A Nigerian woman who identified as Ijeoma on Facebook has noted that some people who agreed with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie after she wrote a letter to President Biden about the Nigerian election were formerly her core critics.
The lady explained that many who disliked Adichie’s feminist only do so because it does not appeal to their existing sentiments.
Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie is a feminist writer and public speaker who has spoken out about the importance of feminism in society.
Adichie believes that feminism is about giving women a voice and equal rights, and she has spoken out against the way that some people dismiss feminism as a movement that is no longer necessary.
Adichie has also spoken about the importance of intersectionality in feminism, and has argued that feminism should be inclusive of women of all races and backgrounds.
She is now a hero
Ijeoma revealed that celebrating the globally recognized novelist now was a direct portrayal of hypocrisy.
In her words:
“Some Nigerian men that dragged Adichie and called her so many horrifying names cos she is a feminist suddenly turning around and praising her cos she wrote an open letter about Obi. They are suddenly posting her and praising her. Calling her odeluwa, queen, amazing, truth speaker, etc. Person wey una call deceiver, bitter and called her husband a simp. In this Nigeria, just have data. You will see it all.”
