Igbo Nigerian writer Chimanda Adichie, has mentioned 4 writers whom she said inspired her to go into writing. From what she said, if not for these writers, we wouldn’t be blessed with such interesting books as Half Of A Yellow Sun and Americana. Speaking at the Face Of Okija beauty pageant, she said; "Igboland produced great writers, if Chinua Achebe, Flora Nwapa and Chi Emecheta and Chukwuemeka Nkem had not written the books they did, when and how they did, I would not have had the emotional courage to write my own books and so today I honor them and I stand respectfully in their shadow."

martineverest: Bro, that's the sad truth. That's how most Igbos see other Nigerians. Igbos and others. Chinua Achebe carried this same bitterness in him and that's why he wrote the last piece of trash he wrote. In fact, GEJ was so pissed that he didn't give Chinua Achebe a state burial and Chinua was buried like a dog. Do you know that till today, as eternally stupid as it sounds, most Igbos still blame Soyinka for not allowing Chinua Achebe win a Nobel. One was arguing with me last year that Achebe didn't win a Nobel cos he supported Biafra. I had to remind him the Soyinka supported Biafra and in fact, was jailed for supporting Biafra. As at when Soyinka was jailed for Biafra, Chinua Achebe was travelling around the world, sleeping with college girls in America. Chumamanda is just a chip off the old block: clannish, tribalistic, bitter and frustrated feminist. 38 Likes 4 Shares |

Logical, her writings are beautifully nuanced with Igbo traditions. Forget Wole Soyinka; when it comes to telling a beautiful story, Prof doesn't really come close to any of 'em. From the dawn of time, the Igbos have always been great storytellers, while the Yorubas on the other hand, extremely excellent poets. 59 Likes 5 Shares |
