Her team has come out to affirm that she rejected it but did not state any solid reason for doing so.....
*Sigh*
I guess she did it because she is not happy with the way things are in Nigeria and it is a wrong time to be conferring awards...

Freedom of choice, and she exercised hers, so no big deal.
ReplyDeleteAs she should...
DeleteEven the most accomplished and well educated than she does Ngozi Ewenla received the award talk less of her. Beyoncé sample from her book and now she thinks she is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria? Give me a break!!! Can’t stand these people being awarded for being mediocre but paid the best handler and PR that sells them to the world
DeleteStop hating . She is accomplished in her own right. Pay your own handler and PR make we see where your name for reach. Oniranu
DeleteYou see your life. Even college students here in the States are asked to watch and write on chimamanda’s speech on Ted talk. She no be your mate o
DeleteWill be interesting to see what you have accomplished in your life. I have never seen a shameless government like this. Chimamanda made the right decision
DeleteThis chic head correct. Ms Adichie congrats. How can Buhari stand in front of you to give you what?
DeleteGood, Nigeria is a mess
ReplyDeleteGo girl. Keep making us proud. Nigeria will be great again.
ReplyDeleteBravo 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿If only we had citizens that think of the country and not bothered with the so called prestige that comes with such awards.You critize a government but run to collect their award.
ReplyDeleteTrue! Better Nigeria pikin, we are proud of you jor... The Nigeria water way them take bath you for small e really enter your blood stream. Omo, madam you try.. you are true meaning of a patriotic Nigerian. Oya! Take five 🖐️
DeleteVery good. Wished others did so
ReplyDeleteBecause that's not the problem at hand.the country and the government needs serious overhauling.
ReplyDeleteNgozi Adichie gburu aka!
ReplyDeleteNice one.Chimamanda can do no wrong in my eyes and this just made me love her more
ReplyDeleteYou are a Nigerian.
ReplyDeleteYou accept a foreign award but reject an award from your own country. LMAO.
It is not Baba Buhari acknowledging you o, it is the NATION acknowledging you for your efforts whatever they may be.
I'm sure 99% of the people on that list, Buhari has never heard of. How some of them got on that list is beyond me but let me not digress...
The only tenable reason for rejection is if one feels undeserving of the award or if one believes the caliber of fellow recipients are of dubious character.
Any other thing is some form of virtue signalling.
@Anon, just maybe she doesn't see herself as Nigeria(n)...
DeleteRecognition given in the time of Buhari is not worth accepting. There are different ways we can protest against bad governance and she made the right choice for herself and her conscience.
DeleteLmao. You just open mouth waaa dey talk OP. People boycott awards to show and state displeasure in things. Oscars we’re boycotted that year by majority of artists because blacks felt sidelined. Some alabosi still went to collect awards sha. No shame.
DeleteMany Indians boycotted their NFA awards cos they felt rejected by their president.
British people reject knighthood from time to time.
Try dey read
It's called peaceful protest.
DeleteAnon 13.14. WELL SAID 👏👏👏
DeleteYou're not serious,. Nigeria at its present state is a failed state, who wants a failed state recognising her? No be contamination be that one..
DeleteThat's how you guys are saying Teni disrespected Nigeria and not the president, the president has already disrespected the country,. What she did is actually giving the country respect, at least people would know not everyone is a sycophants and hypocrite over here..
Now these are the kind of girls have some regards for..
Go girls✌️
It is silly to call Nigeria a failed state. 100% of the Igbos here are campaigning for Obi to the president of Nigeria. Is it not irrational to be expecting somebody from your ethnic nationality to be the president of a failed state. Pathetic
DeleteOga Alex..
DeleteWho told you I'm from Obi's ethnic nationality? The problem with you old folks is that your ethnic bigotry has beclouded most of you sense of reasoning, and it's these same toxic traits y'all wna pass to the younger generation, but we have been refusing to buy into it, at least most of us that have sense.
Nigeria remains a failed state presently and the reason we're supporting Obi, yes "WE- of diverse ethnicity" is because he represents hope, the hope of changing the status from its present state, which is this failed state.
To think you're supporting APC's Agbado master is what's really Pathetic.. I'd have said you should be ashamed of yourself but I don't insult elders 🙄
Dante take this 🍺
DeleteNever knew she's this beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and intelligent woman
ReplyDeleteWay to go Ngozi. 👏🏼
ReplyDeleteUnlike some hypocrites that will condemn Buhari daily but still went to collect the awards, shinning their teeth!
Apart from the metallic medal, what other benefits is attached to this award???
Black 🖤🖤 is beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhatever that rocks her boat
ReplyDeleteWe moveeeeee
Thank you anon 11:34
ReplyDeleteAnon 12.12 Said 2nd thank you to @ Anon 11.34 too
DeleteAll I see is her flawless beauty.😍
ReplyDeleteI see a beautiful woman
ReplyDeleteI applaud her for this
ReplyDeleteShe's so beautiful
ReplyDeleteHer choice
ReplyDeleteChimamanda has a mind of her own and I find that attractive.
ReplyDeleteI don't even buy into all her opinion but I love people who stand out and she does.
She did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteSilent protest
Wish others did also
I dey tells u
DeleteShe's beginning to give pseudo intellectual vibes. Na story book she don write, no invention, no solution to any pressing human problems . Honor from your country is the highest honor bequeathed to anybody. Rejecting such shows contempt for your country. So, all the other awards she don collect , the people pure abi? Buhari represents the country, the award is not from him but Nigeria. It was even clear he was surprised by some of the recipients like the paystack guy. It's not like she's targeted or anything of that nature. Buhari is not the only poor Administrator, a lot of countries are not doing well now, UK, US, Germany, Russia etc.
DeleteShe needs to be 'calming down'.
With all her talk about racism, she's contributing significantly to western supremacy by dishonoring her country. What a shame!
