DeeMain: Nonesense..And the whole world knows Hilary is married and the Media addresses her as MRS.. All these feminists always finding fault where there is none..The other day I even saw where they were trying to stop calling a woman by the tag woman and trying to give another appellation to it.. You people will just kill ur selves Danu.. Women rights are being trampled upon in the middle east..little girls are raped in India. .etc..we won't hear their voices na nonesense things them go dey fight against. . Shioor 1 Like 1 Share |

emrain: I wonder. People just do stuff without checking the origins Do people actually know the origins of changing surnames, or the culture it originated from ![]() Though I did not like how Adiche handled the issue of wife and all (comparing her husband's page with her own) I still think that a lot of men running their mouth do so out of insecurity. Joke Silva and Olu Jacobs have been married for donkey years, has their marriage collapsed? what of Wendy Williams? or Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker? People hyperventilating over frivolous things |

I am glad you agree with what I wrote but I don't agree with yours. Hillary is a proud wife of an influential man. She is also an influential woman. Michelle Obama is also a proud wife of an ex president and likewise a successful woman. Both women independently of their husbands have achieved a lot in their personal and professional lives. Their husbands need not be influential for them to be proud wives. Chimamanda's husband is not weak or less of a man because he is not influential and his wife is not bearing his surname. If we that were the case, I would ask you who the hell you are to criticise Arichie when you haven't achieved half of what she has achieved wven though you are a man But I beg to differ becausr these points simply do not matter. They are not addressing the issue. eezeribe: |

nkemdi89:Lol...the way some of you people confidently say some nonsense and lies is very amazing.......many whites and other races also blasted her often,infact many whites were usually accused of racism whenever they go against her opinion and her fans think they disagree with her because she is black......you people with inferiority complex will jusy sit down at one self contain and be condemning your fellow people because of your ass worshipping mentality.....the fact is adichie goofed this time around,she telling hillary clinton why she had “wife” on her bio on social media is totally wrong,it is funny how some people think that because she is a successful writer then she can never be wrong for once??really?? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Kumar4india: I guess she just like to play the devil's advocate. She likes to unsettle nerves The bitter truth is we are all gender biased from cradle to grave. Give you an example: " if I tell you that one of my parent is a fighter Jet Pilot you would automatically think am talking about my Father " That is how everyone if us arrogate unhealthy superior being to the male folks |

Himmler:Really enjoying your back and forth with the other Nairalander.. Your comeback on the "son" descriptor is spot on. In addition, the analogy holds no water in the context of the matter at hand. Being a proud "Wife" or "Mother" is a choice and in many societies(eg. America), the recognized platform through which you become either or both is the institution of marriage(ofcourse with exceptions). My point is that being tied to a partner and having children is an act of "will" whereas being/becoming a BIOLOGICAL "son" or "daughter" is not a choice and hence its irrelevant to put that on your Bio.. 2 Likes |

Sterope:I never made her but she decided to change her name out of her own volition.. ..she knew what she was getting into hence she is required to abide by the rules and requirements of marriage... just like MRS Clinton did.... So why would she change her mind and start being addressed in her dad's surname all of a sudden? Its a choice but I guess U won't understand because u r fixed on that tag called feminism.... Am a 100% sure this same moniker quoting me will surely jump at the offer of getting ur Hubby's surname esp if its that of a wealthy man like dangote... but U are right here on this faceless forum forming feminism.... And please try to be straightforward and precise with ur indirect attacks in form of unnecessary questions aimed at me....its My life and my choice...not ur business...comprendo? |

Another fail for Chimamanda. Crooked Hillary's major reason for unpopularity is much more than what Chimamanda just mentioned. This shows that in her bid to identify with a feminist role model she failed to do adequate research on her subject. Please watch the full documentary of why Bill (aka Slick Willie) and Hillary are extremely unpopular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LYRUOd_QoM |

Re: Chimamanda Adichie Responds To Critics On Hillary Clinton’s Twitter Bio Question by Sterope(f): 11:20am On Apr 25, 2018 |
Who made the rules and requirements of marriage? Did your ancestors ever had a surname? Where is it written in the Bible and the Qur'an that a married woman must take her husband's surname? It is a western culture. Have you so lost your way that you now worship a white man's marital culture? Isn't it hypocritical that one minute you are shouting our culture and the next you are eroding it? Do you know that once upon a time in the western world women did not take their husbands' names. It is an innovation. Put your hand where your mouth is, make your ancestors proud and say no to westernisation of African culture ![]() In my culture, a child is identified by her father not her husband or wife. You should be glad we are not asking the child to take her mother's name. That should be enough for you. openmine: |

I am disgusted when people like nkemdi89 claim tribalism against the the great writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who should admit she is wrong . I am probably more igbo than nkemdi89. Enough of it!!!! She was wrong to suggest to Mrs. Clinton, a proud wife to change her status. I can't speak much of the amazing writer who is too ashame to adopt her husband's name. |
