President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s media adviser, Bayo Onanuga, has instructed Joe Biden to disregard the open letter that renowned author Chimamanda Adichie wrote to him.
The politician said this in a tweet from his account.
It was previously reported that the legendary novelist had written a letter to Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of Britain and the United States, in which she criticized them for congratulating the winner of the election despite the irregularities that surrounded it.
In a tweet, Mr. Bayo Onanuga dismissed her writing as fiction inspired by the death of a tribesman.
When the letter reaches the US president’s desk, he requested that he throw it away.
Bayo Onanuga wrote:
“Dear President Joe Biden, please just trash the open letter by Chimamanda on Nigeria’s election once it gets to your desk. She wrote fiction, inspired by the monumental loss of her tribesman Peter Obi.”
‘I Am the First Woman In My Hometown To Be Made A Chief, Both Genders Should Be Equally Celebrated’ – Chimamanda Adichie Chimamanda Adichie, has revealed that she is the first woman to be conferred a Chieftaincy title in her hometown, she also urged custodians of culture to ensure both genders are equally celebrated.
The award-winning novelist was conferred with a chieftaincy title by her hometown last Friday.
Adichie, who hails from Abba in Anambra State, was honoured with the title of ‘Odeluwa Abba’. The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, amongst other dignitaries was present at the ceremony.
Appreciating those who supported her during the chieftaincy ceremony on Wednesday, Adichie said her title would open doors of recognition for other accomplished women in their chosen careers.
“I am so grateful to my people of Abba in Anambra State for their warmth and love, for their enthusiastic support. And to Igwe L.N. Ezeh, who has always valued education, for giving me the title of “Odeluwa” — ‘the one who writes for the world.’ (My father received the title of “Odelora” — ‘the one who writes for the community” and the symbolism means very much to me.)
“I am the first woman in my hometown to be made a chief, and it makes me happy to know that more women will follow. Culture does not make people, people make culture. Cultures thrive when they best serve and reflect the people. Ours must become a culture that celebrates achievement, whether it comes from a man or a woman.
“It was a day filled with joyful moments but the highlight for me was the sight of many children on the dusty road, laughing and waving and shouting ‘Odeluwa!’ Amongst them, I hope, were little girls with their hearts full of dreams who feel encouraged to keep trying, to keep going,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Fortunately, the Bayo dude is only known within drug circles while Chimamanda is known and respected by very very important personalities.
Tell them my brother, ndi ara! See how they're all running around like headless chicken cos a woman picked her pen and paper, let this show them how influential the Igbos can be! Just cos we play by the rules doesn't mean we cannot stand up to our enemies when our boundaries are crossed. It's high time the igbos start speaking up, we've been too silent for too long....an election conducted right before our very eyes, everyone clearly saw who the winner was, all of a sudden they twisted the whole thing and released a fake result at night! Where has that ever been done? They're all panicking cos PO isn't someone to be bought, if not they would have bought him over a long time ago. Out of frustration, they released a very fake audio to confuse the gullible ones as if we don't know that voice forgery has been around for some time now. Let them think of something else, we're waiting.

Angel, do you know that there is a special type of joy that I felt this morning, realizing that you're Igbo. I didn't know all these while. I was thinking you're anywhere from the SS region. I love them specially too, but knowing that you are Igbo triggered this tinge of happiness. and you are a really good and calm woman. You are a blessing to your husband. What a lucky man !
What is the color beneath your skin?

Obidients read meaning to any situation they find themselves in.If I kill one million lizards in other parts of Nigeria there's not going to be any issue whatsoever.But if I go to the South East and kill one lizard they'd criticize me for killing their animal,they'd say I'm marginalizing their lizards,they'd say I was sent by Tinubu to come and kill their lizard,they'd say their lizards are been treated unfairly and deserve equal right and justice just like the lizards in other parts of Nigeria. PS:If you are an Obidient and non Igbo then it means you're actually not an Obidient.To them you are a sympathizer and a tool that will be discarded as soon as you help them achieve their goal.
