[@icecalibre3895]

God bless you. Exactly what came to my mind while watching Chimamanda. She's the only next prominent celeb that comes close. I would give anything to see Ebuka get her to this comfortable level to spill some of those things she's denied us because of her very private lifestyle.

[@kennyu2073]

“Kainene’s story” in Half of a yellow sun makes sense to so many Igbo families. My mom’s handsome young brother disappeared in the war. They waited for over 20 years before they finally assumed him dead and had funeral rites for him. It’s a lot of people’s reality.

[@Justhumane9]

Sorry about that bro... Almost every igbo family have a similar story

[@olufunkeidowu9931]

So sad. I cannot imagine the emotional trauma. Why is the nigerian story not told in schools? Why is the biafra war not a major historical story to be told in schools? I worry that we have refuse to face the past and correct the mistakes so we can find true peace for all Nigerians. We need to tell our stories to the generations to come

[@obioguh1494]

Olufunke Idowu because history is always written or in this case rewritten by the victors . History taught in our schools today is a joke and that is why we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes and cycles that keep us ignorant. It’s not education it is indoctrination. Stadiums and landmarks are named after genocidal murderers. That’s why its important we tell our own stories.

[@ogomokpala6961]

I totally agree with you Chimamanda. It's time you start addressing a lot of misconception about your beliefs. Nigerian journalism is so unprofessional, choosing sensationalism over facts. Just like Chinua Achebe said "Until the Lion gets his own historian,the story of the hunt will always favour the hunter" .

[@marcelmbamalu5107]

That quote is apt

[@marcelmbamalu5107]

Yes, even Wole Soyinka often come out gun blazing to rubbish some news about him and set the record straight. It is for the sake of posterity. Majority of Nigerians do not have the kind of education and exposure that can make one discern between facts and rubbish. Chimamanda therefore need to come out from time to time to clear the air.

Her voice trailed as she spoke about her father. May his soul rest in peace.

The quiet authority and confidence Chimamanda exudes is awe inspiring. This is a beautiful interview 💕💕

[@AbumereDotCom]

What she said about bride price yeah, it makes TOO MUCH SENSE. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 And I see how Nigerians/Africans can easily mislabel that as “new age feminism”. Chimamanda is an global treasure. 🥇

[@TemsD]

As in eh too much sense. Women are not property to be bought with a price to show they can now be brides/'kept'. Plus Men aren't ATMs. And just because a man/some men can even afford these hefty "bride prices" doesn't connote that he is 'fit' to be a good husband and father

[@AbumereDotCom]

[@thephenomenal_vickie]

Chimamanda captured my mind about the Biafra agitation. With the kind of leaders we have in the South-East, I find it difficult to believe that there will be Biafra. And then the big question "where will the border be?"

[@thefellownse]

That part hit me real hard!

[@justiceasha2119]

that's the fact

[@certifiedmicronaut4901]

The leaders were handpicked by the north. Like the Supreme Court governor. If they’re not, they are still subservient to the north, so they don’t get prosecuted for their corruption.

Truly people didn't tell us what really happen. Truth is war is painful and very painful to talk about. My father fought on the Nigerian side, he doesn't really talk in details about it. But I tell you he never watch war movies, i guess it triggers memory, painful ones. But truthfully, that Generation needs to tell us what and how it happened

[@ogomokpala6961]

It was a big tragedy. Silence was that generation's way of dealing with the trauma and pains. But I agree with you. They need to talk about it because it has continued to shape our life as a nation. So much suspicion and lack of unity of purpose is dragging us back as a nation. The level of unpatriotism is mad.

[@obidikeuchechukwu6095]

Yes same here My uncle fought in the war but the only tale he will tell you is how he lost a toe but never his full experience of the war

[@habibaherojeagbabiaka2318]

@@ogomokpala6961 we may never know what happened as most of that generation are either dead or very old. I don't even think they want to right their wrong. We are a very diverse people and I hope this generation will try to harness this diversity positively rather than letting unfounded suspicion and so much of negative tribalism ruin everything

Omo, I enjoyed this! And learnt a lot too. One thing about Chimamanda is honesty. Even when she could have said the most "appeasing" or "pleasant" thing, she still chose honesty. That's very virtuous. I also like her perspectives drawn from her understanding of mortality. My condolences on your losses, Chimamanda. Thank you for a truly beautiful and fun interview!

You can tell Ebuka is so smitten and adores Chimananda Ngozi Adichie. I was once a reader but I'm so ashamed I haven't read any of her books but starting tomorrow I will pick up purple hibiscus and start there. It was such a fun interview btw. I enjoyed every bit of it. Ebuka did a fabulous job

[@emmanuelossai750]

Chimamanda was the least person I expected to see on this platform, I initially thought the platform was only exclusive to creatives in the music space - of the entertainment industry. However, this was very edifying, entertaining, insightful, unique and a little bit emotional. Indeed, Chimamanda is a gift to many generations. She is highly principled, meticulous and knows her onions. She touched on something I say to a lot of people, which is the fact that Igbo people will never unite if granted Biafra. That's the bitter truth. The clash of interest will be on another level. It will fail before it even starts. She really spoke well and Ebuka did well with the interview sessions as usual. I particularly liked how he respected the fact that she did not want to disclose certain things. It is her life at the end of the day and clout chasing isn't everyone's cup of tea. I totally enjoyed this. Kudos to the entire team, for this very unique initiative.

[@nzubeejimone9435]

I loved this interview, I always love to hear chimamanda speak, however, I feel Ebuka should have let her speak more, he intercepted her comments and interfered with some of her thought process.. I want to hear her choose her words and hear her literally pick the words she want, I also want to hear her really deep conversations irrespective of how many of those kind of interview she had given... She is an intellectual with an amazing mind, and that's the conversation I want... Am I the only one who thinks these?... Lots of applaud in the comment section..

Ebuka, I always enjoy your interviews, from your days on The Spot, and as many have mentioned you are a skilful interviewer. This is the third instalment of this show that I’ve seen (Tiwa Savage, Falz and now Chimamanda) and I must say they are wonderful and the way you draw out information from your guests is simply a skill that you have honed over time. Quick suggestion though, if possible please provide closed captions to interpret some of the things said in our Nigerian languages, first for some of us who don’t speak or understand that language and for the foreigners watching too. And this goes for all the Nigerian languages, including pidgin. It’s just so all viewers can take in all that is being said. Thanks for the great work! Absolutely no mediocrity here 😃
