He cannot be Igbo, mbanu. He probably drank ewedu fortified breast from Yoruba mother.

Whatever cheesy, If you were that bright in school, you would know that ewedu fortified breast is the best. Ewedu is vegetable that is very rich in Nutrients and good for your body, but typical Igbo is not really that bright in school grin

Jealousy is a sickening thing. Go and blow too, let the people of the world name their kids after you. See if you will get tired of your name then, whatever the heck it is.
You are very stupid, too much of everything is bad, the fact that every girl in my street is answering the name is very weird, doesn't mean I'm jealous of an ordinary name.

It means my God will not fail. Ada is the name given to first daughters even if they have Igbo names, like me now, some people call me ada but that's not my Igbo name.

I'll name my daughter Kambili my novel bestie
I am a sucker for unusual female names. I am not Igbo, but I won't mind naming my daughter Kainene (Half of a Yellow Sun) especially if my spouse turns out to be Igbo. Anika Noni-Rose's incredible portrayal of the character made me love the name even more.

Tell yourselves anything to make you sleep at Night grin , are you Igbo or Israelites? Do you want to be a Nigerian or a Biafran? Do you want to stay at home or go out to Vote? Who is your Lord and Saviour? cheesy , Nnamdi Kanu or Jesus Christ or Holy Mary ? why do you hate Muslim so much? Didn't they teach you religion tolerance in school? why do you want to be a Christian terrorists ? grin. You are the most Confuse Tribe in Nigeria, Even Almajiri are better than you cheesy, and FYI Yoruba don't have Almajiri i don't even think you are bright to know who they call Almajiri. Almajiri don't go to school but they study Quran from their younger age, Yoruba Muslims go to school and they study Quran in school or in Mosque, Yoruba Muslims go to school and at the same time study Quran, Hausa Almajiri don't go to school but they only Study Quran.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wore a huge smile on her face when a Spanish fan told her that she named her daughter Chimamanda, after the writer.



The Half of a Yellow Sun author is in Cartagena, Colombia, where she was invited to deliver the inaugural Gabriel Garcia Marquez lecture at the Hay festival.



Following the lecture, Ms Adichie met with fans and it was a very emotional one for her, with a big fan, who could speak neither English nor Igbo, letting her know that she named her granddaughter after her.

Sharing a video of the encounter, Chimamanda wrote:

I didn't yawn o. I said 'Awwn'. This translates to Adorable.

I love writing... I adore Chimammanda and anyone who genuinely loves writing would too. She has taken Nigerian literature places.

So, you are alone bro!
