. This was mainly due to his falling out with his mother. Then, Beckett chose to remain in Paris following the outbreak of World War II in 1939, expressing a preference (because he was asked), in his own words, for 'France at war' over 'Ireland at peace'. All of this speech is so shallow and self-centered. Everything in this speech is focused on me, myself, and me again.
