Chimamanda Adichie’s Reacts To Her Viral Video Response To French Journalist


Yesterday 26th January, 2018, a video went viral of known author Chimamanda Adichie giving an applause worthy answer to a french journalist’s question on Nigeria having libraries.

The ‘Half Of A Yellow Sun Author’ was quiet for a few seconds and responded, “I think it reflects very poorly on French people that you have to ask me that question”.

Watch video below.

Chimamada has reacted to the video on her facebook page saying the journalist Caroline Broué was intelligent, thoughtful and well-prepared. When she asked the question, I was taken aback because it was far below the intellectual register of her previous questions.

She further said that if the journalist was asking the question from the angle of the declining reach of books in Africa, she wouldn’t have been as shocked as she was.

Chimamanda Adichie was in France as a star guest at a global ideas event called “La Nuit Des Idees” (A Night of Ideas).
