Thank you

Oh! My God. I love her. I love her so much. She is the most honest human being I have ever seen in my entire life. Her honesty lends a validation to my opinion about how life experiences shape what we end up being. Through her short life story here I have learned that buckling on my knees when pushed against the wall is the surest and easiest way to die. One has to fight with everything in him/her in order to remove the back from the wall. Wow! She is such an icon of true motherhood, grit, grace, wit, determination and frankness. All my students must meet her tomorrow.

It was wholesome watching Buchi Emecheta on this interview.

[@jamesakinade1258]

She's got a gorgeous smile. Quite an intelligent lady.

[@SisiLizzzyVlogs]

Nothing “Quite” she’s an intelligent lady.

[@CynthiaOnuorah_]

@@SisiLizzzyVlogsmy exact thought when I read that 😅

[@MaryOdere]

I love love her already. I'm definitely going to voraciously read her work

[@somkeneokeke7219]

hello Mary. were you able to find her books?

[@Mindmata]

Nigeria was a country…. She said her Nigerian secondary education was better than the supposedly top class education her children had in England… I weep for nigeria😅

[@daavikesedovo1188]

And I weep for Ghana and Africa as a whole...how things have deteriorated is just sad. Kwame Nkrumah and others must be turning in their graves.

[@marilyngentle2777]

Just seen this wonderful woman on BBC Four, why is her name not tripping off our lips like Shakespeare, I had neither heard or read her, I feel cheated, I will make up for it by reading and sharing far and wide. I commend her son for republishing her books, his mother was a pioneer, a brave woman, a relentlessly determined single mum. Wow. She would have been the most wonderful role model to hold up to a child of the 60s in schools, for me. I struggled when this patronising man during this interview told her to "try" to get more of a sense of humour "if you can". Literally typically showing his sexist views and lack of understanding of her books in the one sentence, whilst professing to be intelligent. Hmm.

[@ginaoj6072]

An Icon. I grew up reading her books. Respects

[@Nkeau5301]

We read her literature in secondary school. She's a legend in Nigeria just like chinua Achebe, whole Soyinka etc

[@Neesatou]

Very sexist comment

[@Nwabugwuv14]

1 billion question. I'm just hearing of her now, to be honest. Chai ndigbo has history 😅😅😅

[@Onemorebookpodcast.]

😂 I Love her. What a woman 🎉

[@famacham752]

Hello. I want to know what is Daily minders

[@omenalapress1031]

Hi Fama. A daily minder is a sort of 'nanny' who looks after small kids while their parents are away at work. They were common in late sixties and early seventies Britain. SO

[@tasha2972]

They are second mothers who replace your actual mother in a certain way when they are away
