when you read, A Nigerian, two Nigerians, a group of Nigerians, just know they are talking about those they hate to love. Those they admire, but would rather swallow their tongues before they admit to it. Those who they don't wish to be associated with, but will never allow them to be on their own. Give it up for the Never say never tribe. |

Kriely:No. Not two Nigerians. They will simply say Igbo boys or name and shame them like Abike did. |

In April 2014 she was selected for the Hay Festival's Africa39 list of 39 sub-Saharan African writers aged under 40 with potential and talent to define future trends in African literature. Previously based in Belgium, she now lives in the United States. She is the sixth of seven children. She attended Secondary school at Federal Government Girls' college in Abuja and obtained a BA in English in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1995. In 1996, Chika earned an MA in English from the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL).[3] She has a Ph.D in Literature (2004) from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. Her debut novel, De Feniks, was published in 2005 by Meulenhoff and Manteau (of Amsterdam and Antwerp, respectively) and was shortlisted for the Vrouw en Kultuur debuutprijs for the best first novel by a female writer. She is also the author of two children's books published by Macmillan, London. She has published short fiction in several anthologies, journals and magazines, including Wasafiri (University of London), Moving Worlds (University of Leeds), Per Contra, Voices of the University of Wisconsin and Okike of the University of Nigeria. She won the 2003 BBC Short Story Competition and a Commonwealth Short Story Competition award. In 2004, she was shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing. In the same year, her short story made the top 10 of the Million Writers Award for best online fiction. In 2005, she won third prize in the Equiano Fiction Contest.
