This Woman makes me so proud to be a Woman and a Nigerian. Her eloquence and intelligence inspires me to go pick up a book and read the hell out of it. Lol, as a matter of fact, I'm going to the library today to borrow books about history and Nigeria. Love her so much.
Violet Robert I am so glad to read your comment.At the moment I am reading "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe which is about Igbo traditional culture.I must admit I found it a hard book to get into at first.But I recommend it to anyone interested in Nigeria & its past.I agree Chimamanda is truly amazing I could listen to her all day.
talk2me9ja You sound deeply troubled by Adiche's success and grace, I'm sure she would apologise if she wasn't too busy not giving a fuck about you or your opinion. She is as much a Nigerian as Fela Kuti, Cyprian Ekwensi and Chinua Achebe. Leave your tribalism in the past where it belongs.
Always love listening to this woman. Even when one does not agree with her (and I don't always agree with her), her eloquence, intelligence and insight is worthy of respect.
Chimamanda is a force to be reckoned with. She’s young, intelligent and very articulate. She remains calm and firm in answering thorny questions. I will explore her books with my up and coming Academy in Soweto - South Africa I like it that she studied in America but she is proudly Nigerian🙏🏾
This interview was such a pleasure to watch. Steven relates to her as an equal. Its one of the few interviews where the interviewee is not being attacked.
Never let your oppressors choose your role models. Never expect a prize from your oppressors. Be wary of ones among you that are anointed by your oppressors. Chimamanda is not the best of African writers that should be getting attention from the WEST. You should ask yourself, why Chimamanda. Same reason they will kill people like Thomas Sankara, Same reason they will choose to promote Chimamanda. We should choose our role models yourselves Never let your oppressors choose your role models.
@@sonofnok2153 another conspiracy theorist. She may not be the best but she's one of the best and she's earned every ounce of recognition she's getting
This woman is a strong, independent woman making a very important statement; not only as a woman but as an African individual in an area marked by turbulence and huge political and social distress. Way to go Nigeria with the likes of this wonderful lady.
I have listen to most of Stephen Sackur Hard Talk and if u understand the concept u will know its never an easy ride with the guest.. but this.. this interview with Adichie just made me respect Chimamanda the more... i have always wanted to see him interview her- unlike some, she's got something upstairs and she speaks without fear.. i am currently reading "There Was a Country" by Achebe and i don't see any reason why we shouldn't talk about our history.. anyone who truly loves Nigeria will talk about what happen to us as a country.. by so doing we can know how to make better decision both now and in the future.. instead of sweeping things under the carpet.. Feminist of no feminist, this lady definitely drives a sense of hunger for knowledge in our present youth.. Bravo woman.. i ll probably name my first Daughter Chichi.. :)
superlatives are inadequate to describe how amazing this lady's thoughts and responses to very serious questions are so graceful in addressing and confronting parochial presumptions & misassumptions! and stay so poised & beautiful! wow!
I just found this channel! 😍 oooo...She is Anointed and Highly favored...this is a part of her destiny...TMH Selected her from the beginning...! Love the calmness in her deep but sultry voice! She's GORGEOUS more than Looks! "Deep" you have to step to her in correctness... May the LORD continue to direct and bless you my beautiful sister... ❤
I liked how she remained composed throughout the interview. The interviewer was trying to attack her using his narrow view of Nigeria and she gracefully educated him. Bravo !
I don't think the interviewer was trying to attack her in any way,rather than being objective and exploring how much she is informed about what she is talking about. I don't see anything malicious about that interview if is being looked at from a broader perspective
I love this "I am not a member of the west, you should ask the west" brilliant answer. This woman is brilliant!!!!. This guy was not able to start needless arguments as he always does
She is indeed a woman of substance. I just came across an interview a few days ago and I love her confidence, maturity , vision and how she is able to speak so eloquently and engage the attention of the viewer. I really know nothing much about Africa besides the usual tourist stuff ...Nigeria was just a name. I will now find out and read up more about this fascinating land.
I like her intellect. I am so glad to read her. I relate her to other great quotes and songs: Keep on pushing, we people who are bluer than blue. etc.. the torch is passing on by this woman.
Really just now i realised why i like this wonderful woman. Of cause the level of her incisiveness always captures my attention, but today i had came to conclusion why she has achieved a lot. Chimamanda Ngozi is the real epitome responsible human being. It pleasant to me when she said she sees herself as Nigerian, then Igbo. This epitome of true nationalist. My best wishes to u now and always.
Note: seeing herself as a Nigerian doesn't make her a nationalist. We have to always take note of the difference between nationalist and patriot. Africanist is also nationalism in a wider range. I doubt if she ever identify herself as a nationalist .
Wow, I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to finish this video; and this is coming off of a 20 min TED Talk by the very same guest. Yet, this was such a compelling discussion, and the guest so skillful and engaging, my awareness of time simple vanished... that is until the interview ended. Oh man... I want more.
I am enamoured by her sense of balance which she maintained throughout the interview, about how being Igbo and being Nigerian are not competing identities, even if sometimes one may prevail over the other, and how she defended herself being at the same time a harsh critic and a passionate defender of Nigeria, irrespective of where she resides. A magnificent interview that will not be forgotten in a long time to come. Nigerians are indeed some of the world's best and we await our true liberation from the curse of failed political leadership.
I'm just beginning to get suspicious of these people giving an audience to this bright lady. I'm not suggesting they shouldn't but what is at the back of their minds make me think that there is scheme behind all this. Africans should mot be coaxed into believing that the dog will change its sitting position. Just watch it out!
It's very hard to know how the sun shined in history, and unless we have such brilliant coupled with courage, we could never know what happened behind the curtains
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is a woman that I love to describe as "paragon of virtue" as she is a model to reckon with in a competitive world where gender is no longer a hindrance to excellence. Though this conversation was quite long in the tooth; however, it's evergreen as she defended her ideas in a meek way and spoke in a meticulous manner without flaws... that Chimamanda for you. She is just phenomenal...
She is great personality ... this guy wanted to confuse her and put his agenda in her mouth to make statments, as if she said it... ... She is so bright, iteligent to brash his bad intentions with smile and great inteligence... BRAVO Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
love love! a sister who shows her real hair !! I love it... I take sisters who stick to there real look more than those other ones who behave brainwashed.
Funny enough, my neighbor used the watermelon joke recently & I was lost. Wasn’t sure if I should be offended or what. I just told him not to use it with us anymore because even though we aren’t Americans, it does have meanings behind it that affected/affects ppl that look like us.
Though I haven't been to the south, I am surprised that he mentioned FGM takes place in the south east. FGM is a common practice in the north. We still do it .
I loved that he asked [and insisted on] about her views on Nigeria and feelings after she's left. That's quite interesting to know and I think I've thought about it when I thought about her.
This is pragmatically a high show of intellectual dexterity and ambidextrous energy for defence, anxiety and depression......... a difference between writing and authorisation.
Stephen Sukur if you are not afraid of true Afro optimists minds, invite the Kenyan Lawyer and Pan Africanist PLO Lumumba for an interview. He would render your questions into a shame .. He'd beat you at your own game. A revolutionary force to reckon with..
Calm down y’all East Africans boost too much cuz if he was so good at beating ppl to their own he would have been invited to this show, so don’t believe in your stories about the so called revolutionary force..
talk2me9ja what are talking about? That Igbo's didn't kill twince? Is it because Marry Slessor was a missionary in Calabar who documented mist of She saw there? Its a shame we even take glory in such an animalistic, barbaric culture. For your information my friend, the killing of twines was everywhere through the southeastern culture of Nigeria. The area known as south-south and south east today was called Calabar.
This Woman makes me so proud to be a Woman and a Nigerian. Her eloquence and intelligence inspires me to go pick up a book and read the hell out of it. Lol, as a matter of fact, I'm going to the library today to borrow books about history and Nigeria. Love her so much.

talk2me9ja stop hating
Violet A go girl
A woman who is unapologetically herself,daring and deeply rooted in what she believes in,Inspiring,,,,I love Chimamanda.
"My Bopoooto!". Your name reminded me of the character with that same name from "Coming to America 2"
I love how Chimamanda rose to Providence to the extent they hard to learn to pronounce her name correctly. I am so proud of you my namesake. Jisike!
I have never seen Steven this calm whilst interviewing his guests but clearly one can see that he is fascinated by Chimamanda.
uchman I think coz she’s so calm.
Plus she’s incredibly beautiful
He is calm because she is a straighter shooter and very articulate.
He is in luuuuuuuvvvv 👅👅👅👅💖💖💖💖
Because he can't, otherwise the lunatic cancel brigade will label him racist & get him fired.
Please did any other person notice her hairdo?Purely African......natural.This lady boosts my pride.And intelligence is her shield.
Yes have been trying to find whether it's natural or it's a wig
Yes everything about her is natural
Always love listening to this woman. Even when one does not agree with her (and I don't always agree with her), her eloquence, intelligence and insight is worthy of respect.
I am not Nigerian but i am proud of the way she. always present herself as a black woman
Chimamanda is the original. The best.... Proudly African, Proudly Female. 🇿🇲🇳🇬
Chimamanda is a force to be reckoned with. She’s young, intelligent and very articulate. She remains calm and firm in answering thorny questions.
I will explore her books with my up and coming Academy in Soweto - South Africa
I like it that she studied in America but she is proudly Nigerian🙏🏾
She studied in Nigeria and US at the tertiary level
What a stunningly beautiful, highly intelligent, articulate and regal lady.
This interview was such a pleasure to watch. Steven relates to her as an equal. Its one of the few interviews where the interviewee is not being attacked.
I think he was smitten with her...lol
he is so respectful and its difficult not too, because this lady is very calm and not defensive at all.
I just watched this and agree with you completely
Indeed beauty & brains!👌🏾
She’s one of my role models.
From East Africa with lots & lots of ❤️
I like her thoughts on the topic. My goodness, this lady is extremely intelligent.
This lady is gradually inching towards a Nobel prize.
They refuse Achebe this prize. I guess she'll correct that.
She has won a nobel prize already with her book...Purple Hibiscus
@@jollyjolly7358 that's a lie
Never let your oppressors choose your role models.
Never expect a prize from your oppressors.
Be wary of ones among you that are anointed by your oppressors.
Chimamanda is not the best of African writers that should be getting attention from the WEST.
You should ask yourself, why Chimamanda.
Same reason they will kill people like Thomas Sankara,
Same reason they will choose to promote Chimamanda.
We should choose our role models yourselves
Never let your oppressors choose your role models.

Who are the oppressors and who are the oppressed?
She is deserving of whatever noble accolades and much more
This woman is a strong, independent woman making a very important statement; not only as a woman but as an African individual in an area marked by turbulence and huge political and social distress. Way to go Nigeria with the likes of this wonderful lady.
So comfortable in her femininity . She’s beautiful and very African. She is definitely royalty. Love from Zambia
This woman can could be a president. She is extremely smart and intelligent.
God is good at creating people for different reasons! She was born for this. Congratulations 😄
Amen!

Intelligent woman i really like the way she expresses herself. Africa has talent and Nigeria in particular.
It is good seeing Stephen Sacur relaxed with the interviewee.You really can't help it,Chimamanda is such an enigma.She is both brain and beauty.
answering questions with such grace and decorum....

Wow chimamanda I am proud of you, I'm always inspired whenever I listen to your speech.
I liked how she remained composed throughout the interview. The interviewer was trying to attack her using his narrow view of Nigeria and she gracefully educated him.
Bravo !

I found him to be not very
malicious at all...I thought him to be insightful and genuinely interested in hearing her genuine views
I love this "I am not a member of the west, you should ask the west" brilliant answer. This woman is brilliant!!!!. This guy was not able to start needless arguments as he always does
She speaks with grace and class! Legend!
Am a Ghanaian who is so proud of this woman. An intellectual par excellence

Many thanks to Chimamanda for leading this intellectual revolution in Africa by redefining the future through Education. Am proud of you Chi
I spend the night downloading all the videos about and with her from youtube I could find.
Definitely an inspiring night.
Greetings from Germany.
I like her intellect. I am so glad to read her. I relate her to other great quotes and songs: Keep on pushing, we people who are bluer than blue. etc.. the torch is passing on by this woman.
frist class brain, wonderful woman
I doff my hat for Aunty Chi Chi.. this lady's intelligent
What a brilliant and eloquent speaker and author.
Really just now i realised why i like this wonderful woman. Of cause the level of her incisiveness always captures my attention, but today i had came to conclusion why she has achieved a lot.

Am moved to tears right now with your deep ❤for Nigeria...
Who nigeria help.
Wow, I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to finish this video; and this is coming off of a 20 min TED Talk by the very same guest. Yet, this was such a compelling discussion, and the guest so skillful and engaging, my awareness of time simple vanished... that is until the interview ended. Oh man... I want more.
That makes two of us🥂

He really pushed the buttons, but you aced it Chimamanda
I cannot get enough of this girl. She is so poise, elegant and supremely intelligent!
Chimamada, epitome of brilliance..
Great African gal!
very beautiful African lady ...i once read her book..,"Purple Hibiscus "...she is a great African woman
Pure, shear brilliance...Iconic also..Chimamanda Ng Adichie.
She is not just intelligent but gorgeous as well
I love this woman so much even though I'm Congolese.
You thought being Congolese disqualifies you from Loving her implying she is worth loved by Nigerians?😋😋
I’m Caribbean and I love her lol so intelligent, so beautiful
"even though...?" WTF? Come on, seriously?
I want to listen to her talk all the time. She relaxes me. Thank u my African sister
beauty and brain
Corruption is the one thing keeping Nigeria down.
Watching from Sydney Australia
Bless up
greed is something to overcome for a country so young - it will find its way...
Wow this lady is amazing.
He certainly tried to trigger her but chimamanda is a force of her own.
I'm just beginning to get suspicious of these people giving an audience to this bright lady. I'm not suggesting they shouldn't but what is at the back of their minds make me think that there is scheme behind all this. Africans should mot be coaxed into believing that the dog will change its sitting position. Just watch it out!
It's very hard to know how the sun shined in history, and unless we have such brilliant coupled with courage, we could never know what happened behind the curtains

I love this woman.
Excellent interview. Well-done to both. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you thank you thank you for the upload
This woman is phenomenal.

I absolutely loooooove this woman. As everyone else has said, she inspires you to be better.
She is such a star and all her Igbo brethren are. It runs in our DNA. No apologies!!.
I Love this video!!! Viva Afrique! Sistah Ngozi
Very intelligent woman we need more like her viva chichi he try to put her south and north thing but she get it
Chimamanda is fascinating at all times, ......
Ada may God blessing you and also give u more wisdom thanks for making Igbo proud
She is great personality ... this guy wanted to confuse her and put his agenda in her mouth to make statments, as if she said it... ... She is so bright, iteligent to brash his bad intentions with smile and great inteligence... BRAVO Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
"l like America very much but it isn't mine," she's so right.
love love! a sister who shows her real hair !! I love it... I take sisters who stick to there real look more than those other ones who behave brainwashed.
very nice video dear keep it up. big like for u.
Could listen to her for hours
Me too
I love listening watching her videos,always amazing!
I believe that any tradition that is obviously dangerous and unnecessary most be changed, whether it's part of culture or not.
"... i don't believe culture can be used as a reason for any form of injustice!"
Brilliant woman!
She should lead Nigeria to heights. brainy
Funny enough, my neighbor used the watermelon joke recently & I was lost. Wasn’t sure if I should be offended or what. I just told him not to use it with us anymore because even though we aren’t Americans, it does have meanings behind it that affected/affects ppl that look like us.
great interview!
Very poised and gently does it from both...
Proud of her, though I'm not an African
I'm a Pakistani impressed by her intellct and proud of her
I wonder where these guys get their stats from. I was raised in Eastern Nigeria and FGM at least in Anambra and Enugu was unheard of.
You are confused I think
Though I haven't been to the south, I am surprised that he mentioned FGM takes place in the south east. FGM is a common practice in the north. We still do it .
I loved that he asked [and insisted on] about her views on Nigeria and feelings after she's left. That's quite interesting to know and I think I've thought about it when I thought about her.
This is pragmatically a high show of intellectual dexterity and ambidextrous energy for defence, anxiety and depression......... a difference between writing and authorisation.
Such a powerful woman 👏👏
i just hope this can be resolved no more war in Nigeria

Calm down y’all East Africans boost too much cuz if he was so good at beating ppl to their own he would have been invited to this show, so don’t believe in your stories about the so called revolutionary force..
A great inspiration to African women . I just love her calisma.
The worst thing about this interview is that it was too short.
Chimamanda is EPIC 🥂Cheers Chi❤️
Lady you are intelligent
Pretty, smart and Poise
Chimamanda, one of the sexiest black women alive!!!!
Ebi Opuengu i couldn't but agree with you
Wow! Great interview... Really loved it. Those of you criticising my Steven, please stop it. He was just genuinely pleased to have her on the show.
I think he was hypnotized by this beautiful brainiac.
He is an old white male chauvinist! She is wayyyyyyy above him!!!!!!
She is gorgeous!
Am really proud of her
#AdichieForPresident
She's brilliant
Is it me or the host looked mesmerized by Chimamanda
Wonderful Adichie. FGM is not practiced among the igbos, please. Shocking figures!
