Thank you Chimamanda Adichie for this inspiring lecture. You are not only an African, you are also a global citizen. I couldn't be more prouder of my Nigerian sister.
Never met a speaker so real and i can relate to what she is talking about,how she says it ....she talks like a big sister ,a mother and a fierce writer.The world is blessed to hear and read your books.such an inspiration.
A beautiful woman indeed. The luscious directness of her words is simply inspiring. I am intrigued as well as very fortunate to be a part of a generation that can experience Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. More grease
Who new Africa will have their own mouthpiece after it was ravaged by colonialism? Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche is one of the best African voices, rewriting our history, telling our human stories and changing how Africa was lebelled by those who has the power to tell our stories negatively.
This woman is extraordinary, with no colonizer name, narration, or attire, and she never tried to be like someone else either……authentic.
One of my favourite speechs of Her. A rare Authour and intellectual. SZx
Chimanda, you are a blessing to the world.. Fantastic speech, I am proud of you..

WoW! My love for Nigeria wouldn’t decrease n Africa as a whole. Thanks ma’am
What a powerful force. Although I am a scientist, I too am drawn to stories about people, and not science fiction, as I use these stories to mentally travel the world.
Always proud of her
I just arrive now to listen to this lecture presented by Mrs Chimamada Nogozi. Truly I appreciate how she told the truth in front of the Bristsh people , without fear of any form. And how she depicted the truth about African culture and the ways we the African are still been imaginalize untill this present time. N.F.C is my Name (2022)
it is so good that I would listen to it again again and again.
Men who were honourable discuss not race, beastial sex and inconsequential issues. CHIMAMANDA is an epitome of beauty for respected and honourable men with a heart of pure human feeling. Thank you CHIMAMANDA for making Igbo nation proud.
A good writer reads extensively! I'm not surprised she has read so so many books.
She's really extraordinary intellectual. She's awesomely brilliant! She's my favourite author.
i love the simplicity of her written yet very deeply meaningful
Not all heros wear capes. I would be so honored to hear her speak in person one day.
I just love this author and her everything.... When is she comming to Germany?????
"Don't you dare believe other people's story of you">>> Can never be tired of listening to you. You are an inspiration. God bless you sisi!!!
My role model,you are amazing!
This woman is magnificent, a demonstration of African excellence, I have a great admiration for her.
I am a proud Nigerian! Love Ngozi Adichie! No limits my love keep going!
absolutely brilliant!!
@32.50, she nailed the British nicely there! What an honor for Chimamanda! Watching this right now, and I am so proud of this girl from Nsukka, Nigeria. It is good to have something good come out of Nigeria other than daily bad news...Excellent lecture too!
Wow, Ms Adichie's classic, unadulterated Nigerian accent is just too much! She's such a wonderful ambassador!
Awesomeness speech my sister Chimamanda, l real adore listen attentively to your speeches and quotes from other writers. You are well grounded in mind. Thanks once again. Keep up the great work.
engaging, thoughtful, and well-spoken. Thank you
Chimamanda you represent highest quality of human expression. You're so real and beautiful
She has an imperial command of the English language both in speech and writing.
Breath taking and beautiful
I love her already. I was afraid initially. But God she gave a mind blowing lecture. It was interesting, wise and funny. Stimulating all your senses and imagination. She truly is a gifted writer and speaker
Whenever I listen to her, it is such a breath of fresh air! Her deep understanding, analysis and explanation of the issues she dissects is just simply amazing.

Her beauty is unquestionable but her depths of analysis and complex reasoning is what intrigues me and what will eventually leave the most lasting legacy in our world. I am proud to have experienced her, and share in her quest to help us minimize our need to create stories and stereotypes to understand people and situations, but to carefully realize that we are never getting the full story of a person, people or situation all the time. Her writing compels us to look deeper...and accept
Addi Casseus Great!
I still love every bit of her story and the world need this story even if u cant personaly hear them no more. Its not for u pls
Her words do reflect a kind of 'Silent Truth', speaking volumes.
I'm surpised to see how especially in the 'commonwealth' people of that
common history as my Namibian self relate to her 'nigerian story'.
Its a bit more an 'Africa story...'
Really I see it as a 'Human Story'
The necessary half of a long spoken story
One word...Beautiful!
my favourite author!
Masha Allah thank you so much all leaders in this in this complex I I greet everyone to be finish our program to be a well goat check back to with happiness I grade all my family people our country god bless all of you Ada glory thank you so assalam

Thanks a lot for awesome speech.
Here I thought it was just my somali family that would cheer the African teams in the world cup lol but also after the african teams are gone we cheer for the teams with the most africans or at least those that field them.
Humanity should be proud of these right here..!
She is the real deal. Prolific and Inspiring.
totally love this lady's sentiments!
So after Chimamanda spoke for almost an hr about important topics, the guy who came after said what he values most about Chimamanda was her YOUTH! insulting much!
I don't know why but I really like listening to her.
the 77 dislikes are from those who never got their books published
I love this.
More power to your elbow, my sister.No, doubt you are a good ambassador of Africa.
She is a deep thinker...long live chimanmanda
OMG She is cool. I have been dying to see and hear her speak. This young wordsmith is simply cool
Chimamanda is a blessing to the world.
