It is this rousing talent that's turned Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie into a best-selling author, placing her in the top tier of not just African, but global writers, in the elite company of Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, J.K Rowling, Ken Follett, Dan Brown and Alicia Walker, to mention a few. To read her fiction is to experience an awakening...But the best part of it is she's Nigerian...The world burns bright as we tell the story of our special guest today, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

One can't help but notice how the loss of her parents has taken its toll on her. You hear the pain in her voice. I will definitely search for that book on grief and read it as I had lost my dad. She's a beautiful soul who has put this country at the limelight positively. I love her and I love her works.
minus the commercial interruptions & program limits, very nice interview!
This is the Number 1 Nigerian woman I can listen to all day without being bored. Those ones who call themselves celebrities are all rubbish. They should see the intellectuals accross the world who listen to the Young woman talk.. She is my Heroine..
This lady when ever I hear her talking, she remind me my little sister's dream when we were kids. she had a very big dream, she was talking about it all the time, but unfortunately my parents forced her into marriage. I am still remembering her dream, when she was standing in front of us and starting her speech for hours trying to convince my parents that she was going to change our neighborhood, the city,and the country.
Hmmmm
Tell your sister It's not too late, just start where you are at.
The introduction☺🔥💖.... Listening to Chimamanda is an awakening sort of therapy. She has set the bar for many around the world. She deserves a Nobel prize. 👍
I love how she controls what she chooses to answer
I am definitely in awe of the excellent delivery of Sir Charles in this interview. His voice, his constructions, his pitch and his depth make this interview a beautiful pot of soup.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, my condolences, ma'am. We celebrate your father!🥂
I have avoided all Chimamanda's tribute to her parents because my lil soft heart ❤ can't take it....now I'm sobbing because I couldn't avoid the piece she's talking about it.
So sad losing 2 parents so quickly 😢
The most talented, articulate writer of our times. 🏆
Great interview Arise. 🙏
I can legit listen to CNA talk all day. I love how articulate she is.
I could listen and watch Chimamanda all day, I fell in love with her half of a yellow sun, listened to her first Ted talk "the danger of a single story" and since then, I just watch everything Chimamanda. we are so proud of you Chimamanda, keep making us proud.
Chimamanda is the most well spoken person i have listened too for a while now. It's amazing how consistent she is.
Great interview Arise TV 👏👏👏
The number of times I've watched this interview is unhealthy. Loved every part of it! 👏👏
Biafra can never die. It is a spirit
I cannot think of anyone who could conduct thus interview better than Charles
I took my daughter to the library 2 weeks ago to go pick up the books she was suppose to read during this summer break and write on. I was surprised and excessively excited to note that one of them was a book by Chimamanda. My daughter just watched me with all smiles and not understanding why i was so excited. to cut the story short, i told her the writer was my sister period hehehehe !
I was particularly happy that it was available in the public library and was in the high school study curriculum. Yassss!
Hello, please kindly oblige me the info, which of her books is in the school's curriculum?
@@omosefeemokpae7172 it's titled "Purple Hibiscus"
Love the interviewer and Chiamamda well composed and command of laguage,awesome interaction between the two of them.I intended to see the video for just few minutes but stayed tuned till the end.
I totally agree
the one with ebuka is even better
Arise make una keep this interviewer o. I mean the brilliance of his questions, the epic scope of subjects covered and the really captivating projection of his voice o di gbam.
Thank you, my sister, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, for sharing this part of your life and a part of the Nigerian Biafra war. We need to know where we have come from and where we are going. Our sincere condolences to your parents that have passed away.
Am an ardent listener of Chimamanda speeches as transverse the globe,but this one interview has made me understand her more and giftedness she posseses.
I really wished he allowed her to finish talking about her hair. Awesome lady! I am not a writer but as I wrote my father’s funeral book for the family, I felt he was here with me. I wrote exactly as he would and when I read a part out loud at his funeral, people were astonished and told me that I am truly my father’s daughter. When I hear her talk, I am drawn in and it feels like she is my close relative. My heart bred when I heard of your grief one after another. May God continue to uphold you and your loved ones🙏🏽♥️. I love you. ♥️
Great interviewer. If only they can all be so respectful of and impassioned by their interviewee’s work. Chimamanda is brilliant.
She’s always well spoken. Nigeria is teeming with talents. The real deal for any intelligent country. That’s why it drives the world crazy we are where we are.
Our problem remains leadership. We’ve become a study in corruption.
Chimamanda has an amazing begining story
My dad was a biafran soldier during the war, he never talks about it.
It took my mom telling us for us to find out he was a biafran soldier. He does not like to talk about it, the only time he said something to me, he said Nna the trauma was too much and I don’t like to go there.
What a interview Ms Adichie for President
May your wonderful Parents RIEP
Charles Aniagolu what an interview that voice so similar to Sir Trevor McDonald
Brilliant interview 👏🏻as always Chimamanda, I never expect less, I love her clarity always, simple plain and very comprehendible, no uneccessary phonetics despite years in the states, keep shining ma, my condolences to you and the entire Adichie clan, one is never ready for these things, but it's inevitable, as all men shall go this path some day, be strong ma'am and be rest assured, ur parents are in a better place, may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercies of God continue to rest in peace 🕊️ Amen🙏🏻 Shalom!
Chimamamda, oyi nne ya, thanks for the blessing you have been to this generation. We are hugely proud of you.
What do the words on her top mean?
@@Felistuskay oyi nne ya, that is to say- the friend of her mother.
I think at this stage the impact of her work should be given More credence than her overt look. And I believe that's what she would really want.
This is One of the many patriotic Nigerian intellectuals that brought to limelight the perpetual ordeals of the Nigerian common man. It still disgusts me because after these years Nigeria is still crawling politicaly and economicaly amidst its wealth And glory. God keep u ma... U are An inspiration.
My love for you continues to grow Ngoo, Oyi nne ya!
Ya diri gi mma ada Igbo!
Knows when to stop talking. ......one of the greatest....💕💕💕💕
Two intellectual stalwarts.Proud of being feminist!
What an intelligent woman. Chukwu gozie gi!
This woman’s literary work truly is priceless. NOTES ON GRIEF is gut-wrenching but AMERICANAH is the greatest novel ever written by an African writer and one of the finest novel ever written by anyone anywhere. There I said it. HALF OF A YELLOW SUN is also great and may have had more critical acclaim but as far as I’m concerned, as a reader and a small time novelist myself, AMERICANAH is next level great. Readers should also check ZIKORA which a masterpiece of a short story in my opinion.
Americanah greater than Things Fall Apart for you? Interesting opinion.
Yes, it is greater than THINGS FALL APART in my honest opinion. Of course, TFA is more influential but AMERICANAH’s storyline is actually more interesting (you can barely put it down) and better written, in my opinion. I believe that AMERICANAH is a sure shot neo-classic.
@@jdnwritingmachine i respect your opinion.
@@jdnwritingmachine interesting review, please who authored *ZIKORA*?
Always lovely to listen to her ❤ An icon
You noticed how she pronunced "IGBO" she pronunced it as exactly as it should be pronunced.
I am deeply associated with her style of writing and storytelling.She is indeed a pen goddess. I so much admire you CNA.Much love from here.
Oh Chima... May the souls of your parents Rest In Peace. I never knew about the loss.😞
You are great as usual
I don't know if I was the only one that noticed how dull Aunty Chimamanda looked in this video😢... I can't say I relate to how devastated you are right now... but I pray you find the strength to pull through each passing day. I love you to bits MAMA😢 Please be strong for me. Jidesie obi gi Ike Adaobododike
You're right. It looks like she'd been crying earlier.
That's how she speaks
This was a brilliant conversation.
Otito diri Nna, na Nwa, na Muo Nso,
otu odi na izizi na kita, n'ekpo nine n'uwa ebebe.
Amen.
I have read three of her books and watch one movie of her book half of the yellow sun. Good stuff.
We are proud of you Ada igbo.
Aww Chi chi, what an amazing speaker. My condolences for your loss❤️❤️
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BUY ALL HER PUBLISED BOOKS. WHERE WILL I GET THEM
@@ifeanyianekwe1659 Of course, Amazon will do them!
I enjoyed every bit of the interview. The flow was superb. Interviewer loaded with sufficient adjectives that made Chimamanda smile. Condolences to your family.
Thank you for sharing your failures 20:30. Nigeria is lacking models and the 2-minutes noodles crew want to tell us otherwise. Nothing comes easy. Hardwork and persistence pays.
I luv u Oyi Nne ya 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
May your name strengthen you in every area of your life even as you continue to do exploits to the glory of God Almighty through Christ our Lord amen. I celebrate you dear. You are a strong "history" to look forward to
When it comes to interviewing give to Charles Aniagolu.
You're an Icon Dear Ngọzi.
You inspire me a lot
A great writer

Love 💘 love love you.... the way you promo your culture with poise is 💞💞💞💞
I'm working on her novel the purple hibiscus. I'm writing a comparative essay between that novel and chinwa achebe 's things fall apart. I loved it
We love you sister Chi Chi.
Onyiri Nneya ❤
She is amazing
I love mr Albert already! He is now my fav designer 😂
Always lovely to listen to her ❤❤❤
Brilliant interview. Brilliant CNA.
This interview was riveting!
Charles Aniagolu - please is it too much to ask that you speak like a nigerian, just like Chimamanda? Wherever she goes, she speaks the same way.
Love you Chim
Yet,this is the kind of people that are born to be ruled by State-less Fulanis.Britain,Una no go make heaven.God must surely pay you back.After Zik got independence to Nigeria then he became a nobody to Amadu Bello/Tafawa Balewa courtesy of the British.Dismemberment of UK would not be enough to heal our heart ache.
C.N.A ❤
Remarkable lady!
Iconic.
Be strong Chimamanda
I doff my hat on your behalf, ma'am!
Great interview
Great interview, daalu NNE.

I liked it before listening 🎧 😂 Odeluwa
I feel some how when Nigerian names which has meaning are pronounced in such a way that not only it loses the meaning but mean nothing. We follow foreigners to kill our names.
Chimamanda is an igbo name. It is Chim amanda not Meaning, my God will never fail.
I appreciate you adding the meaning. Many will be named after her.
The only person i have respect for from Arise tv
ADA IGBO....... MY GREETINGS 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This interview!!!!
I’m so sorry for your loss Chimamanda, the pain must be excruciating losing both parents in such a short space of time. Praying for healing of your heart ♥️. The interviewer didn’t get the chance to ask how her mother died. Was it due to the loss of her husband?
It was quite a sudden death from a very brief illness, and it also appears that her mother's treatment was mismanaged, as a doctor transferred her to a very poorly equipped hospital where her condition quickly deteriorated and she passed away. Chimamanda talks at length about it in a recent podcast she did with Elizabeth Day, it's called 'How to Fail'.
@@jareya thanks for your response. Will check out the podcast, very sad indeed
Wow, what a captivating interview. She got me hooked listening to her and still can't get enough.
We would say she's MORE {OYI RI NNA YA} 70% Nna Ya & 30% Nne Ya.
😇👼.
What does oyi nne ya means?
It means "Her mother's friend "
@@Amakatee thanks
Insightful
Mr Charles... your full name does not appear? Thank God for google #charles #arisetv 😶
Equality, to me means equal opportunities. For us, we are raising our daughter to be a lady. She aspires to be a lawyer, but she will still be a lady to her future man.
Only in educationally endemic environments like the South East, can you have this,not in crisis-ridden Fulani environment.
LOL. Can you have what?
Must ethniced everything? Thats uncalled foe bro!..
Let's enjoy and appreciate excellence with all these sentiments. ....
Dont forget she is now American, she was Nigerian
How ?because if change of location
Oyi Nne Ya - those of you who are Igbo - does this have anything to do with her mom? what does it mean?
Yeah it means my mother's friend
It means her mother’s look alike
"OYI NNE YA" means someone who looks or resemble his or her mother Or her mother's look alike. I think yes, it has something to do with the mother.
I AM READING THE COMMENT BUT ONLY PEOPLE FROM SOUTHERN NIGERIA ARE COMMENTING. NO NORTHERNER WHY? LOL
Always the case, sadly!
There’s a certain closeness of mind that has become a characteristic feature of those parts, especially these days. Such terrible self-inflicted insularity of mind, I say.
You’d think they don’t value such outstanding talents, until one of theirs appears on the horizon, which southerners wouldn’t hesitate to equally eulogise, especially, for the sake of associated prowess. Why not?
However, I must point out that I detect a certain trend, to totally ‘Igbonise’ and essentially claim her, which I detest. Let her be the Nigerian and world figure she has become through her dint of hard work and remarkable brilliance. We all know she has an Igbo root. But she mustn’t be gagged and stunted with it!
She has attained the status of a world writer. She must be allowed to flourish on that stage, to the glory of all.
LordMother m
It is a shame she talks about the kidnap at 34:00. A big shame to our politicians. 18 years ago, this was a taboo in Nigeria. Shame on you politicians that want to lead us but can't provide jobs, security, food for the people. Shame on you all
The interview felt so rushed.
Thought 'manicure' had to do with treatment of hands and nails????
Therapeutic.
Uncle anchorman, allow her to talk and stop with the long ass intro
Is this Lady married?
How does that even relate to the video
She is married.
@@temitopeoketikun1379 Let Patrick be, jare! He’s looking for a wife, a made, beautiful wife😀!
Yes
Mba, she's waiting for you.
FBI espoused Abba Kyari /Hushpuppi . What about the Army boss that was collecting money from HAMISU WADUME the kidnapper to provides protection for hem and his gang , and even killed 4 police officers just to set a criminal free? Do we need FBI for the police officers to get justice?
Thank God for people like you that don't forget things easily. Hamisu Wadume has been forgotten by the media, just like that. The link between politicians and terrorists, just ignored and case closed. That army officer's name was Tijani or something like that.
@@wolfswinkel8906 God bless people like you that believes in truth and justice.
Why "International Author" Can't she be an African author or a Nigeria author or even better an Igbo author. Does it bother you to be African and talented?
She actually is international because she is recognized not just in Nigeria.
They mean international because she’s lived abroad in America since 19. Of course she will always be Igbo/African first.
