nah she's sort of wrong in a lot of her position. She assumes some wrong things about romance. For example some girls say no and they mean yes. This is logic. What she can say is it's not safe to assume she means yes if she says no becaus she probably means No. That's logical but how she presents her ideas is untrue.
@@KAIZORIANEMPIRE that is not logic at all, you talk like you know how women think, I think when somebody man or woman says no, it actually means no, especially when it comes to sex, it can be very dangerous to assume, but I would like to hear an example of when a women will say no and she means yes, also you talk about women like we think differently from men and you 're such an expert on how we think, why would a woman thinking be different from a man, 're we not humans like you, what makes us so special...
maka naki I am a South African. In my judgement she does not have a “heavy” Nigerian accent.I would not know she is Nigerian if I was not told. A sharp contrast with some Nigerians, whose accent is obvious. I suppose Nigerians say the sane of South Africans
The Adeola show Simply that some people have no heavy accents and others do not. I have met several Nigerians in South Africa.With some you can tell they are Nigerians the minute they open their mouths to speak. Not so with others. If you have met black south africans whose mother tongue is one of the South African languages you would also realise that some are more “accented” than others.
This lady is so much more than just a storyteller. She is most certainly a very intellectual person that shares her knowledge and teaching through writing and discussion.
She is a feminine I respect so much, she is cool ,her English is something to copy, I so much admire her albeit am a man but I decided to choose you as role model and a mentor, I pray to be more than you one day
You did not need to say you are a man. The idea of feminism is to be a man and not have to defend being a man and having a woman as a mentor. No shade.. just saying
I just want Chimamanda to go ahead and have a podcast so I can listen to her speak wisdom more often. We can do it once a month for an hour so that she doesn't feel burnt out.
I feel grammatically refresh and inspired anytime I listen to her speech. She is intelligent, beautiful, calm, cool, confindet. You are a blessing to the world.
So I have his exam to write and my best study materials just happen to be Chimamanda's speeches on UA-cam. I am literally stuck with this graceful woman. Chimamanda is bae!
She is a true Icon . She understands the highly misunderstood notion of feminism. As women we should not have the illusion that we are sanctified or special ...we are Human Beings and we should be treated as such . I totally agree with her .
Chimamanda is very intelligent and wise, but i've notice some of these platforms are trying their best to under mind her intelligence and make her controversial! She's very smart and won't fall for their exploitation!
If I were asked today which celebrity I would like to meet. I will definitely want to meet this ICONIC woman. I really admire your diction and your courage
I simply love this woman, just as how people easily misunderstand her message and propagate different stories about her message so will the truth in her message be propagated and easily understood. She is an inspiration and a sweet breath of fresh air. All she says is "We all are humans, male and female, black or white, whatever the class or religion etc, we are humans".
What a wonderful and articulate story teller. I'm so glad she has taken her place on the world stage. An inspiration for us all to tell our own stories for change.
when they say word so shaper than sword; she’s a honest example. She speaks subtly like the piercing of the sword. Just imagine her as the Nigerian ambassador to the United Nation or as a replacement for Lao Mohammed.
31:47 “I’ve learned that oppression works in complicated ways. I’ve learned that we are all vulnerable to stereotypes. We are all guilty of absorbing stereotypes. (...) If you live in a world that devalues a particular group of people, you’re likely to grow up devaluing that group of people, whether or not you are actually a member of that group.”
My sister turned me on to you back in 2011. She had nothing but admiration and pride for an amazing storyteller, ambassador for change, and sharp fashion icon. Your lecture inspires me and sometimes I tune it for a recharge when I'm alone with my thoughts. Thank you for using your platform to continue to inspire, those older than you.
Excellence in every way, shape and form 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 “Nina Simone” don’t let us be misunderstood “out of ignorance some people may say communist” buuuuuuttttt, a communist is not thinking with Lady Adichie’s wider scope of vision, a communist narrow ambition is not anywhere near this woman’s caliber, a communist isn’t thinking on such high levels as Dr. Chimamanda.” An off the charts woman for change. Great heart, Eclectic mindset, admirable ocular prowess and a noble ambition. She utilize a renaissance state of mind envisioning a recreated world on a foundation of values like dignity literacy and respect literacy integrity literacy, the employment of a moral compass. I thoroughly enjoy viewing the world through her lens. Messages reciprocated with great pleasure.

Chimamanda,her though,too much sauce in one person,beauty,brains,authenticity,grace,style... You rock sister,yes,like the African man said,lol Moi,je t'aime
I could listen to her for hours. She fires on all cylinders. Speaking on all the truths! When is her next book coming out though? I miss her writing so much!
Exactly! I thought the same thing especially when i heard her speech in another presentation..she talked about her nephew who she taught maths..same as in the novel..also her sister who was already in the U.S. before she got there..also as represented in the book..it wasn't hard to decode she was IFEMELU😂😂👑✌

Nothing better than a brilliant woman who also happens to be extremely beautiful...and that dress is fire!
True very ?!!!dangerous
Much respect for you !
It's a actually a blouse and skirt.
Lovely lady indeed
Thanks for pointing that out, it just sounded a lot better to me to refer to the outfit as a dress
Considering I’m nearly 50, it’s too late for me to want to be her when I grow up. So, I will just say how amazing she is.
Monica Black awwwww
Age is just a number Monica !! Don't lose hope..
No age is just a number..Nancy pelosi got her rep job at almost 50 when her youngest kid got into college...nothing is too late
My dear u can do anything u r not old pls
As a teacher, I want you to know it is never too late to be anything you want. All you need is resolve, opportunity, and resources.
Am I the only Kenyan watching this and marveled by her brilliance.....
I am here Yvonne she is outstanding. I listen to her every week for two nights
Imagine I look out for all of her talks because she does not have even a you tube channel. Overall she is the best from our generation........
Chimamanda is the reason why we should expose our children to reading and books at a very early age.
Yvonne Kiogora I watch her al the time she is epic
Tuko wengi
This woman made me have what we call a turn around...I became a lover of knowledge. I am emulating her!

Very brilliant lady...
I've been watching her telling her stories countless times..
Jokes aside this woman is goals.💞💞💞

Whenever I feel insecure about my Nigerian accent because "this is America," I listen to Chimamanda.

@@thandasibisi7534 it's relatively mild compared to others but the accent is definitely there. She sounds like a middle class Nigerian person.
@@thandasibisi7534 she sounds like an average Nigerian ...what are you talking about ?
The Adeola show Simply that some people have no heavy accents and others do not. I have met several Nigerians in South

@@thandasibisi7534 True, her accent is mild, you cannot guess right away that she is Nigerian
This lady is so much more than just a storyteller. She is most certainly a very intellectual person that shares her knowledge and teaching through writing and discussion.
I admire her poise and confidence and her incredible ability to address difficult subjects with seemingly effortless boldness and rapt attention
Elegance, eloquence, grace--personified.
Wow
You said 👌
She is a feminine I respect so much, she is cool ,her English is something to copy, I so much admire her albeit am a man but I decided to choose you as role model and a mentor, I pray to be more than you one day
She absolutely amazing woman. I love to live inside her mind what outstanding person.
Feminist*
You did not need to say you are a man. The idea of feminism is to be a man and not have to defend being a man and having a woman as a mentor. No shade.. just saying
@@joyoikeh4278
You have a very narrow understanding of feminism.
First Blessings I definitely would say the same for you. You are very quick to broaden the term
Never get bored of listening to her.
One of the best storytellers of our time, you never disappoint.
i love this woman. these are people our African girls of our days should take as mentors
I’m a non black woman, and I really admire her work. Her work is for everyone, not a small segment of society.
I just want Chimamanda to go ahead and have a podcast so I can listen to her speak wisdom more often. We can do it once a month for an hour so that she doesn't feel burnt out.
She says the whole truth... I wonder why people misunderstand her most times..
@O faithful I guess so...
@Tobby Isiba you are dumb as fk
Tobby Isiba oh dear intelligent women issues hun? Don’t worry, watch trump you can follow his rather childish sentences bigly
Abi
@Tobby Isiba says the person who cannot tell the difference between "as" and "has"😏
Am a jamaican and am so proud of this lady
Me too.
I absolutely adore her! She’s brilliant, beautiful, intelligent; it’s just so admirable 😭😍
I feel grammatically refresh and inspired anytime I listen to her speech. She is intelligent, beautiful, calm, cool, confindet. You are a blessing to the world.
Her statement..."Never Admire Quietly" undeniably Powerful!!!
Listening to this woman's wisdom right upon awakening washed over me like an enlightening sermon. The knowledge of Adichie is truly a blessing
This is my Sunday Sermon today. ❤️❤️❤️
Chimamanda is Queen 👸
Sheer brilliance.
Fact!
You are a true African brain, and I am sure everyone who truly understand your message appreciate your existence. I love you Chimamanda
African Brain? GOD ALMIGHTY GAVE HER THE GIFT!!!!!!
As a parent. We all dream to have a daughter like you. Your intellectual honesty always takes my breath away.
"Any story, if done well is universal" wow
She is so cute and a role model.

I can't get enough of her books and talks. She is the most brilliant and honest person i know of.
She is the truth, thank you chimamanda.
She is not the truth. Think again
@@edwigeseri1629 only Jesus is 👍. Thanks for pointing that out
Interesting that a sista gave her her first break. Never knew that!
I love the focus on Identity and how all we do is tied to it. I'm always fascinated by how Chimamanda writes and speaks.
Classy and elegant woman! She's something amazing!
always a delight watching this amazing woman...once more enough truth said.
Am I the only South African here so proud?
As an Indian I feel equally proud of her writing
Nginawe!🇿🇦

Right
I am asking myself if there are Namibians following this star as it shines the brightest. This meme is the world beyond the pole.
Adichie is amazing
Here here 🇳🇦
The grace, the intellect, the beauty....go ahead Chimamanda!
What a great storyteller!
Simple, elegant, funny.
Old-fashioned in a wonderful way.
Beauty and the brain. Keep repping sis. More wisdom to you always.
she is just an epitomy of balance, equal and liberal. i admire her so much because she is an example i give for my arguments.
Well spoken as usual...so many nuggets of truth in here
31:50 - 32:37 👏👏👏

I never hear you speak, I only visualize every story you tell. You always take me on a ride.
So true👌
Me too...
how can you not like this woman! I smiled all the way through listening to her. I can listen to her whole day without break.
So lovable
Sheer brilliance, her voice is very soothing

One of my favorite Chimamanda speeches. Very well balanced and thoughtful. I love you Queen!
Que mulher maravilhosa!!! Love the way she thinks... it brings the discussion of social issues to a whole other level. 💖💖💖

AMAZING

Beautiful voice and brain.Maya Angelou of our time

“Now my charms are all o’erthrown
And what strength I have’s mine own
Which is most faint
Oh release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails
Which was to please. Now I lack
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant
And my ending is despair
Unless I be relieved by prayer
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults
As you from crimes would pardon’d be
Let your indulgence set me free
I could listen to her all day!!!!
Chimamanda is a blessing & precious gift that Africa has!!
A quiet sense of confidence, yet so bold 👑
How lovely it'll be meeting Chimamanda....
I listen to your speeches like a music addict listens to music
Very good, constructive, articulate, and consentient. Keep up the good work
