Amazing speech. The word speech doesn't do it justice, because it was deep and emotional. Amazing truth. Strong, amazing, truthful, and passionately accurate. Well done Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie!
Men put borders, God did not. Human history is a story of movement and mingling. Dignity is as important as food. Ifunaya - I see you as you truly are on the inside - Love.
@Charlene Dean, we may not need love alone, seemingly, what we need is to open up our hearts and create a little space for value, laughter, joy, dignity, empathy, care, justice, peace, love, dreams and many good seeds, that characterise humanity, to blossom. What we need is a garden-like heart and we would be marvelled at the beautiful flowers that sprout therein.

She was born only 7years after the war... it’s only logical that she still met the aftermath of the killings and destructions; the scars it left behind.
She has said she spent 6.5 years doing research on the war for her Half Of A Yellow Sun, and was constantly asking questions about it from the age of 13/14. Her father also told her about his experiences. So I think she's able to talk about the war like if she was there because her research was a chance to immerse herself in that time of the war. I think it's something she deeply cares about capturing well, because when she gave her father HOAYS she was so nervous that she didn't want to be there as he read it (she left their home 😄) and called her brother to tell her what daddy's facial expression is as he reads it. Her care to want to capture the story of the war accurately is what I think enables her to speak this way.
Why the silence on the barbaric aggression against Saudi Arabia and Yemen silence on what you are doing warplanes Saudi Arabia of killing and destruction

Human history is a story of movement and mingling. Dignity is as important as food.
Ifunaya - I see you as you truly are on the inside - Love.
I totally agree with her said "we are better off if our fellow human being better off." written from Japan
"you dehumanize people when you reduce them to just one thing" C.N.A
The danger of a single story. Well done.

Please correct the subtitles - they are very poor
Eirini Courtney why do you need a subtitle?
The comment was not referring to my needs, but to the quality of a video posted by a prestigious institution.

Very nice but i do wonder how Chimamanda speaks about the war like if she was there.. born in 1977 she couldnt have been there ..so i do wonder..
She was born only 7years after the war... it’s only logical that she still met the aftermath of the killings and destructions; the scars it left behind.
Good point.
She has said she spent 6.5 years doing research on the war for her Half Of A Yellow Sun, and was constantly asking questions about it from the age of 13/14. Her father also told her about his experiences. So I think she's able to talk about the war like if she was there because her research was a chance to immerse herself in that time of the war. I think it's something she deeply cares about capturing well, because when she gave her father HOAYS she was so nervous that she didn't want to be there as he read it (she left their home 😄) and called her brother to tell her what daddy's facial expression is as he reads it.
Her care to want to capture the story of the war accurately is what I think enables her to speak this way.
Tayo tori olowu!
Does one have to be born before knowing what happened in the past.
Why the silence on the barbaric aggression against Saudi Arabia and Yemen silence on what you are doing warplanes Saudi Arabia of killing and destruction
Haha ironic that she is speaking at “Humanitarian Day” when making anti-trans statements in the past. Can’t take you serious anymore, sorry gurl.
TRUMP!!!
