The recent beef directed at Chimamanda Adichie following her open letter to President Biden on the Nigerian election is disappointing. While her words were truthful and lacked any lies, the negative backlash seems to be fueled by her advocacy for women’s rights and feminism especially in Africa(specifiaclly Nigeria.)
It’s disheartening how some scholars and educated individuals have turned her sincere words into a battle, while there is no fault in literary criticism, these comments and views lack criticality and even going as far as comparing her to Wole Soyinka. This behavior is unbecoming of individuals who should be setting an example for the rest of society as intellectuals.
It’s equally disappointing to see educated individuals inciting tribal wars between Soyinka and Adichie. The propaganda being pushed by ill-informed illetrates and individuals is only serving to worsen the already fragile ethnic tensions in the country. It’s time we recognized that our differences should not divide us but rather unite us in the quest for a better Nigeria. We should strive to create a society where individuals can express their opinions and advocate for their beliefs without fear of backlash or hate. We should strive to create a society where we can have constructive dialogue on pertinent issues without resorting to hatred and tribalism.
