Chimamanda's Purple Hibiscus in the WAEC Syllabus


























I don't know how many of you already know this...but Chimamanda Adichie's award winning first novel - Purple Hibiscus is in the WAEC Syllabus. FACT!!!
Saw it with my own two koro koro eyes :). How cool is that?
I'm inspired!

    Magnificent! Some people who are very intelligent can come off very dowdy, dry and boring but she has a sense of humor and is very down to earth. it was also rumored that the book will be made into a film in the nearest future, chei make nollywood no come cast gabrielle union and taraji henderson o wit useless accents in the roles. make dem look well well and pick real nigerians to represent o abeg, we have them in america and sef they can pick from nollywood but please no african americans pretending to be nigerians, please.
