Lol Adichie trying to be diplomatic and let Igbos and their fragile egos down lightly. She should just come out and say she regrets being Igbo and an Igbo woman specifically because we know how scathing and mercilessly critical she would be, placard and all, if a Yoruba woman , in Yorubaland, went through what her and her mother went through at her father's funeral.
U mean Yoruba's are still suffocated
This is another Igbo who will certainly never ever live in SE Nigeria but does not want to risk upsetting Igbo coming out to say their ways is repressive, unfair, shameful and disgustly misogynistic.

IPOBian, one of your most distinguished female has spoken. Hope you can all see you have work to do and are far behind the civilised , sophisticated and effortlessly suave Yorubas you're always trying to square up to.

Go and fix your broken homes, States and region instead of obsessing over others. I am sure that is the message Adichie would love to pass but can never knowing you intolerant babies would likely banish her family from ala Igbo. Lol.

And you don't see the futility in a people being so divided along the most fundamental of lines?

I am sure the Igbos angling for the Presidency will equally see you Biafra disciples as deluded folks who need to see the 'bigger picture'.

The way you judge them is how they judge you. Bottom line is that this most fundamental of schism must not exist , to this huge extent, amongst a people who are searching for a definitive socio-economic and ethnic direction . This is what Chinamanda is saying even if you want to play Ostrich.

You guys will make excuses for blatant shortcomings you should be trying to address because you simply dont want to admit you are wrong and that you can learn from others.

And who told her that most Igbos would choose presidency over Biafra? It is only the politicians that want presidency, the average Igbo man wants Biafra

Paperworka:
she is right because envy is too much in Igbo land, everyone is competing on who will make it bigger, some team up with their enemies not minding the consequences, some go as far as converting to Islam in order to get favor from Fulani, sabotage everywhere. An example are the Eastern governors who has gone as far as serving the caliphates in order to gain political presence, imaging going as far as sokoto to bow to the caliphate before you can be recognized as a governor in your own state ohh!

The Good news is that God has sent a savior called MNK even though almost all political elites in southeast are fighting him so as to impress the Caliphate because they are gunning for an Igbo presidency.

God will arrest all our Enemies, Isee

I'm ibo, i regret being ibo. Our daughters are treated like a pariah and our mothers a leper. Our women are a target for money rituals by get-rich-quick, title-hungry wolves but in Yoruba land, a woman can become a regent to adore.

I don't agree with you,even if disunity abound,they should be unity in achieving a common goal which the igbos lack

I watched the interview.

It's not as glamorous as the title suggests.

She has two concerns about Biafra.

(1) The boundaries

(2) The lack of unity.

SachaBastien:

You have a right to disagree and form your own opinions. However, I'd like you to know that there are persons and groups you can NEVER come into agreement with for a bilateral purpose as a result of extremely divergent ideologies and idiosyncrasies. What you call disunity is the uniqueness and essence of the igbos. A homogenous society where everyone kotows to a singular opinion or idea is an abhorrence to the Igbos.
Take some time out and do a research on the groups that brought the State of Israel, The United States and South Sudan to be.

Igbo presidency and Biafra are two seperate things, they have no connection whatsoever

And you honestly believe you can achieve Biafra without your politicians ? You are one of the reasons why people like me are of the opinion that Igbo people are not smart. With a mentality like yours,Biafra will forever remain a mirage !

Yoruba will tell you that " Towo eni o ba i ba eku'da, a i bere iku to pa baba eni". If you understand the silent message therein ( in the adage),you'll definitely understand what that smart lady is saying.

Where is Tinubu mentioned here and what concerns him with words meant to make Igbos do some introspection and soul-searching?

Go and deal with the issues one of your foremost and most revered Igbos has raised and leave Tinubu off your tongue for once.

Abi Adichie is no longer in the category of Igbos who can say and do no wrong?

gidgiddy:


Stop talking nonsense. She said that Igbos are not united enough about the Presidency of Nigeria to be talking about Biafra. The question then is, must you be united about about the Presidency of the country you belong to before you agitate for your independence?

Should Scotland have been united about producing the Prime minister of the United kingdom before seeking and getting their 2014 independence referendum?

Should Eriterians have been united about seeking the Presidency of Ethiopia before they agitated about having their independence from Ethiopia?

If Adichie is saying that Igbos are not united enough amongsts themselves to talk or go for Biafra, then there is no point to Nigeria because Nigerians are not united about anything, but still have Nigeria
