    I would never forget one of my biggest regrets. I once met Chimamanda at an airport in Enugu. Our flight to Lagos had been delayed and we were in the lobby. I literally could not believe my eyes seeing her. I froze. I was numb. I could not say a word and I keep regretting being star struck. Maybe it was good I didn't get to say anything to her. That awe still remains. Elegance is a lady!

    Listening to Chimamanda and her speech at the ceremony, I must say it's an inspiration to me. Here Chimamanda repeat her leaving medical school over and over to study literature and write in the US gives me so much comfort as a young literary artist. Keep setting the pace, your children and younger Nigerian and African siblings following the same path are coming behind diligently. I hope to see you one day when I'm successful as a writer.

    You will be my mentor both in life and death. May God bless me with a baby girl and I won't hesitate to give her Chimamanda, not like every other name but with you, Odeluwa 1 na Abba in mind. I wish I can immortalize you great woman.

    Isn't this name (du Bois) French? Hence, should be pronounced "Du Boire"? Just an aside. Anyway, thanks for these lovely speeches from Chimamanda.
