I arrive early to meet Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Nigerian-American writer, feminist, author of Americanah. Her home, just outside Baltimore, looks Scandinavian somehow amid the snow crust and woodland. Adichie is mid-photoshoot, but the stylist shows me through to the kitchen, telling me to help myself to roast chicken and rice. At a desk in the corner, Adichie’s nine-year-old daughter is wearing headphones and absorbed in what looks like homework. In the middle of the room, watched over by a nanny, are two smiling, 10-month-old boys, one sitting in an activity centre, shrieking with joy, the other gnawing a toy.

See them useless APC RoNu agbero saying thrash here

But go on the other thread on FP about the kidnapping and murders along Ondo Airport Road and see that NO SINGLE ONE OF THEIR VOICES CAN BE SEEN ON THAT PARTICULAR THREAD

Anything that has to do with the igbos makes them have huge turgid erections

RoNu F00ls

Demons of babablu commenting rubbish.

So many journalists in the country and all they do is follow brown envelope politicians. Nobody does investigative reports.

Intelligent lady...

Very decent lady.
Unlike the slay leg chain wearing girls we have all over the place.

She is not a feminist.

Feminism is her selling point because under that umbrella are millions of gullible women that can't decipher that they are being played by their kind. They are the customers
