Feel free to share your favourite quotes in the comments section. We’d love to hear them.
“Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists
“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognising how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists.
Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie took to her Facebook page to send well wishes to 2023 Presidential aspirant, Peter Obi.
In her post, the award-winning author narrated how the former Anambra Governor has been a part of her family and ended her post saying: “I cannot wait for February 25, 2023, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.”
