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

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

I came across one of Chimamanda Adichie's novels by chance and since then, I've been reading her novels which I love very, very much. Kudos to you and may God help and protect you so that you will continue to achieve your goals more and more and more.

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...

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!

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

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!!

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
