Photos: Chimamanda Adichie in Paris

Chimamanda Adichie was in France a few days ago to promote her book, 'Americanah', a New York Time’s 10 Best Books of the Year and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. The novel has already sold 500,000 copies in the US alone and has been translated into 25 different languages.

In an interview with Nicolas Germain of France 24 about the upcoming election, Chimamanda said "none of the two main candidates inspire her". More pics after the cut...

She look cute. Who read this article writing by charles soludo? Fan or fani kayodie shut-up oh! Before u start barking like bush dog. read, at a period Nigeria earned hundreds of billions from oil. For comparisons, President Obasanjo met about $5 billion in foreign reserves, and the average monthly oil price for the 72 months he was in office was $38, and yet he left $43 billion in foreign reserves after paying $12 billion to write-off Nigeria’s external debt. In the last five years, the average monthly oil price has been over $100, and the quantity also higher but our foreign reserves have been declining and exchange rate depreciating.

I note that when I assumed office as Governor of CBN, the stock of foreign reserves was $10 billion. The average monthly oil price during my 60 months in office was $59, but foreign reserve reached the all-time peak of $62 billion (and despite paying $12 billion for external debt, and losing over $15 billion during the unprecedented global financial and economic crisis) I left behind $45 billion.  Recall also that our exchange rate continuously appreciated during this period and was at N117 to the dollar before the global crisis and we deliberately allowed it to depreciate in order to preserve our reserves. And as now Nobody no what we have in our foreign reserve. Whoever tell me to vote for GEJ. Thunder will fire that person! Nigerians wake-up my people lives matter. PDP party and corruption insecurity darkness no electricity bad government must go. vote for #change# vote Buhari and Osinbajo. For president next month 14th! God will must surely help Nigeria to sweep away evil politicians men in Nigeria in jesus mighty name Amen!!

That one of the two candidates inspire her is weighty. Anyways, we have to choose one of them.

Meanwhile Congrats Chimamanda as you continue to live your dreams.

Hmmmm, seriously crushing on this woman; she's my "intellectual"crush.
I've read all of Chimamanda Adichie's books.
Can't wait to read more though.
I admire the "Ifemelu" character in Americanah- which is by far my best read for 2014.

Who cares who among the inspire u! I alwayz love this woman. Her books, storyline and the way she writes her story's are so intriguing, but truth be told she became drunk by money! Comeon that screen write abi the movie of half of a yellow sun was a disgrace n embarrassment, comeon it's suppose to be a historical movie, hw can it b 1hr30mins, and the impt and essential parts of the book was conveniently left out. Wen I watched the movie all dey fuss abt it I didn't see@all. Its just sad

Love her. She looks great.

She is right! None of the candidate inspires the youths of this country! GMB may win base on sympathy vote!
