As a Nigerian, seeing you exposing yourself to Chimamanda Adichie really brightens my soul. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
My friend Udeme was a great man.
That's the perspective of the west towards we Nigerians nd Nigeria, they make the world believe hell lies about us, visit Nigeria nd see things for yourself, chimamanda is such a wise woman
Will do!
To be fair, Nigerians ourselves also spread negative narratives about the country.
@@sylviasworld9397 True. I'm so tired
@@sylviasworld9397, such a shame. We are the architect of our own demise..
American women love Chimamanda. The day she came to the Daily Show the room was lit 😂 I have never in my life experience that kind of applause. Goosebumps all over me.
"Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter". Love you guys! I'm Nigerian; similar background to Chimamanda's. One of my favourite videos on UA-cam. Most of us are guilty of this single story stereotype. Thanks for sharing guys. I've just subscribed.
Welcome to the family! That's one of my favorite quotes.
That Quote you referenced was from Chinua Achebe a Nigerian Novelist "Until the lion learns to write, the story of the hunt would always glorify the hunter"
Yes.😊
That is her father
@@abayomialao4916 do your research before dropping misinformation in public space
@@abayomialao4916 No, not true.
@@abayomialao4916 no.
Chimamanda is my all time favorite woman. She is smart, intelligent and speaks eloquently. 🇿🇦 ❤️
Chimamanda is a smart and talented writer and speaker. This is arguably one of the best TED talks. Great one 👍🏾
Yeah she is
But feminism has taut her true nature
Chimamanda is so intelligent and I love y'all reactions, love from lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬
We're glad you do! Much love!
I'm a Nigerian watching from Spain I Like what you guys are doing..
Much love! We're glad you like it!
I'm a South African gyz l like what you are doing wright know the time is 02:00 am l'm at work night shift and l make sure everytime when l'm working my night shift l make sure that l give you my likes that wake l'm saying thanks to you salute gyz
We hope qe help your shift go by faster. Thanks for your support, fam!
Ayyye! Y'all skin's glowing. Chimamanda is brilliant. This conversation is on another level. 👌🏾 I'm happy you reviewed this video; you're both brilliant. I've learnt a lot about Africa, the Americas, Europe, and other parts of the world from your videos. More grace.
We appreciate you, Olive! We're all learning together.
One of the greatest humans on earth. She always dish it out and has been invited to speak just about anywhere in the world. Literary ICON
Chimamanda is one of my mentors even as a man.She is Africa's literary gem.
Awnnn my Chimamanda,pls do more of Chimamanda pls,love you guys soo much.
Chimamanda my greatest mentor.
Much love!
You should read her books, they're very insightful. She's brilliant! Please do more of Chimamanda
Listened to you guys talk about the hate you receive from some Africans and just felt I had to remind you, Africans that love you guys, we are many. We appreciate the effort you take to learn about other parts of the world, including Africa, and we support you in your journey fully. We also love to hear the American perspective and we are also willing to learn about your side. Life is short, and we have to enjoy it, by force 😁 Lots of love from Kenya.
Thank you for your love & support! The hate doesn't bother us, but it is frustrating to be misunderstood. People like you keep us going. Much love always! Thank you for being apart of the journey.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT how can any sane African not love you or support what you do? I find that very strange. Most of us love what you do and how you speak so kindly towards us. God bless you both.
God bless you.❤
I love how the lady talks and the man look at her.... I see friendship, respect and deep bonds❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm glued to this page since i found out about here....🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Welcome to the family!
Chimamanda is my role model❤😊…love from Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Watch their reaction about port Harcourt if you haven't already
I have to purchase her works.Much love!
as an Igbo boy who had a lot of what i'd call "a cultural identity crisis" growing up, people like Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda who are also IGBO, helped me understand and be proud of a lot of things. particularly being IGBO.
seeing you quote Achebe was very heartwarming. especially since, the idea of the story of the hunt glorifying the hunt is something that I had to deal with concerning the genocide of my people in Nigeria. Achebe and Chimamanda have written "There was a country" and "half of a yellow sun", respectively - books that shed light on that genocide.
Igbo's use a lot of proverbs. I hope you'll have time to read "Things fall apart"
EDIT: Chimamanda was recently given an Igbo chieftaincy title of "Odeluwa" which means "one who writes for the world"
This is the story of Nigeria too, God bless Africa
You guys are doing a great job. I'm African and I appreciate what you are doing. The haters are envious of how you are able to create these balanced content, without hate and with humility.
Don't let them deter you. Your African American experience is unique to you and rather than pushing you away, it has propelled you to have empathy and curiosity for your African roots. We love you guys😍😍😍
Thank you so much, Susan. We appreciate you. Much love!
Susan you have great wealth within❤
That's what west has portrait about Africa: poor continent, children are starved to death, people live on trees. Thank God for social networks showing both the good and bad of Africa. Africa has evolved from being poor to rich to some extend.
That quote"until lions have their own historians,the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter" was first made by a Biafran writer chinua achebe in 1994
Western world destroy African imagine fr thank you guys for doing this
Kudos, I love what you guys are doing. The renown author is quite right about the danger of a single story. Thanks for featuring this documentary.
You're most welcome!
You guys are Amazing, Love you from Nigeria 💯❤️
Much love!
Great video. The quote you referenced was actually made by Chinua Achebe, I think in his book; Things fall apart. The Author was a major inspiration to Chimamanda Adichie and African literature in general.
As your Gambian distance brother I love ❤️ guys from the bottom of my heart
Much love right back to you,brother!
It is sad coz I asked my 12 year old Kenyan daughter what she thinks of Africa and she said there is nothing good in Africa. I asked her about the US and she said beauty. I had to start giving her lessons
You caught it in time though. You can definitely turn it around.
I started reading early too. And just like her, I thought books and stories had to have white characters. Then in high school I discovered African literature and the world made sense. Thanks to Nigeria and south African movie industries. I didn't see my skin as other
Thank u for your content, I find your reviews very balanced. As someone on the continent, I get to also learn about African Americans' culture other than what we have come to see on television and at the same time u also get to understand different African cultures, thus bridging the gap and changing the negative narratives on both sides . Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
True!
You are amazingly intelligent as an African old man who follows your channel, most of your reactions are educated this author is my favourite. She is an intellectual giant of Africa well done
Thank you, sir.
Keep up the good work guys! Love from Zimbabwe!!! 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Such a nice coincidence that you referenced a quote from one of africa's greatest writers. Chima'Amanda talked about discovering african literature and writers and one of the names she dropped was Chinua Achebe(widely considered father of african literature... At least for the anglophone Africans). In his 1958 novel, Things fall apart, he wrote... 'until the lion learns to write, every story would glorify the hunter'.
It's great that we all are educating ourselves about different places and cultures. You are doing a great job, keep it up.
I didn't catch it.😅 What a coincidence!
@@TheDemouchetsREACT the proverb 'until the lion learns to write, every story would glorify the hunter' appeared first in Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things fall apart'... It felt right that in the story she named him as one of the writers that introduced her to African literature and you guys used one of his popular proverbs as reference.
Yes, you're right. That was a quote by the legendary Nigerian writer, Chinua Achebe.
Yes, it's his quote.😊
@@african-history-fountain Coincidently, Chimamanda actually grew up in Chinua Achebe's former house, after he had moved out. Something must have been in the air, lol.
The quote is from celebrated author father of modern African literature, Chinua Achebe, who she mentioned in the beginning as her inspiration
Show a people a thing over and over again and that's what they'll become
My favourite novelist and mentor😍😍
Am from Nigeria and you are right my dear brother.. love and respect others
Getting addicted to you guys channel
You're in the right place!
I think the lion quote is from chinua Achebe, you guys are doing well
It is. I didn't want to butcher the name.
Sending love and blessings from Botswana. 🙌🙏❤💪👊
is it the 1st time you react to her (or just see her) ? if yes, keep digging. SHE'S JUST AMAZING. like literally one of the most inspiring person in my life
Yes, first time.
"No perspective of life is wrong" . I'm memorizing that!
🤗
Peace and love to y'all from Nigeria. I love what you guy's are doing changing the narrative of Africa through your reaction videos. Kudos! You guy's are always welcome to Nigeria and Africa at large.
Thank you for reacting to chimamanda
You're welcome.
Your reactions are funny.
I have listened to this Ted talk at least 4 times over the last 11 years. It is very eye-opening, something we must all be conscious of as black people.
I used it in one of my Thesis while doing my masters
Africa Americans... Do you know in 1990s when I was growing up in my village Kenya I would listen to your music and enjoyed so much.... Yet I lived village life normal life....... I know in your imagination you couldn't imagine your culture reached us long time ago... ..😁😁😁I can imagine those days u thought we are in bushes dancing with lions hhhh
Sometimes I think AAs don't know how their cu!ture, especially their music has spread all over the world. I wonder if they were being paid for it. I recently watched a video where an AA accused Africans of wanting to be associated with them now that AAs were popular. I hope her response sunk in for them. She sais, "you have always been popular". Most of us grew up listening to AA music and every now and then reading something about AAs. I remember some very few copies of " Right On!" magazine. Don't know how we got those, I hope I remember the name correctly.
FM or AM radio in Nigeria in the 1980s and 1990s was basically mostly African American music punctuated by news and some special periods for local music.
She has got a chief title and her name is Odeluwa meaning “The one who writes for the world,”
Keep at it. The journey to change perceptions will always breed resistance.
The one thing I like about this channel whenever y'all examine the African people and our culture is how refreshing it is when y'all get disillusioned and enlightened by the right content y'all react to.
It feels sweet when you find things out and react honestly. Lol
I wish other Americans and the rest of the world would seek knowledge like y'all.❤️
Thanks for reacting to this, chimmamanda is a brilliant writer, and I've always loved listening to her, I'm glad that you're now exposed to her as well 🇳🇬
Y’all coming with full force. Videos dropping back to back. Liking this
