In a wide-ranging conversation with MPH student Vinayak Bhardwaj, acclaimed novelist Chimamanda Adichie discussed feminism, parenthood, artistic creation, storytelling and the danger of a single story. The event was presented by the African Public Health Network in conjunction with Student Assembly.
Chimamanda in her characteristically brilliant erudition has made us proud again. God bless her intellectual prowess, and creativity.
I love her as a South African her presences as an African writer in my time is so important. She’s everything...😭🙌🏽
A fellow Zimbabwean.. We LOVE to see it! 🇿🇼
Our loxal Zim brother is fantastic as he drives this beautiful conversation with this extremely lovely Afro- centric , Nigerian powerhouse from the Land of Chinua Achebe et al .
her tone, passing, composure etc. Chimamanda thank you!!
Teach your children the difference between respect and fear of adults, brilliant woman.
I always appreciate when someone who the public expects to have an opinion or knowledge on everything admits that they actually don't know. That takes a real maturity and honesty with yourself.
And yes the gentleman from Zimbabwe really is a brilliant interviewer. His phrasing of questions and the depth of the questions is really refreshing and probing
So nice to see Zimbabwe being represented !!
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I really admire her so much, she is like Africa's own Maya Angelou, she is so captivating would love to see her speak. The moderator is so polite and love the interaction.
You made me to be more proud of my Nigerian identity. We are not a perfect country but we are not the worst. I am not aware of any perfect country. People like you with honesty opinions and love for your country, are foundation for Great Nigerian.
Omg she really put a smile on my face through out the whole interview 👌👌
I have a visa application pending...… so I need to be polite. Bro so true....
I love this young intelligent woman. I wish to invite her in South Africa for young woman. Thank you so much for being a black woman who has direction. God bless you and your family.
Southafrica, xenophobia zone.please her life, is very important to us
I loved her take on womanism and feminism...
Ada Igbo, nice one sis. making Nigeria proud
Go sister Go! You have made me proudly IGBO!!!! God bless you
I truly love your honesty and beautiful messages in talks, an awe inspiring woman of value.
She is an icon💯
I completely agree with what Chimamanda said about the church and Africa, she's right about that Pentecostal frenzy and sadly it has affected women the most and in my view it's caused more harm than good.
so wrong
thats true
Thank you to my brother who spoke at the 58:00 mark. The cultural component(he mentioned racial) is extremely important to the discussion. African American men have to constantly walk on egg shells as to not upset or seem in any way intimidating to white men an women. This is a rule that has been sketched on our backs by the lash and in our minds by what we've heard read and seen. Chimamanda surely has a perspective that is relevant and in examining it, we have to acknowledge that African American men(for the most part) do not possess the same amount of power to oppress African American women as Nigerian men have to oppress Nigerian women because both African American men and women exist really far outside of the white system of patriarchy that largely governs the U.S. This is all important when we take a contextual look at sexism. In particular, sexism being exacted against Black women.
Always Calm and Inspiring.
Very proud of you. I like listening to you without being tired big sister. Be blessed you and your entire family.
Am so proud of Miss Chimamanda, you are an icon to Africa especially Igbo's and as a Nigerian and from Nnewi in Anambra state, am so proud..
Biafra to the world freedom for all.
May God bless you richly 🙏🙏

Am sooo proud of you Ngozi!!
I love her
I love this lady she is so smart so insightful talented thank you so much for being a writer God bless you
Vinayak Zimbabwe sees you 😍🗣❤️🇿🇼
Extra ordinary. she can only get better .certainly a credit to and without prejudice her gender and to humanity atlarge. me thinks she has the overall l capacity to really effect real change in this world given her facilty of speech and thought and seeming humility. would that she will start with a socio political movement in Nigeria. Am a fan
That is the truth. We must teach our children how to show respect to everyone especially to our elders. It is not just by the word of mouth. As parents, we must teach our children by example. If we do not live by good example, our children will not take us to be serious. We want impress good and enduring values in the hearts of our children for a better tomorrow.
Sis,your are great keep it up ,your admirer.
Hi. Sting in one of his songs FRAGILE „ nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could.“
We in our entire being (including Democracy) are extremely frail&fragile and at the same time unbelievably strong…
Regards T. Veder
I like the way she to be fun and smart
Chimamanda please come to South Africa
No, south Africa is our enemy...Stop killing Nigerians.
She's coming in December (6-9) at the Abantu Book Festival.
@@supermelanin Oh yeah I saw I'll be there can't wait😀
@@bongihlophe2036 Same! I hope there are still tickets available (!). They've been advertising everywhere.
Love you chimamanda
God bless you my sister
From the public health point of view for Africa for those that understand 'network transition' is the answer to many problems.
the only queen I know
So true our notion fear to adult is not a respect at all especially in our culture Igbo
Mens right movement is a very valid moveent..
How did you collect the data? How? #Nigeria this made me laugh & sad at the same time lol😃🤔
madam chimamanda Ngozi i love your funny views u guys.
😭 Não tem nem legenda em português! poxaaa!
OMG @ the name you were introduced as....
So glad you found humour in that.
I'm African;Ghanaian,who's lived in Port Harcourt before.
Yet,I've chosen to address you as Ngozi...
The 'Chima...'bit,I still can't wrap my head;tongue around.
Let's be more empathic and not interpret everything including a white caucausian's inability to pronounce a name,me, a Ghanaian and African cannot pronounce rightly, offensive.

Starts around 8:10.
6:56 is where it starts
'Literature is my religion.'
I'm Christian and consider myself Feminist. Jesus was a Feminist
Jesus is the word of God, don't be slapping a silly label on him like feminist. Also while you are at it don't be talking about him in the past tense.
fenny you Seems to be under spell....and intoxicated
I'm a christian but i do not agree on many accounts the bible is sexist
Lol @I have a visa application
1:20:25
That part of submission of the wife to her husband is one of the most misinterpreted bible verses in HISTORY!!!! The word 'submit' in that part of the bible actually is not in the original Greek copy of the NT(New Testament). And even in the English version the word submit mean 'support' or be devoted or be loyal. In other words, wives are meant to be devoted or faithful or remain steadfast to your husbands the same way they should be faithful or remain steadfast with Jesus......and it even goes on to say Husbands should do the same. SO please, please, PLEASE lets STOP giving it the wrong meaning...it DOES NOT mean wives are of lesser authority than their husbands.
So funny I was having this conversation with my daughters yesterday and how somehow, someone somewhere managed to sell this idea to men, and some women. God never created woman to submit to men! What a ridiculous notion. It just doesn't work in this day and age, and we need to educate our young people of all genders that relationships and marriages for that matter are meant be viewed as equal partnerships.
Misinterpreted is a strong word. Where does a book based on the forgiveness of slavery go to provide you autocratic development in naming soulmates or twin flames or pentacals in directed a student to 'fill their cups?' Forgiveness alone DOES NOT PRESERVE or take responsibility or design a society as an organism as opposed to a logistic.
@@rhyno8644 what the hell did you just type... it's like you were trying to explain how the bible cant be misrepresented ( which I totally disagree with)... And then you went off topic.
Im saying in the Christian bible's haste to take exerpts from a multitude passages in the bible's of different demographics eras and appossing theological ideals somehow the story still managed to contradict itself not take responsibility justifying slavery and the mentality necessary to preserve it
Twin flames soulmates karmic debt universal energy and Oracles etc are completely conflicting to the monotheistic war prophets positions in the Bible and Koran
If it is by paparazzi and propaganda some Nigerians would have snatched what you have. Ntor, they can't.
The story at 36:37 is outrageous and hilarious 😂
38:26 Waiiitt there’s a Men’s right movement?😂😂😂💀
Actually we all should become feminists to create an equilibrium
Hmm I noticed men in the audience hardly applauded to chimamanda's views ..
@faith umuk right....
There is a problem with facial expression of the black. It is not visible in videos. If you are black, please don't take it personally, I think about the way the black are filmed, maybe it is the background. The interview is great.
Developed the ability to articulate clearly but not the ability to address their own biases dispassionately. Spends more than half the talk classifying and bashing people according to their identity groups than treating everyone in a way they'd like to be treated. Something is reprehensible about a complaint. A critique may be appropriate when the overall tone is of love but if one listens carefully to this talk they will hear something about the way this individual speaker views the world is very negative and focuses on how aspects of life around her are not good enough to her either in her view or of her perception of the views of those around her. Time seems better spent trying to bring basic morality to a person than knowledge and articulation. In my view, morality and impulses toward having good intentions differentiate cultures of the West from others in terms of their potential to build a safe, orderly, and prospering free society.
It's not that she sees the world in a negative way, it's that she is talking about the problem of Africa's health care system as compared to the west, because if it's not talked about how will they profer solutions.
