Damn! I'm impressed. She does have a salient point. Feminism should be encouraged. Btw, why should a woman change her name because of marriage? Is she a property? |

One of your staunchest supporter here is very disappointed. There is nothing wrong in a woman addressing herself as WIFE. Absolutely nothing. Heed the advice of the people. You cannot be right all the time. 5 Likes |

oyb:First you can't call me son because I'm not your son. Secondly this is not someone else calling Hilary Clinton a wife and mother. She described herself that way in her own bio!! What's so difficult for you to understand that she has a right to do so. Thirdly, enough of the personal attacks, I do know the things I stand for and they inform my opinions daily, if I took exception to Obama's sodomy as described in the thread I commented on, does that then mean he must be a bad human being in every aspect of his life? I've seen a lot of humans to know that nobody is completely bad or good so I've learnt to judge matters as they've been presented in the case at hand. I've had cause to praise chimamanda on other matters just as I totally condemn what she did in this matter, yeah, I condemned Obama's sodomy but I had reason to support him against Hilary in the dems2008 primary and against McCain and Romney in the general elections and the same Clinton I'm defending now, I've also had cause to condemn over many other issues. I don't pre judge people before hearing their case because of pre conceived notions I have about them, something you clearly have a problem doing. I repeat, Enough of the personal attacks, i don't want to roll that way this morning 2 Likes 1 Share |

nkemdi89: Its Mrs Clinton not miss Clinton. Her success is not tied to her husband, she started politics before her husband bill and she was already successful before he became president. What ruined her chances was her roles in Libya, private server scandal, donations from Saudia Arabia and of course when she said she will issue no fly zone in Syria which meant an all out war with Russian. She didn't lost because she was a woman or because of her husband was a former POTUS but because she had a lot of skeletons in closet. Clinton has achieved what so many men can't in this life, if a former FLOTUS, senator and secretary of state decides to identify as wife first its her business. Chiammanda asked a very stupid question and deserves the bashing. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Adichie has started pushing this line of feminism bull-sh*t. Looks like all is not too well with her home. In today's western world, where divorce date is speculated on the wedding day, i still give props to the likes of Hilary who stood with her man despite all the Monica sex scandal. 2 Likes |

[quote author=nkemdi89 post=67008948] What makes the question inappropriate? Adiche asked an honest question from her opinion, I see reason with her, because many of us attached miss Clinton success to her husband and same with her mistake, it also contributed in ruining her chances in the last election, even here in Nigeria most of us were not in support of her because she was once a first lady and we felt going to the white house as President was not proper. Just that the word feminism choke most men. Adiche I know will never change her opinion on any issues she has raised voice about, that doesn't make her right neither does it make her wrong, but people are quick to condemn.[talk about the tribalism part, and stop beating around the bush..you're obviously a tribal bigot. ] |

eezeribe: Hillary didn't use to bear her husband's name, she didn't use to act like the typical, traditional 'wife' in the way some people think of the word. Didn't make her any less of a wife. But if she had to identify as a wife during her campaign for POTUS, then, it is a question that Ngozi Adichie asked. II. Being married to an 'influential' is not the definition of success of woman. You marry who you love not who is more successful. Is Donald Trump a little less successful because Melania is not as influential as Michelle? III. Is the strength of a man truly measured in making his wife 'bear' his last name? And youre making 'carrying' a surname an honour and a burden at the same time. Which is it? Am I lucky to be deemed worthy to bear the name of an 'Influential' man, or a man is to weak to force me to 'carry' hi surname? IV. It was an innocent discussion Similar to one I'll have with a male acquaintance that would have never been caught dead listening to Hip-Hop that suddenly pays billions to attend to Kanye West show in Dubai suddenly because he is to running for senator in a predominantly African American district. Is it your choice or are you doing this to be more relatable to your voters? Chimamanda is one of the loudest mouth in the topic of Nigerian Feminism and most nigerians see a swipe at her as a slap against the face of all feminist in Nigeria else I don't understand the reason for the whole vibration and mountain out of the little mole hill. 2 Likes |

She really sounds annoying and too opinionated in this epistle. Did you guys notice she used the words "Lazy" and "Intellectually Lazy" in her write up? That speaks volume of her mindset. She obviously is in sync with Nigerian news and just threw a shade concurring with Adeshina and co. I really have stopped liking her from now on. Lol. Like say she sabi me. 5 Likes |

eezeribe: Wow� Do you Know Chimandas future. I'm sure that if you had met Obama before he became president you won't have reckoned with him. You would have called him a nobody. You would have said he will never become a president of the US. Today you insult Chimandas husband because he is man enough to allow his wife shine like the diamond she is. Chimanda is a proud wife who has reached a height that we dream of. We pray to get there and maybe surpass that. But here you are playing petty. A typical myopic Nigerian who is always ready to trample on the success of other Nigerians. I am so ashamed of you right now. Forget all the likes you got. It just shows that your thinking is totally mediocre. 3 Likes |

Let me ask you, what impact has your opinion about her made? none If I want to be petty,I can equally say that you are a nobody as far as Chimamanda is concerned. But I won't.
