I get always captivated and inspired each time I listened to amazingly graceful stories. Lots of motivations, my Chi (my God-Creator) never fails. More grace and God's protections🙏❤
Yes! Books are always more interesting than it's movies ......I enjoyed reading the book "half of a yellow sun" than it's movie.....i think the movie tries to condition one's mind to setting character but books makes the fantasy go wild.
From St. Lucia in the Caribbean i can relate. We were not taught in our mother language patios. English only and when i listen to stories from my elders they were not allowed to speak creole. I am improving on my creole now however i mix it quite a bit at times with the the english. You have really brought that emotional feeling within me and i clearly see what you have said. From now on when i look at my elders converse the ones who never went to school, i realize our colonizers stripped away a part of us our beautiful language.
Sometimes, we as people are too busy looking down that we forget to look up and see the Stars; to see the light that they are giving us , that , even though in darkness, we may see light. There she is, one of my favorite stars: Chimamanda💜🌟,,, Shining her light on the dark parts of our minds
She is also one the most beautiful woman in the world . Our Catholica names had very little to do with English . It iwa s being dedicated to a saint in the Catholic Church as a Christian identification . That was amazing
@dollarmakana4969 Get some of her books, and begin to read them. Have your dictionary with you to check strange words. Sometimes, watch her speeches on TH-cam. And gradually you will get there
I experienced what she is talking about in that same catholic on the UNN campus. Those men who checked the ladies' dressing were called JPDC. It was honestly terrifying for me too. Also, when my parents passed, Catholic Church in my hometown, Awka, Anambra state, Nigeria did this heavy levying. They ended up not burying my father because they claimed it was passed 3 months after his demise, even as we had already buried him and only wanted the funeral rites done. Leave, the claim that they're universal is only in celebration of masses and money generation.
But Purple Hibiscus was political. The plot is built around politics. I saw the father's character as representative of a prevalent hypocrisy (social and political) that is very much alive in African societies. The colonial effect is inescapable in that book! The Catholic Church in Cameroon doesn't issue those levies. She's right about Peter Obi. I was fortunate to meet him in London last year. Very humble man!
While appreciating your true talent and unrelenting effort to always tells the world about Africa and Nigeria in particular. But one thing I'm still battling to convince myself about you is your stereotype attitude of marginalising Nigeria as a nation of only Christian Igbos, most, if not all of your stories about Nigeria centered on Christian Igbos, a community which is indeed a minor Nigerian community and not a true reflection of Nigeria as a whole.
Who else is cared for this man? the interviewer. He tries an awful lot to sound brilliant. I find his speech so uninteresting. And he's quite slow in the rendition. Don't get me wrong, he might actually deserve his honors, but honestly he shouldn't host stuff like this. More so, he's questions are too long and end up badly put.
I felt outrage that he believed he had a better story about Achebe than Adichie's. Chimamanda proved to be far emotionally intelligent than he could ever dream.
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.
If you disagree with her, write your own story, publish your own books and earn a world wide platform to correct the things you referred to as shallow in her address. I seriously doubt if you can achieve all that. Great minds don't pull successful people down, only career jealous filled minds do that and I believe without even knowing who you are and I don't even want to know you, belong to the latter class. I wonder how all you took away from her lecture was I, me and myself despite the effort you made to sound intelligent by your comment. How much does the west know about Africa? How deeply do the west care about a place they call the dark continent? Personal stories as examples in a lecture or an address resonate across the world all the time; if they can find a resemblance or similarity with other people's stories no matter how remotely connected by experience or knowledge. If you were intelligent, you would know that the theme, the topic or the subject of an address suggests the kind of narrative that constitutes the speaker's body talk. Did you come expecting her to talk about fashion, cuisine , astrology and astronomy? I too sabi dey worry you as we say in Nigerian pidgin english.
Lol. This must be the second or third time I would come across your nonsense in different videos of Chimamanda. Looks like you are a troll. Get yourself a job and make a better use of your time.
@olivier Which culture??? Yours? You're the embarrassment. All these lectures are meant to be personal. These are not meant to be didactic lectures. Did you even listen to the introduction?
She's The Pride of Africa! We appreciate you Chimamanda💖💯
God please gift me a girlchild 🙏.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will be her role model for life. I love her❤
The excellence in her speech it's something I'll always look forward to ❤
Chimamanda always has a way of getting her audience and listening captivated; she drives her messages forcefully and clearly in a subtle manner.
Chimamanda's voice is eloquently resounding as it is reassuring
There's no better way to spend my time than listennin to such a human marvel👏🏾
I have always looked for opportunity to attend lectures like this
I can listen to this woman all day, such a phenomenal and inspiring woman!
Listening to you while getting ready for an important meeting today. Let my chi and the chi of Chimamanda protect me this morning 🙏
The more I watch her, the more I get inspired.
I get always captivated and inspired each time I listened to amazingly graceful stories.
Lots of motivations, my Chi (my God-Creator) never fails.
More grace and God's protections🙏❤
Yes! Books are always more interesting than it's movies ......I enjoyed reading the book "half of a yellow sun" than it's movie.....i think the movie tries to condition one's mind to setting character but books makes the fantasy go wild.
I totally loved the conversation. She's obviously polished and captivating.
Always love listening to Chimamanda ❤
Chimamanda is always inspiring and soothing to listen to.
I can listen to woman all day. Her voice is even more resounding than her writings.
Chimanda, you speak so well. You are so captivating . I have made you my role model.
From St. Lucia in the Caribbean i can relate. We were not taught in our mother language patios. English only and when i listen to stories from my elders they were not allowed to speak creole.

Am not tire listening to her over and over again.
Sometimes, we as people are too busy looking down that we forget to look up and see the Stars; to see the light that they are giving us , that , even though in darkness, we may see light. There she is, one of my favorite stars: Chimamanda💜🌟,,, Shining her light on the dark parts of our minds
Yesterday, I decided to unbusy myself today. And voila, the algorithm suggested her speech in Germany. Finished with that, I choose this one.

İ wish i couldn't understand English to listen to her voice. She has a nice rhythm like places that remind me of home.
We love you CHIMAMANDA ❤❤❤
Love love love this!!!
An excellent lady, always.
I love how she says it without saying it. The Samuel Beckett comparison is powerful.
Love Chimamanda. I can relate to her.
Ada Nne well done, God bless you plenty
Beautiful.
Odeluwa 🔥
I experienced what she is talking about in that same catholic on the UNN campus. Those men who checked the ladies' dressing were called JPDC. It was honestly terrifying for me too.

Leave, the claim that they're universal is only in celebration of masses and money generation.
She is an inspiration
I love you so much ma, I so much covet the you speak ma.
Moderator did a lot of talking himself.
I thought I was the only having the same thought. At some point I was like can you keep quiet?
Brilliant!!!
The interviewer shouldn't have invited Adichie if he knew all. He spoke too much!
Skip Intro?? 9:06 Welcome
I love you Ngozi
Chimamanda is the best
You always bring excellence!
Sending to Chimamanda ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤Odeluwa
Odelụ Ụwa jisike 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I mean CNA is too! 😌🤭
Genius
Pls, how can I gain admission into this prestigious varsity through scholarship?
Chimqmanda is that WOMAN
The moderator did not allow her to exhaust her points on her stand on Christianity
❤❤❤
How was he allowed to keep a hat on his head ?
This lady is super intelligent

You are a terrible being. Go and tell your own stories

I'm not sure how I feel about her since those transphobic comments

@@Train-mo2rj You took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you! I really want to know how he came to that after this lecture

@olivier Which culture??? Yours? You're the embarrassment. All these lectures are meant to be personal. These are not meant to be didactic lectures. Did you even listen to the introduction?
These are the kind of arguments she would love to get in and in the manner in which you handled this misinterpretation makes me smile
