Proudly Nigerian! Big ups to Ng
i swear!she is...i just love the woman
Yeah!proud to be a nigerian!I celebrate dis woman!true ispiration.. my own wud soon cme!
It is a wonderful thing to see writers from this end rub shoulders with those from the other end. If this book were to be written up there, it sure should be number one. One gets better with writing as one practices. It is a wonderful thing that many young people are taking to blogging.
If only they would keep at it, and do it right, the future is promising. This is one of the reasons WorkWithEyram.com was established.
Really? Congrats to her.
Go girl...At last something positive Nigerians are poud of you
It is sad that a post about books receives not as many comments as a post to give 100k. What is happening to our country?
So love dis lady,Lord in 2 ur hands.she is such an inspiration n an icon.
Wow!!!!!!......She's like the best thing that went out of Nigeria.......I'm really inspired. She deserves a National Honour walahi. This Woman gives me Hope............
~SHACKLES~

Nice..!!!!
Cheers to Chimamanda. She deserves it. Linda, go and read that book. If you had read it, you would have understood where Ebuka was coming from when he made that statement. IAI
Nigeria is rising back to her former glory.Kudoz to Chimamnda
Wooooow! Super cooooool.
If you read that book ...i swear you will fall inlove with chimamanda....she is a brillant storyteller.
Wow, that woman is something else... Always stunning!
Legendary Chimamanda Adichie...Big ups to you.
dis woman na NIGERIAN.?
Congratulations to my twin sister in my mind..... Heheheheheh..... Luv u.. Fifi
A dream come true for her
Lets be truthful. The book is not as good as her other novel. It did not sell as expected so the hype by her publishers to gain enough interest for sales to happen. Linda, you know I speak the truth because I also know they contacted you to help hype it. All the hype and the marketing genius of her publishers got the book on the best list. It will help drive up sales that didn't happen before now. If her other books which made more sense didn't make bbcs best as at then ,why this that really doesn't cut it? Sales need to go up. All the same, she is good but, not this particular work.
Weldone gurl! *cagey*
Ave nt read d novel buh congrats to her
So so Proud of Her, weldone Sis, keep represnting Us.
She is a role model
Congrats gurl...well deserved!
Making History!!!!!!
Am so inspired! Wow!
Google is ur friend. Must u say shit?
Gbam! someone who is speaking the truth. All the people hyping her have not read her book cos if they have, they will know the book falls short of expectation. Good marketing takes you every where. Hope her next book lives up to xpectation.
Now, I don't know who's my best writer between Grisham and Adichie! In the words of Achebe, ' Adichie came, almost made'.
Nyc job well done....proud of her,Nigerians ar goin places..
really havent read any of her books,but sure i ve read alot about her..Goodnews and daz great..#make she no go bleach o turn americanah..lol kiddin o
Nice one but not deserving of top ten best books. Half of a yellow sun maybe, Americana, definitely not! I have read it .
Thank God it's not news about Nigeria being fraud and kidnapping centre of d World
nne as your name implies "your GOD can neva fail" chimamanda so he is working in ur life congrats ma
Where can i buy the book?
Hope you know he said that because he was related to her.Would he have said that about some other writer? No!
Simple Logic!! She unexpectedly apprears on a track with Beyonce, who wouldn't want to buy book.
-Person pikin(sue me if ur papa get d moni)
Her name is what people are hailing. The novel is Crap! Save your money o. I read a few chapters and the book is packing dust somewhere. Heer name is selling the book not the book selling itself. She needs to sit up and stop listening to sycophants like you before a new writer takes over. My one cent.
Making d 'women' folks proud...dis woman is jez an inspiration!
Am so proud of her.I wish I can com bk 2dis wrld d 2nd tym,wud luv 2b lik her
Yes, proud of her and her earlier works not Americana. Where did her flawless writing skill go to ?Its almost like she's letting her editors dictate to her on a change of her writing skills. The story was stale and devoid of imagination.
Honestly, save your money. All na wash. Come carry my own...
Naija exploding lik bombs all over d world... Am proud of her.
IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER FOR THIS LOVELY LADY...NICE CONCEPT, BEAUTIFUL AND RICH STORY LINE...GOT ALL THIS FROM THE PREVIEW...SHE IS AN INSPIRATION TO THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
For ya mind...

God's work in progress! I love Chimamanda! Her literary works are inspiring.
U mean UNN?
One day ur book will be translated to more than 50 world languages as chinua achebe's. Just pray some tribalistic bigots don't try to bring you down as they always see when they see pple of ur tribe excelling. They tried to do that to emeagwali,they also tried same to chinua achebe etc. Wish u best of luck babyluv
Are u stupid?
A love story

Chiamanda is my role model,wish I can be like her,God bless Amanda
I love her books, her books are unbelievable...
First time i knew about her was during an Interview on CNN and she was insulting the "whites" and they all clapped.
She is a gem!
The ibos are just too talented from Linda ikeji to chimamanda to kelechi iheanacho.
Asin!!!! I couldn't drop the book till I finished. Half of a yellow sun is another beautiful book. Thumbs up Chimamanda, keep making us proud :)
Cool!

Jenyking, one thing is clear - u don't read.that, however, wldnt v been so obvious if u had just kept quiet...
She is a Nigerian making Africans proud, more power to your elbow.
Jenyking, one thing is clear - u don't read. That, however, would not have been so obvious if you had kept quiet...
She has made Nigeria proud.May God bless her.THis is what we fellow Nigerians should be doing;making our nation proud.God bless y'all.
Hw cud u say dat? U dnt know her so go read abt her. Google is ur friend. If she was in a shade, ur queen bee wudnt see her.
I ve read all her books. Chimamanda is an awesome storyteller. Once you pick her books its always difficult to drop it. Americanah inspired my wife to start going all natural, which I love. Congrats Miss Adichie
Proud of her. Even if it's not her best work. Politely told her that when I met her while getting my book signed. Grab a copy of "half of a yellow sun". Now that's a GREAT read.
Jen,
Ms "eye saw",you're not intelligent.
@ rekiyat
So true, I couldn't believe she wrote the book. Was more of what you would expect a white man to write so I am not surprised they love it. It still remains the most depressing book I have read in a while. I have all her books and her next novel will help me decide if I will remain a fan or not. Currently sitting on the fence.
Really??? Different stroke for different folks. Was scattered and depressing.
Hahahahahahaha people like identifying with success. She left UNN in her 2nd year for Yankee.
A film adaptation has bn made from one of her books(half of a yellow sun) starring Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor. She's been making waves since purple hibiscus.
