Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wins Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction

I was about to say it's about time for Africa but then realized that doing so would almost be an insult to the brilliant writers on whose shoulders Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie stands. The writers who have won numerous awards of such repute. Nevertheless, we must and should, in the spirit of oneness, gratitude, pride, and peace, wish Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Amhlophe, Makorokoto, congratulations for winning the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction. I am not going to speechify this great achievement, but still want to celebrate the sister's achievement, she has done all of us proud. I am sure there were people out there who thought she may not make it or those who thought, what in hell is she studying writing for, instead of becoming a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. They too must celebrate.

Still on Nigeria...I am also proud of the recent case in which they are suing Pfizer because it really is about time that we held these multi-national companies accountable for their actions in Africa. I am positive this act will encourage other people to follow suit, whether Nigeria wins, loses, or decides not to pursue the case.
