And this.
"Chris Abani tells stories of people: People standing up to soldiers. People being compassionate. People being human and reclaiming their humanity. It's "ubuntu," he says: the only way for me to be human is for you to reflect my humanity back at me."
Isn't he great?
ENJOY!

Talks Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story
Have you see this?
"Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding."
Isn't she beautiful and great? ENJOY!

Why do South Africans hate Nigerians?
It looks I am now posting lots of things here. But, well, this has to do with literature. Good Lawd, how couldn't it be the case? After all it is Chimamanda! Friends, she is literature.
Well enjoy some of her interesting thoughts on why Nigerians and South Africans (Black South Africans!) are as friendly as Germans and Brits. Did I take the comparison too far? I don't know. Well, ENJOY!
