What Is Happening To Chimamanda Adichie's Marriage?

| | 0 comments

When Omotola said recently that women should stop seeing themselves as equal with men, many commended her and described her stand as one of the secret of long lasting relationships and marriages. But it appears that popular author, Chimamanda Adichie, is not ready to take that. In fact she told journalist in a public forum that nobody should addressed her in connection with her husband. Is her marriage in crisis?

Below is what transpired between she and a Sun Correspondent. Interesting encounter:


Mrs Chimamanda Adichie, welcome back to Nigeria…
Before we start, please, I just want to say that my name is Chimamanda Adichie. That’s how I want it; that’s how I’m addressed, and it is not Mrs but Ms. Ms: that’s how I want it. I am saying this, because I just got a mail from my manager this morning. It seems that there are people who attended the church service, and they wrote about it, addressing me as Mrs. Chimamanda (Esega). I didn’t like that at all. So my name is Chimamanda Adichie, full stop!

You mean?
This is because it is also responsible that people be called what they want to be called.

You started by telling me that you’re not “Mrs.”…
(cuts in) My name is Chimamanda Adichie. If you want to put label for me, put Ms.

But people know that you’re married. As an Igbo girl, you know our culture…
(Cuts in again) What does our culture do? Let me tell you about our culture. This thing that you are calling our culture –that when you marry somebody, you’ll start calling her Mrs. Somebody – is not our culture; it is Western culture.
-Anyway, I thought Chimamanda is married to a "Western guy", so why the ranting? Or is something wrong?
