Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of The Thing Around Your Neck

[selmabrasil]

I'm a big fan of Chimamanda Adichie! As a college professor teaching about multiculturalism, I often use her amazing video "The danger of a single story", and my students are usually touched by her ideas and rethorics. We have long debates about cultures and ethnocentric visions of the world, and I'm really thankful for her work and sharing of knowledge. Amazing woman and thinker!

[selapavlushenko]

I love this book, it is the first short story collection, I've ever enjoyed!

She doesn't look retarded as her native money monger minds igbos..

[amekaoti]

@TheBashir85@TheBashir85

i am sure you are not money-minded and yoruba. it is always easier to see another as the bad apple. but inspite of having had more than half nigerian wealth you are still the same: ignorant and confused

[TheBashir85]

@amekaoti Every one knows igbo are the worst people on earth, so keep proving,keep telling the world how stupid you are. No one in Nigeria wants to hear that word "Igbo" because it is the perfect word for disaster,a word of barbarism, evilness, lack of decorum, greed, fraud, just name it. Keep writing that rubbish! I know you are worst than a giant piece of shit!!

[omotosh0]

@TheBashir85 The danger of a single story is the theme of one of Chimamanda Adichie's stories. Every race or tribe or group has its bad stories and good stories. If you think all Igbos are bad, one can take one story and equate to all. I have some example: Olajide Noibi, is all over the news today. He is Yoruba, so does that make every yoruba a scammer? So he who leaves in glass houses should not cast stones carelessly

[selmabrasil]

@TheBashir85 It's a pitty that you think that, and that you can bear such ignorance and prejudice in your heart. History has showed over and over again the effects of minds like yours. The greatest challenge in the 21st century remains to learn how to share this world with equality. You're far from achiving this goal...

[dabcore]

She looks lovely and sounds intelligent. I will be buying her novels

[PeaceUdo]

[WacheniUshenzi]

[Onyibeb]

Go and ask her yourself. what about you? Are you single and intelligent?

[WacheniUshenzi]

for sure, i have fallen in love with her...unfortunately she is out of reach. Im single and i wont blow my own trumpet saying im intelligent; i'll let her give her own verdict.

[phunkyphresh91]

oooh what a beautiful african speakerr,i just fell in love with the way she handles the english language.thats my perfect woman!!!

[scramignon]

You know?! Most people in Nigeria "handles the english language" just like her.... Nigeria's official language is english.

[MsVGoodgirl]

I never heard of Adichie, until today. I saw her video one story. I enjoyed it. I will be getting her novels.

[oluwalogbon58]

YES of course she is AN EXCELLENT WHITEMANS PLAYTHING.. loves to tell stories that they love to hear.. talking about NIGERIAN LITERATURE and not mentioning WOLE SOYINKA? .. leave it out.. moron..

[IgweOba]

@ Oluwawhatever, There's no need for her mentioning Wole Soyinka...She mentioned CHINUA ACHEBE on the TED show and that's good enough for NIGERIAN LITERATURE. U also need to stop posting your racist and tribalist views...grow up. What is paining u?

[oluwalogbon58]

igwewatever, of course YOU WOULDNT MENTION A YORUBA AUTHOR. take your TRIBAL WAREFARE ELSEWHERE.. next.. take your TRIBAL BULLSHYT AND STICK WHERE THE SUN DOESNT SHINE.. ashole..

[Nnfefe]

actually what she is saying is that nigeria is a tribal expression, thanks to the colonialist

[jide1000]

oluwalogbon 58 If you watch her presentation at the christopher okigbo memorial lecture which you will find here on youtube she waxes eloquent with regards to Soyinka and in particular his "the man died'.Sorry to piss you off though but Soyinka cant hold a candle to her prose .

[proteanview]

Adichie is an excellent story teller at that.

[AfroAngola]

I love this woman!!!...She insoires me to be a better writer

[Mrmoc7]

It is unfortunate than p and o are so close together on the keyboard. -:)

[Mrmoc7]

*that

lol

[AfroAngola]

You are right...thanx for noticing

[Chimeski]

Isn't that just cool!!!!? talking about someone's error while making yours......go figure :~)

[Mrmoc7]

Thanks for acknowledging the already acknowledged. You get the pointlessness award of the year.

[PeaceUdo]

@Chimeski I like the way you put it. I will use that. "Talking about someone's error as you're making your own." That is kind of cool. In an ironic way.
