Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor and politician, has revealed the birth of a son with his second wife, actress Judy Austin.
May has four kids with his first wife, whom he married in his early twenties.
On Wednesday, April 27, the 2023 Nigerian candidate for president announced the birth of his son by his colleagues, Judy Austin, whom he also identified as his second wife, on his official Instagram page.
Yul commented, “Sharing images of himself and his infant child beside Judy’s prenatal photos,
“It’s time for the world to meet my son. His name is STAR DIKE MUNACHIMSO YUL-EDOCHIE. Born by my second wife @judyaustin1. And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children.”.
May lambasted the two in the comments section after learning of this long-held secret and unexpected revelation.
“May God Judge you both”

Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie, a native of Anambra State, is a prominent Nigerian Actor and the son of one of Nigeria’s finest actors and screen legends, Pete Edochie. Yul Edochie was born on the 7th of January 1982 and grew up in Lagos and Enugu States, respectively.
If you watch Nollywood home videos a lot (like me), then you surely cannot miss his voice. Deep, masculine, loud yet engaging, you cannot miss it, even if you try. Apart from his unique voice, the surname Edochie also rings a bell in the mind of every Nigerian, especially if you were born before the 2000s. Read further, and let me tell you why.
He began his education at Lillian’s Day Nursery School and Robinson Street Primary School from 1984 to 1992. He attended up to four Secondary schools between 1992 to 1998, all located in Enugu- Marist Brothers’ Juniorate, Uturu, University Secondary School, Enugu, Ecumenical Community Secondary School and then New Haven Boys Secondary School before graduating in 1998.
After his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of Port Harcourt to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Dramatic Arts. While at the University of Port Harcourt, he met his wife, May Aligwe and the two got married six years later. Yul Edochie got married to his heartthrob at the age of 22 years in 2004, and the marriage was blessed with three children, 3 boys and 1 girl.
He entered the Nollywood industry at the age of 23, starring in ‘The Acquires as his first movie, where he featured alongside Justus Esiri and Chidi Mokeme. He kept his acting and continued to act as a feature character in many movies till his big break came in 2007 when he acted with Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie, ‘Wind of Glory.’ Since his big break, he has continued to act in versatile roles in the industry, especially in home videos.
As someone who saw his father actively acting in movies, he understands the industry to a great extent and the type of talents Nigeria can offer to the world. He felt Nigeria was not doing enough in regard to the film industry, so he went ahead and created his film academy in 2015 in a bid to train the next generation of Nollywood actors and actresses.
In July 2017, Yul Edochie relayed to the public that he had every intention to run for office in the Anambra State Governorship election. He was the Governorship candidate for the Democratic People’s Congress Party and when the election took place in November 2017, he took the 19th position out of the 37 candidates that ran for the same office post. In 2018, the current governor of Anambra State, Dr Willie Obiano, appointed Yul Edochie as the senior special assistant to the governor of creative and entertainment media.
He is the last child of Mr Pete and Mrs Josephine Edochie and has five older siblings. He has other family members in the Nollywood industry and has continued showing passion for what he does. He currently lives in Lekki, Lagos, with his family. He attributes his inspiration to his father, Pete Edochie, and to other actors like Jim Iyke, Emeka Ike, Nonso Diobi, Charles Inojie, Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, and many others.
Yul Edochie Net Worth
As a prominent Nollywood Actor, Entrepreneur, Politician and Philanthropist, he has an estimated net worth of $1.8 million.
He is listed as one of Nollywood’s most expensive actors.
Yul Edochie Cars
As one of Nollywood’s finest, he does not shy away from acquiring luxury cars to his name. Some cars in his car collections are:
Lexus GX 460 SUV
His Lexus GX 460 is a full-size luxury SUV boasting potent off-roading and luxury features. On his Instagram page on Wednesday, the 39-year-old actor shared a lone picture of himself posing with his Lexus GX 460 SUV. While giving thanks to God for providing the ride after 16 years, he prayed that the next 16 years would be more fruitful.
“16yrs of hustle.
Everywhere good”
“The next 16yrs will surely be better. Insha Allah” — with Insha Allah meaning by God’s grace.

What does "Most Famous" mean?

In 1906, news broke that a railway line was being constructed from Kano heading southwards. People came out of the remote villages and travelled up to Kano to see what was happening. Suleiman Sale, a teenage Hausa boy was among those who flocked to the city and played a role in laying the tracks requiring many hours of work every day. There were many like him who laboured on the expanding line, which began to cut through territories, forests, valleys and plains. This was something new and many turned up to be part of the activity. There were hundreds of workers and an economy sprang up as the work progressed.
Suleiman Sale’s decision has led to the emergence of what today appears to be a vibrant Hausa community in Enugu State.
Fertile land
Kano had a vast fertile land and produced abundance of crops at every harvest. It was necessary to create a system that would be used to convey farm produce and other valuables to the coast for onward shipment to Europe.
The colonial government, therefore, planned a railway line spanning North and South, sections of which branched off the main line to access adjoining communities, but remained connected to it. Using the technology of the period, the tracks began to inch close to the South, but it was hard work.

A google search indicates that the rail line referred to here may have been that of Kano to Port Harcourt, which came into use in 1914. In other words, the line may have been under construction as at 1906 when Sale was said to have joined the group laying the railway lines from Kano.
Coal Camp
Sale eventually reached Enugu, settled and married there and is the grandfather of Suleiman Haruna Sule, the current Sarkin Hausawa of Enugu. He was a pioneer in cattle trade in the area, and through him and the activities of a number of enterprising Hausa traders, such as the famous Baba Girei and Baba Enugu, the huge trade in cattle between North and South began to blossom.
He lived in the Coal Camp area of Enugu, originally a dwelling for miners who worked in coal mines and owned many houses there. Today, Sarki Sule lives in Coal Camp too, continuing the family’s historical and social connection with the camp.
The atmosphere was festive when Sarki returned to his house during my visit. A few weeks earlier, he had been installed as the new leader of the Hausa community, and his neighbours could not hide their joy when he made a grand entry in his traditional gown and turban. They were ecstatic.
My earlier investigations in Enugu also revealed that the coal mines also played a role in attracting the Hausa to the city. Some actually worked in the mines. There are traders who convey tomatoes, onions, dried fish and other produce to Enugu from the North. They too have played a role in growing the Hausa community in the city, as well as the migrant labourers.
Baba Enugu
It is impossible to do a report on the Hausa in Enugu without looking at the life of Baba Enugu, son of Baba Girei, who was also popular in the area. Baba Enugu was a nickname given to him by his friends, who admired him greatly.
Speaking during an earlier interview, Nura Enugu, his son said, “My father was given that name by his friends. He was born and brought up here in Enugu, and people soon forgot his real name. His actual name was Adamu Baba Girei. He was a businessman and handled many contracts around here. He supplied items to the prison and was a big cow trader. He had three wives and 12 children. He was the first man to introduce a town service in Enugu. Every Thursday and Friday, everyone could enter his buses free of charge. Every Friday he would slaughter cows at his house, along Ogui Road and entertain the entire Enugu community.”
The life of Baba Enugu is the story of one individual whose business efforts and stellar example had impact on Enugu community, endearing his family to many.
Gariki
New Gariki is the part of Enugu where Sarkin Hausawa has an office. This is Enugu’s main cattle market and abattoir. It is a very busy place with trailers laden with cattle arriving from time to time from distant markets in the North. It also has an extensive field where the cattle wait for buyers. Those who feed and clean the cattle or help to remove them from trailers or clean the trailers are always busy moving up and down.
There are numerous stalls and the large population of Hausa traders or young men connected to the cattle trade in one way or another. Outside, to the right of the main entrance are numerous migrant workers known as Yan Cirani, who travel down to the South to earn some money once dry season sets in up North. They sit in a group with a variety of working tools around them.
‘Igwe’
Deep within the network of shops is Sarki’s office, and many persons, both Hausa and non-Hausa, stop to greet him, saying respectfully, ‘Igwe’, ‘Igwe’, the Igbo word for king. He too responds in Igbo.
Nearby is a mosque and further down are mini restaurants where women are either preparing meals or are actually serving customers. Gariki and its population inevitably play a role in preserving Hausa culture. There are mobile barbers, tea sellers or Mai Shayi, hawkers of all sorts of items, and tailors providing a much-needed service in the market. Very soon, we came across an Islamic school in session.
1,000 cows
Baba Ali arrived in Enugu at the end of the civil war. The chairman of the cattle market said, “I got here from Adamawa in 1970. At that time, the first abattoir was at Artisan. We packed from there to Coal Camp, and from there, we moved to Awkunanu, the other Gariki. From there, we came here. Urban expansion caught up with us. That is why we had to move.”
On the impact changing times he said, “You cannot compare that time and now. At that time, not only did trailers bring cows, trains also brought animals. People also trekked from Cameroon with cows, all the way to Enugu. From Adamawa, they crossed to Benue, as well as Nkalagu before coming here. That was the route they used. It took one month or, at the earliest, 40 days to trek from Cameroon to Enugu with the cows.”
He said there was a time in the 1970s when up to 1,000 cows were slaughtered within the neighbourhood of Gariki in one day, implying but that things have changed.
‘How we left for Otukpo’
Shuaibu Musa was born in Enugu in 1951 and belongs to the family of Sarkin Hausawa. He spoke on the career of his famous grandfather and the growth of the Hausa community with people who came from Chad Cameroon, Maiduguri, Yobe and Plateau states.
On the civil war he said, “The civil war affected cattle trade. It also affected the growth of the Hausa community. At that time, all of us moved to Otukpo in Benue State, being the border between the North and South East.
Effects of sit-at-home order
Significant Hausa population in the state can be found at Ugwoba, 9th Mile, New Gariki, New Artisan Market, Owerri road, Akwata market, Coal Camp, Abakpa, Obollo Afor, Emene and Agbani. Suleiman Haruna Suleiman is the leader of the Hausa community in Enugu, popularly referred to as Sarkin Hausawa.
Commenting on the sit-at-home directive by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its impact on his community he said, “We cannot do anything about the situation. The Hausa community here is living in a little bit of fear because of the sit-at-home order, which takes effect on Mondays. And Monday is the day we usually start our trade. If you come to the cattle market on Mondays, nobody comes around. Even the Hausas living in the town come here for security or to be with their brothers. If you are in a place that is not your land, you have to abide by their laws.”
‘We lose millions of naira’
Shedding light on the financial losses occasioned by the sit-at-home order, Sarki Suleiman said, “We don’t kill cows anymore in the market on Mondays. On ordinary days we kill more than 20. This is something in the range of N20million, if we are to provide a figure. Thus, N20m is lost every Monday owing to the order.”
Suleiman added that his people were not too keen on education because many believe that the reason for coming to Enugu is trade. They also don’t wish to buy land and build houses because they believe they will be in the city for a short time.
He, however, said, “We are trying to educate them by telling them that we have been here since 1906. My grandfather came to Enugu with the railway people. He was a labourer from Kano. That’s what my father told me. We settled here in Coal Camp because it was the oldest place in Enugu at that time. My father was born here.”
He said although some Hausa people were born in Enugu, they had started returning to the North. He added, “Two weeks ago, I went to Kano for a wedding. A cousin got married and at the ceremony there were so many Hausa people speaking Igbo because they were born in Enugu and later resettled in Kaduna.”
Migrant labourers
On Yan Cirani, Sarki Suleiman said, “These are those who leave their communities to go to another town, seeking jobs to make some earnings. This is done in the dry season up North. When they come here to find jobs they make more money than they would make in the North. Thus, some of them decide to settle here permanently and even marry.
‘All the Hausa here in the East are products of Yan Cirani. Remember that my grandfather came here laying the railway tracks from Kano. That is a form of Yan Cirani. Our origin can be traced to the culture of Yan Cirani.’
Baba Wakili said there were more than 300 migrant labourers at Gariki who hail from Bauchi, Jigawa, Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe, Kano, Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna.
Wakili, chairman of the group of migrant labourers at Gariki said, “We go back in May when the rains have started in the nNrth. We plant crops, do the harvest and return to the East in January.”
Effects of insecurity of cattle trade
Chuka Ogbonnaya, who has been selling cows at Gariki for over 20 years, spoke of his many trips to distant parts of the North, such as Maiduguri and Bauchi, from where he buys cows and returns to Enugu.
“Before the advent of Boko Haram I used to go to many places in the North, such as Bauchi, Mubi, Maiduguri, Jigawa and Taraba to buy cows. I also used to go to Damboa, but I can’t go there now because of insecurity. There are many Igbo people involved in the cattle trade,” he said.
Abdullahi Garba, the secretary of the Fish dealers Association, Akwata Market also said, “There are more than 300 fish dealers in this market. I was born here and I speak Igbo, but I am Hausa from Dawakin Kudu in Kano. There are many Hausa and Kanuri people here. I don’t know the actual number but we are many.”
Nasiru Shehu, the chairman of Hausa onion dealers in another part of the market explained that onions were usually brought in from Kaduna and Sokoto states, and that a full trailer of the commodity contained 250 bags. On storage facilities, he said, “You can store onions in the North, but because of the wet condition of the South you cannot do that it. The rainy season is really not good for onions. When rain falls upon the commodity it quickly goes bad.”
Trips to police station
Sariki Suleiman also spoke about the problems young Hausa boys face while travelling to Enugu from the North, saying, “I have been going to police stations to bail my people because policemen will arrest somebody because of the little knife he tied around his waist. And they are always with knives because of the animals they move around with in the bush. If the animals die, they will slaughter it because we don’t eat anything that is dead. That’s why they move about with knives. Sometimes, I go to police stations many times in a month. On some occasions, the boys are taken to court without our knowledge.’
They bought lands, built houses
Speaking on the absence of specific Hausa quarters in Enugu as obtains in other neighbouring states in the South East, Sarki Suleiman said, “Maybe our past Hausa chiefs were not talking about this, or it is because we feel relaxed. Perhaps the first Hausa people that came to Enugu were hard working. They bought lands and built houses all over. Again, at that time it would be hard to tell them to go to a particular settlement.
‘I speak several Igbo dialects’
Mohammed Salisu, who sells goats at New Gariki, also said the sit-at- home order had affected his business.
“It affects the trade negatively. Previously, Mondays were the most important, but now, the market begins on Tuesdays.
“Our people look at the sit-at-home as a way of encouraging people to go back to the North. But we believe that whatever happens, we will suffer and survive with the indigenous people. My condition here is similar to that of the indigenous people due to the fact that I was born here. I speak different Igbo dialects in Enugu, as well as the Abakaliki dialect,” Salisu, a graduate of History and International Studies said, adding that he hopes to get enough money to enlarge his goat business.

Nigerian actor and self-styled pastor, Yul Edochie has sparked a stir on social media by telling his followers to spend their savings rather than put them aside for the future.
Edochie urged his Instagram followers to “chop their money” and give part to those in need, pointing out that death is inevitable and they will leave behind their savings if they don’t spend it.
Responses to Edochie’s remarks have been divided; some have called on him to live in the moment and share with others, while others have criticized his advise as careless and reckless.
Yul expanded on his views, stating that life is not as serious as people make it out to be and that everyone will eventually die.
He emphasised the importance of enjoying one’s life and sharing with others, rather than hoarding wealth.
“We’re all going to die. It’s only a matter of time. e go reach everybody. Life is not that serious. Na we just dey take am too serious. That money wey you dey hide, bring am out, chop am well well. Share some with other people. If not, you go still leave am die,” he said.

Here are five Nigerian celebrities who were born in November:
Davido
Our one and only omo baba olowo David Adeleke was born on November 21 1992 in Atlanta Georgia and then raised in Lagos state, Nigeria. He rose to fame after the release of his smash hit Dami Duro from his 2011 album and has continued to rise higher and higher since then and is currently on the level of international superstardom. The singer even recently welcomed a set of twins with his wife Chioma, news that sent the nation into a state of jubilation. From his music to his admirable social media presence, to his consistent generosity, and his enviable lavish lifestyle, Davido is a cherished star.

Don Jazzy
Our childhoods will have never been the same without hearing 'It's Don Jazzy again' and a sick beat drop after. We celebrate our Mavin boss Michael Collins Ajereh who was born on November 26 1982. Don Jazzy gained prominence during his days in Mohits records which he owned alongside D'banj. After the record label dissolved, he established the well-known record label Mavin under which stars like Tiwa Savage, Rema and Ayra Starr were signed. It is safe to say that the Don is a kingmaker of sorts.

Flavour

May Yul Edochie, the estranged wife of actor, Yul Edochie, reflecting on the past year – 2023, said it stole her flesh and blood leaving her in the most devastating, miserable, and confused state.
The PUNCH reported the passing of 16-year-old Kambiichukwu, first son of May and actor Yul Edochie, who passed after he slumped while playing football in school.
Sharing a worship video on her Instagram account on Monday, May expressed the grief and devastation that the year brought, describing it as a period that snatched away her “flesh and blood” and left her in a state of misery and confusion.
She said, “Dear 2023, you were pregnant on the very first day of Jan unknown to anyone what you would deliver. You dealt with me in the most catastrophic ways…. Too many adversities/misfortunes and the worst of it, you stole my own flesh and blood, leaving me in the most devastating, miserable, and confused state that I could never have imagined.
“I lost all hope and nearly gave up, I had too many questions eating me all up but I kept hearing that voice echoing, ‘Who am I to question God?’
“I struggled so hard and stood on God’s words commanding us to give Him praise in every situation despite how difficult it is. Truly, I appreciate all the good people you made me cross paths with (my family, friends, strangers turned friends and my online family).
“I cannot begin to list names because it is endless but I want y’all to know that I will forever remain thankful for the incredible level of love and support showered upon me and my family in our most difficult times.
“I’m grateful to God Almighty for being God in my life, in other words, I’m so glad that man is not God.
“2023, it is with all that is within me, I say goodbye to you forever as I embrace the new year 2024 singing my song with a life of thanksgiving, a life of forgiveness, and a life of commitment to God.
“I pray that God in His infinite mercy and goodness will bless us all and shield us under His constant love.🙏 Afflictions shall never rise in our homes in Jesus’ name🙏, I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year! ❤️”

Açaí Berries
There are reports that children, as young as age 8, are engaged in the harvesting of açaí berries in Brazil. Evidence of child labor has been found in the city of Abaetuba, a major center for açaí berry production, in the State of Pará. Children are involved in the harvesting season from August until January each year, alongside their families. Most families in the region rely on the harvest as their main source of income. Reports and field research indicate that children are seen as extremely valuable to the harvest due to their physical stature and natural agility, qualities that allow them to climb the açaí berry trees’ tall and thin trunks more easily without the trees breaking. Açaí berry picking is considered to be a highly dangerous job in Brazil, requiring those involved in its harvest to climb great heights, sometimes up to 65 feet. Children engaged in açaí berry harvesting not only are required to scale very tall trees, but they also lack proper protective equipment, transport large knives with serrated blades in the back of their shorts, and are exposed to hot climate conditions and environments that include venomous insects and other dangerous animals.
Amber
There are reports that children as young as 7 engage in illegal amber extraction in Ukraine. Children from low-income families in the Polesia region of western Ukraine, including in Rivne, Volyn, and Zhytomyr Oblasts, are particularly vulnerable to involvement in amber extraction. For example, one human rights organization reports that thousands of school children extract amber, and that their labor is essential to the amber industry. According to media reports and local government officials, child labor is systemic in the illegal amber extraction industry and is a growing problem. The amber extraction process creates large pits and exposes children to risk of injuries when extraction pits collapse. Children engaged in illegal amber extraction are also at risk of violence at the mining site.
Baked Goods
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in the production of baked goods in El Salvador. According to the Government of El Salvador’s Multi-Purpose Household Survey of 2015, a working child is considered to be engaged in hazardous child labor if the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 123,259 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous child labor in El Salvador, including using dangerous tools, carrying heavy loads, working with chemicals, working long or night shifts, and being exposed to dust, smoke, or extreme heat or humidity. Approximately 9,737 of these children in hazardous child labor are engaged in the production of baked goods. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of El Salvador’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Baked Goods
There is evidence that children under the age of 14 produce baked goods in Pakistan. An analysis of the Pakistan Labour Force Survey 2017–2018 considers all work performed by children under age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, it is estimated that 15,404 child laborers produce baked goods. Children who work in producing baked goods may be at risk of exposure to hazards including working long hours, carrying heavy loads, and exposure to extreme temperatures and toxic fumes. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgment that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bamboo
There are reports that children as young as age 10 are forced to work in the production of bamboo in Burma. According to the ILO and NGOs, forced child labor is pervasive, particularly in Karen, Shan, and Arakan States near military camps, with children constituting up to 40 percent of forced laborers being used for a variety of activities, including the production of bamboo. Some of these children are sent by their families to fulfill a mandate imposed by the military that requires each household in a village to undertake specified forced labor activities. Villagers, including children, are forced by local officials and the military to work cutting bamboo for the military camps. The forced child laborers are not paid for their work, and face physical violence or other punishment if they refuse to work.
Bananas
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 13 cultivate bananas in Brazil. The Government of Brazil’s 2015 National Household Survey considers all work performed by children below age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, an estimated 2,936 child laborers cultivate bananas. The ILO has found that generally children who work in agriculture may be at risk of exposure to hazards including, working long hours, carrying heavy loads, using dangerous tools, and exposure to the elements, physical injuries, and chemicals, such as pesticides. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Brazil’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Beans
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow beans in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 71,839 child laborers grow poroto beans throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 31,372 of child laborers growing poroto beans are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that child labor also occurs in the cultivation of other varieties of beans, including habilla, poroto manteca, and feijao, and that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor producing beans. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bovines
There is evidence that children between the ages of 5 and 14 engage in the production of bovines in Cambodia. In Cambodia, bovines are primarily used for domestic consumption and for farming purposes, and are raised by approximately 1.4 million smallholders primarily located in provinces bordering the Mekong River, with a heavy concentration found in the southern rice-producing provinces. Based on analysis of the 2016 Cambodian Socio-Economic Survey, an estimated 59,693 children are involved in child labor in the production of bovines. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Cambodia’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgment that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bovines
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 work in bovine raising in Ecuador. Based on the analysis of Ecuador’s 2019 National Survey of Employment, Unemployment, and Underemployment, an estimated 10,564 children under the minimum age for work are involved in child labor in bovine raising. The ILO has found that generally, children who care for farm animals may be at risk of exposure to potential health consequences, including injuries from kicks and infections from animal bites and exposure to harmful bacteria. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Ecuador’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bovines
There is evidence that children ages 8 to 17 raise bovines in Eswatini. Child labor in this sector is concentrated in the rural areas of Hhohho, Lubombo, Manzini, and Shiselweni. In 2018, the Government of Eswatini and the International Labor Organization published results from the 2014 Survey on Child Labor in Herding in Rural Areas in Eswatini. According to international standards on the minimum age for work, children working below the age of 15 are engaged in child labor. The survey estimates that 72,332 children below the age of 15 raise bovines. Children perform physically arduous tasks while herding in the grasslands and mountainous regions, and risk occupational injury and disease from exposure to dangerous tools, insecticides and herbicides. Children’s injuries include fractures, dislocations and sprains, burns, frostbite, breathing problems, skin problems, extreme fatigue, and snake bites. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Eswatini’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bovines
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 14 are involved in the raising of bovines in Ghana. Based on an analysis of the Ghana Living Standards Survey, an estimated 10,049 child laborers are involved in the raising of bovines. The ILO has found, depending on the conditions, that herding, shepherding, and handling livestock may be considered as hazardous work. Injuries from animals include being bitten, butted, jostled, stamped on, gored, or trampled. Large and small animals do not need to be aggressive to cause serious harm or even kill a child. Children rarely wear protective shoes or boots, and this increases their risk for additional injuries and illnesses such as cuts, wounds, bruises, thorn injuries, skin disorders, and infections. Diseases can be contracted through routine contact with animals, insects, pathogens in animal carcasses, and work near livestock stabling areas and butchering houses. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Ghana’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Bovines
There is evidence that children under the age of 14 raise bovines in Pakistan. An analysis of the Pakistan Labour Force Survey 2017–2018 considers all work performed by children under age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, it is estimated that 31,516 child laborers raise bovines. The ILO has found that generally, children who work in livestock cultivation may be at risk of exposure to hazards including working long hours, being injured by the animals, and exposure to the elements, diseases, and chemicals such as disinfectants. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgment that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Brazil Nuts/Chestnuts
There are reports that children are forced to harvest Brazil nuts in Bolivia. Forced child labor in the production of Brazil nuts is known to be found in the Amazon region in particular, and migrant workers are particularly vulnerable. According to international organizations, NGOs, and the U.S. Department of State, many children are forced to work, often with their families, under conditions of bonded labor. Often entire families, including children, are given an advance payment to work in the harvest, and then incur more debt during the harvest. The families are prohibited from leaving, even once the harvest is complete, until their debts are paid off. Sometimes identity papers and wages are withheld as a means to restrict freedom of movement.
Bricks
There are reports that children are forced by the military to work in the production of bricks in Burma. According to NGOs, forced child labor in brick production is pervasive, particularly in Northern Rakhine State and near military camps. In some cases, children are recruited into the military and forced to live in barracks and work for years in brick production; in other cases, children are sent by their families on rotation to fulfill the military's forced labor mandate for their household. The children are not paid for their work, and they face physical abuse and other punishments for refusing to work or for producing work that is considered of unacceptable quality.
Bricks
There are reports that children are forced to produce bricks in Cambodia. According to international researchers and NGOs, numerous incidents of forced child labor have been reported in Cambodia. Reports estimate over 9.3 percent of brick workers are children. However, with upwards of tens of thousands of workers employed at brick kilns and the casual nature of work in brick kilns, this number is likely higher. A cycle of multi-generational debt bondage is created when adults are unable to pay back the high interest charged on loans offered by brick kiln owners and are forced to pass along outstanding debts to their children. Children either inherit or are born into debt bondage and are threatened with arrest or are forced to pay additional debt if they try to leave the brick kiln without repaying their debts in full.
Bricks
There are reports of children working under conditions of forced labor to produce bricks in India's kilns. The most recently available information from a trade union report indicates that in the State of Haryana alone, as many as 40,000 children, many of them forced laborers, are working in brick kilns. Bonded labor in the brick industry is found across India, including in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The kilns use a system of bonded labor in which children often work alongside other members of their debt-bonded families. Some of these children are forced to work as a guarantee for loans to their parents. Families take an advance payment from recruiters and then are forced to work to pay off the debt; the debt rolls over from one year to the next, binding the worker in a cycle of debt bondage. Children in scheduled castes, a socially disadvantaged class in India, and of migrant families, are particularly vulnerable to forced labor. Some children are forced to work under threat of physical violence. Some children and their families are not paid regularly, do not receive the promised wages, and are prohibited from leaving the worksite.
Bricks
There are reports that children ages 7 to 17 produce bricks in Iran. Media reports indicate that most brick kiln workers are Afghan migrants whose children work alongside them in the summer months. There are reports of child labor in the production of bricks in various parts of the country, including Tehran, Shahr-e Rey, and Gorgan. For example, available data indicates that there are 25,000 workers in brick kilns in Tehran Province, and news articles report that in one town in Tehran Province, the majority of the brick kiln workforce consists of school-aged children who do not attend school. According to Iranian news outlets, children in the brick kilns work more than 8 hours a day and are exposed to injuries, dust, and extreme heat.
Bricks
There are reports that children ages 6-17 and some younger than age 5 are working under conditions of forced labor to produce bricks in Nepal. According to available information from an NGO report, two-thirds of the children are male. Brick kilns are concentrated in the Kathmandu Valley and Terai, and operate seasonally between October and June. According to the most recently available NGO data, between 30,000 and 60,000 children work in Nepal's brick kilns, of which up to 39 percent are working as bonded labor. Migrant families, members of certain castes – a socially disadvantaged class in Nepal – and ethnic minorities, such as Dalit, Janajati, and Madeshi, are particularly vulnerable to bonded labor in brick kilns. Most of the children are from Nepal, however some are from West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, India. Many families take advance loans from brick kiln employers or brokers with a commitment to produce a specified quantity of bricks, and become bonded laborers. Their children are bound by their parents' debt and work alongside their families making bricks. The bonded families live at the kiln worksites, without access to safe water or sanitation facilities, and are prohibited from leaving until the debts are paid in full. Some bonded children are forced to work 12 hours a day, and receive little, if any, payment after wage deductions to repay the family debt. Some children are penalized by their employers with verbal or physical abuse.
Bricks
There are reports that children in Pakistan work under conditions of forced labor producing bricks. According to the most recently available data from the media, the ILO, and a university study, there are hundreds of thousands of these children across Pakistan. The brick industry uses a system of bonded labor under which children, from a very young age, often work alongside their debt-bonded families. Because the debts are sometimes inherited, many children are born into the bonded labor. Under the Pakistani “peshgis” bondage system, families are not free to leave the kiln, and are forced to produce quotas of 1,000 or more bricks per day under threat of physical violence or death. Brick workers, including children, are forced to work without masks, goggles, gloves, shoes, or other safety equipment.
Bricks
There are reports that adults are forced to produce bricks in Russia. Both men and women are exploited for forced labor in informal brick factories in the Northern Caucasus region of Dagestan; however, victims are primarily male job-seekers recruited in Moscow. According to a local NGO and media reports, hundreds of individuals have been subjected to forced labor in brick factories. Recruiters in Moscow frequently drug and abduct victims who are then sold to brick factory owners in Dagestan. Other victims are recruited through deception regarding the location of work and the anticipated wages. Victims and a local NGO report that factories frequently withhold all wages, sometimes confiscate workers’ passports and cellphones, and sometimes use physical violence, especially when workers try to leave.
Cabbages
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow cabbages in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 4,146 child laborers grow cabbages throughout rural areas in Paraguay. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Carpets
There are reports that children are forced to produce carpets in Nepal. Children age 14 and older are found in registered carpet factories, while children younger than 14 are found in informal, unregistered carpet factories. Carpet factories are concentrated in the Kathmandu Valley. Some children work alone or with their families as bonded laborers in the factories. Most children do not receive payment for their work. Some children work to pay off advance payments for their labor made by the employer to the recruiter or their families. These children live in the factory or nearby in accommodations provided by the employer. The children are not free to leave until the debt has been repaid. Many of the children are forced to work long hours and overtime, up to 18 hours per day; many cannot leave the factory even after they have completed their long workday. Such children are punished by employers for refusing to work, missing production quotas, falling asleep, or making mistakes.
Carpets
There are reports that children as young as age five are forced to work in the production of carpets, often through a system of bonded labor. Based on reports from the ILO and the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), as many as half a million children have been producing carpets under conditions of forced labor throughout the country. Children of migrants, refugees, and impoverished families are particularly vulnerable to this practice. Typical of the Pakistani “peshgis” system, children are often sent to work to pay off their family's debt. Families accept a loan in the form of advanced payment for a year of their child's work, and the child is prohibited from leaving the workplace until the debt is paid in full. The children live in the workplace, away from their families, and do not have the freedom to leave. Some children are forced to work without equipment to protect them from exposure to toxic chemicals and dust. The children are paid little, and deductions are taken from their wages for food and shelter. Some children are fined or beaten for any mistakes.
Carrots
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow carrots in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 4,877 child laborers grow carrots throughout rural areas in Paraguay. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Cashews
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow cashews in Vietnam. According to the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, the results of which were published in 2014, an estimated 14,469 child laborers work to grow cashews. Approximately 55.7 percent, or 8,059, of these child laborers are under 15 years old, which is the minimum age for employment in Vietnam. Of the estimated 14,469 child laborers who grow cashews, 24.3 percent are 5-11 years old, 31.4 percent are 12-14 years old, and 44.3 percent are 15-17 years old. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Cattle
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in cattle raising in El Salvador. According to the Government of El Salvador’s Multi-Purpose Household Survey of 2015, a working child is considered to be engaged in hazardous child labor if the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 123,259 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous child labor in El Salvador, including using dangerous tools, carrying heavy loads, working with chemicals, working long or night shifts, and being exposed to dust, smoke, or extreme heat or humidity. Approximately 3,698 of these children in hazardous child labor are engaged in cattle raising. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of El Salvador’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Cattle
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 raise cattle in Paraguay. National legislation designates cattle raising as a hazardous activity prohibited for children in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 142,127 child laborers raise cattle throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 67,141 child laborers raising cattle are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor in cattle raising. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Cereal Grains
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in the production of cereal grains in El Salvador. According to the Government of El Salvador’s Multi-Purpose Household Survey of 2015, a working child is considered to be engaged in hazardous child labor if the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 123,259 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous child labor in El Salvador, including using dangerous tools, carrying heavy loads, working with chemicals, working long or night shifts, and being exposed to dust, smoke, or extreme heat or humidity. Approximately 40,675 of these children in hazardous child labor are engaged in the production of cereal grains. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of El Salvador’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Chile Peppers
There are reports that men and women are forced to work in the production of chile peppers in Mexico. According to media reports, NGOs, and the U.S. Department of State, there are hundreds of forced labor victims working to produce chile peppers. Many of these victims report being recruited by middlemen, called enganchadores, that lie to workers about the nature and conditions of the work, wages, hours, and quality of living conditions. Sources report that cases of forced labor in chile peppers production predominantly occurs in small and medium holder farms and have been found in states such as Baja California, Chihuahua, Jalisco, and San Luis Potosi. According to available reports, indigenous farmworkers from impoverished regions of central and southern Mexico are particularly vulnerable to forced labor in the agricultural sector due to low education levels, linguistic barriers, and discrimination. Once on the farms, some men and women work up to 15 hours per day under the threat of dismissal and receive subminimum wage payments or no payment at all. There are reports of some workers being threatened with physical violence or physically abused for leaving their jobs. Workers also report finding themselves in overcrowded and unsanitary housing facilities with no access to potable water, latrines, electricity, and medical care. Some workers face growing indebtedness to company stores that often inflate the prices of their goods, forcing workers to purchase provisions on credit and limiting their ability to leave the farms.
Coal
There are reports that children as young as age five are forced to work in coal mines in Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the Northwest Frontier Province. Some of these children work as bonded labor; under this arrangement, which is typical of the Pakistani “peshgis” system, children work alongside, or in place of, other members of their indebted families. The children are forced to work without protective equipment. Their work involves blasting rocks with dynamite and digging to extract coal in deep narrow shafts below ground. The children are also forced to lead donkeys deep underground and lead them back out hauling the mined coal.
Cocoa
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 13 cultivate cocoa in Brazil. In the North of Brazil, children work with family members to cultivate cocoa. The ILO has found that generally children who work in agriculture may be at risk of exposure to hazards including, working long hours, carrying heavy loads, using dangerous tools, and exposure to the elements, physical injuries, and chemicals, such as pesticides. The Government of Brazil’s 2015 National Household Survey considers all work performed by children below age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, an estimated 2,597 child laborers cultivate cocoa. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Brazil’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Cocoa
There are reports that children from within Côte d'Ivoire, as well as migrant children from Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, and Togo, are working under conditions of forced labor on Ivoirian cocoa farms. Based on the most recently available estimate from Tulane University, over 4,000 children work in conditions of forced labor in the production of cocoa in Côte d'Ivoire. Some children are sold by their parents to traffickers, some are kidnapped, and others migrate willingly but fall victim to traffickers who sell them to recruiters or farmers, where they end up in conditions of bonded labor. Some farmers buy the children and refuse to let them leave the farm until the debt of their purchase has been worked off. The children are frequently not paid for their work; some of their wages are paid to the recruiter or trafficker. These children are held against their will on isolated farms, are locked in their living quarters at night, and are threatened and beaten if they attempt to escape. They are punished by their employers with physical abuse. They are forced to work long hours, including overtime, and are required to work even when they are sick. Some children are denied sufficient food by their traffickers and employers. Some children are forced to perform dangerous tasks, including carrying heavy loads, using machetes and sharp tools, and applying pesticides and fertilizers.
Cocoa
There are reports that children are forced to produce cocoa in Nigeria. The ILO, media pieces, and an academic report indicate that children are trafficked across Nigeria and from Burkina Faso by intermediaries and recruiters to produce cocoa. Children from Cross River and Akwa Ibom states in southeastern Nigeria are particularly vulnerable. Some children are sold by their parents to recruiters. The recruiters are paid for their recruitment of the children; many children receive no pay for their work. Some children are forced to work long hours, including during the hottest hours of the day, leaving them at substantial risk for heat-related illness. The children are forced to perform dangerous tasks, such as using sharp tools, carrying heavy loads, and handling pesticides, without protective equipment.
Coffee
There are reports that adults are forced to work in the production of coffee in Brazil. According to media reports and NGOs, cases of forced labor within the coffee sector are a recurring problem. A large number of these violations occur in the state of Minas Gerais, which is responsible for about 70 percent of the coffee produced in the country. There are more than 100,000 coffee plantations in Minas Gerais, with an estimated 245,000 workers, most working informally, thus increasing the probability of their exploitation. Sources indicate that forced labor in coffee is widespread in this state. Intermediaries, called gatos, recruit workers from poorer neighboring states, and often lie about working conditions, wages, hours, and the quality of living conditions. According to investigations, workers face up to 15-hour workdays, and often receive sub-minimum wage payments. Reports also indicate that a number of workers face precarious and unsanitary housing accommodations with no access to potable water, and a lack of proper bathroom and cooking facilities. Some workers report finding themselves in a debt spiral because they owe money to the plantation owners for food, their journey to the plantation, and even the equipment they must use during the harvest. These debts incurred hinder the workers’ ability to leave the coffee plantations. A number of workers also report fear of punishment for complaining about the poor conditions, or for speaking to outside sources about their work and living conditions. Some workers have had their working papers or identity papers confiscated by their employer.
Coffee
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 cultivate coffee in Costa Rica. Based on an analysis by international organizations of the Government of Costa Rica’s National Household Survey (ENAHO) 2011, published in 2015, 8.8 percent of child laborers in the country, or approximately 1,422 children ages 5-14, were in child labor in coffee production in Costa Rica. The ENAHO 2011 counts as child labor all work performed by a child below age 15. In addition, the analysis indicates that 5.2 percent of working adolescents ages 15 to 17, or 1,625 adolescents, were also engaged in coffee production. The analysis noted that 78 percent of children and adolescents in child labor in Costa Rica work with their families. Although more recent national surveys have shown a 65 percent decrease in the number of children ages 12 to 17 working in agriculture from 13,866 in 2011 to 4,853 in 2015, these surveys do not provide the number of children in child labor in the coffee sector. Data from the 2016 ENAHO, which included a child labor module, is expected to be released in early 2017.
Coffee
There are reports that children ages 14-17 and younger in Côte d'Ivoire are forced to work on coffee plantations. Based on a research study, thousands of children are involved in this type of labor. Some children are forcibly recruited, or recruited through deceptive means, and transported to coffee plantations in Côte d'Ivoire from nearby countries including Benin, Mali, Togo, and Burkina Faso. These children are sold to traffickers. Other children leave their home countries or communities voluntarily, but end up in situations where they are not paid and have no means to return home. Some children are forced to work for three or four years before receiving payment or returning home. Others are forced to work, even if sick, and prevented from leaving the plantations through threat of physical violence, withheld payments, or denial of food.
Coffee
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 in Vietnam cultivate coffee. The results of the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, published in 2014, show that an estimated 34,131 child laborers grow coffee. Approximately 36.7 percent, or 12,526, of these child laborers are under 15 years old, which is the minimum age for employment in Vietnam. Of the estimated 34,131 child laborers who grow coffee, 9.2 percent are 5-11 years old, 27.5 percent are 12-14 years old, and 63.3 percent are 15-17 years old. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Corn
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 13 cultivate corn in Brazil. The ILO has found that generally children who work in agriculture may be at risk of exposure to hazards including, working long hours, carrying heavy loads, using dangerous tools, and exposure to the elements, physical injuries, and chemicals, such as pesticides. The Government of Brazil’s 2015 National Household Survey considers all work performed by children below age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, an estimated 17,049 child laborers cultivate corn. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Brazil’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.

There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow corn in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 92,208 child laborers grow the tupí variety of corn and 89,293 child laborers grow the chipá (canary) variety of corn throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 38,584 children growing tupí corn and 37,598 children growing chipá (canary) corn are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor producing corn. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Cotton
There are reports that children ages 6-17 are forced to produce cotton in Benin. Cotton is grown primarily in the north, such as in Banikoara, and according to NGOs and international organizations, many of the children are trafficked or migrate to this area from other parts of the country, or from Burkina Faso or Togo. Some children are lured by traffickers with false promises about working conditions or terms. Some children work on year-long contracts and are not allowed to leave until the end of the year. They are paid only at the end of the contract, once the cotton is sold, but most children report that they do not receive their full payment, and some are not paid at all. Children usually live with their employer, and do not receive sufficient food.
Cotton
There are reports of children ages 10-17 producing cotton under conditions of forced labor in Burkina Faso. According to an NGO report containing the most recently available data on the eastern region of the country, it is estimated that as many as 50 percent of all boys aged 10 and above migrate or are trafficked to work for a year; most work on cotton farms in Tapoa or Kompienga. Children are also trafficked from around the country to work on cotton farms in Houet and Tuy provinces. Some children are forced to sow, weed, and harvest the cotton in hazardous conditions; some work under threats of abuse or withholding of payment. They usually live with their employer, and do not receive sufficient food. These children are lured by recruiters or traffickers with false promises of payment or gifts such as a bicycle. The children work on 12 or 17 month contracts and are prohibited from leaving to return home until the end of the contract. They are paid only when the cotton is sold and they have completed their contract, but most report that they do not receive their full payment, and some receive no payment at all.
Cotton
There are reports that children are forced to pick cotton in China. Reports from an NGO and the U.S. Government indicate that children in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and in Gansu province are mobilized through schools and required by provincial regulations to work during the autumn harvest. According to the most recently available estimates, between 40,000 and 1 million students are mobilized annually for the harvest, beginning as early as the third grade. Most children are paid little if at all, after deductions for meals, transportation, and payments to the school. These students are required to pick daily quotas of cotton or pay fines, and performance in the cotton harvest is assessed for the students' promotion to higher grade levels.
Cotton
There are reports that children ages 14-17 and some as young as 7 are forced to work during the annual cotton harvest in Tajikistan. Monitoring teams discover multiple cases of compulsory mobilization across several districts of the country each year. In these cases, school officials mobilize classes to work in the harvest and teachers supervise them in the fields. Some children receive threats regarding exams, grades, and even expulsion from school for refusal to work. The children are typically sent to the fields after class hours. Farmers negotiate directly with the schools to mobilize the students to work, and the schools may keep some or all of the children's wages. Some of the children are required to pick a quota of 66 pounds of cotton daily.
Crude Palm Kernel Oil
ILAB has reason to believe that multiple palm oil products produced in Indonesia are made with an input using child labor and forced labor, specifically palm fruit harvested in Indonesia. These palm oil products include crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil, refined palm oil, refined palm kernel oil, and oleochemicals.
Palm Fruit from Indonesia was added to ILAB’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in 2010 for child labor and added in 2020 for forced labor. Indonesia produces most of the world’s palm fruit and palm oil. In 2020, refined palm oil from Indonesia accounted for 55.26 percent of global imports. In 2020, the U.S. obtained about 60 percent of its $1 billion in refined palm oil imports from Indonesia.
This research suggests that further downstream products of palm fruit and palm oil, such as cooking oils, animal feed, bakery items and baked goods, beverages, household and industrial products, personal care and cosmetic products, infant formula, and biofuels, may be produced with an input produced with child labor and forced labor.

Dairy Products
There is evidence that children under the age of 14 produce dairy products in Pakistan. An analysis of the Pakistan Labour Force Survey 2017–2018 considers all work performed by children under age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, it is estimated that 81,375 child laborers produce dairy products. The ILO has found that generally, children who work with livestock may be at risk of exposure to hazards including working long hours, being injured by the animals, and exposure to the elements, diseases, and chemicals such as disinfectants. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgment that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Diamonds
There are reports that children, mostly boys ages 5-17, are forced to mine for diamonds in Sierra Leone. Diamond mines are concentrated in Koidu, Kenema, and Kono districts in the Eastern Province. Some children are trafficked from rural areas to work in diamond mines, or are sent by their families; these children are often recruited under deceptive terms. The children are forced to work, without pay, in hazardous conditions underground in the mines for excessively long hours. Some children are not provided with sufficient food. In addition, some children of artisanal, independent, small-scale diamond miners work with their families as indentured servants, in debt to diamond dealers.
Dried Fish
There are reports that children, mostly boys between the ages of 5-17, are forced to work in the production of dried fish in Bangladesh. According to the most recently available government data, close to 1,900 children, or about 24 percent of children working in the dried fish industry, are working under conditions of force. This forced child labor is found in the coastal districts of Borguna, Patuakhali, Chittagong, and Cox's Bazar of the Bay of Bengal, with the highest proportion of children in forced labor working in Bagherhat. According to the Government's data, some of the children work as bonded labor, often in exchange for advanced payments that have been made to their parents. These children are not free to leave the workplace, and some are not allowed any contact with their family. Some children are also forced to work under threat of physical violence and wage deductions.
Electronics
There are reports that children ages 13-15 are forced to produce electronics in China. Based on the most recently available data from media sources, government raids, and NGOs, hundreds of cases of forced child labor have been reported in factories in Guangdong province, but the children are often from Henan, Shanxi, or Sichuan provinces. In some cases, children are forced to work in electronics factories through arrangements between the factories and the schools that the children attend in order to cover alleged tuition debts. The forced labor programs are described as student apprenticeships; however, the children report that they were forced to remain on the job and not allowed to return home. Half of the students' wages are sent directly to the schools, and the children receive little compensation after deductions are made for food and accommodations. In other cases, children are abducted or deceived by recruiters, sent to Guangdong, and sold to employers. Some children are held captive, forced to work long hours for little pay.
Electronics
There is evidence that children under the age of 14 work in the production of electronics in Pakistan. Based on an analysis of Pakistan’s Labor Force Survey 2017–2018, an estimated 23,521 children perform tasks related to the creation of electronic goods. The ILO has found that children who work in sectors requiring intensive manual labor frequently miss days of school and sometimes encounter health hazards related to exposure to the elements, physical injuries, and utilization of dangerous tools. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data analysis is critical to the design and implementation of strong policies and programs.
Embellished Textiles
There are reports of children, many between the ages of 8-14, producing embellished textiles under conditions of forced labor in India. Some children work under a system of debt bondage. Most factories that produce zari, a type of embroidery, are concentrated in Mumbai and Delhi, but many children are trafficked from other locations such as Bihar. According to government raids and an NGO report, between 125,000 and 210,000 children are working in Delhi embroidery workshops, and approximately 100,000 are working in zari embroidery and other textile embellishment workshops in Mumbai and elsewhere. Some children are forced to work under threat of physical violence. Some work long hours including overtime and do not receive payment for their work.
Embellished Textiles
There are reports that children, mostly boys ages 7-17, are forced to produce embellished textiles in Nepal. The factories are spread across the Kathmandu Valley and are concentrated in Thankot. The child workers are mainly recruited from Sarlahi, Mohattari, and Dhanusha Districts. Based on a research report, close to 7,500 children are working under forced labor conditions in the sector. Factory owners often recruit certain boys to work on one- or two-year contracts, paying an advance to their parents for the boys' labor. The boys are forced to work long hours without pay. At the end of the contract, the factory owner offers another advance payment to the parents, and the boys then return to work for the factory. During the subsequent contract, the children receive little or no wages after the initial advance payment as wages are deducted to repay the advance, and accommodation and food expenses are also deducted. These children live at the worksite, and the factories are often locked, preventing the children from leaving.
Fish
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 13 engage in fishing in Brazil. The ILO has found that generally children who fish may be at risk of exposure to hazards, including long hours, extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions. The Government of Brazil’s 2015 National Household Survey considers all work performed by children below age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, an estimated 12,325 child laborers are involved in fishing. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Brazil’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Fish
There are reports that adults are forced to work in the production of fish on China’s distant-water fishing fleet. China’s fleet is the largest in the world, with an estimated 3,000 fishing vessels, and contains a wide variety of vessels, from longliners to purse seiners, operating on the high seas and in foreign countries’ exclusive economic zones in every region of the world. The majority of the crew on board are migrant workers from Indonesia and the Philippines, who are particularly vulnerable to forced labor. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of workers who are sometimes recruited by agencies that deceive workers with false information regarding their wages and the terms of the contracts, and require the workers to pay recruitment fees and sign debt contracts. According to various sources, numerous incidents of forced labor have been reported on Chinese fishing vessels. While on board the vessels, workers’ identity documents are often confiscated, the crew spends months at sea without stopping at a port of call, and they are forced to work 18 to 22 hours a day with little rest. Workers face hunger and dehydration, live in degrading and unhygienic conditions, are subjected to physical violence and verbal abuse, are prevented from leaving the vessel or ending their contracts, and are frequently not paid their promised wages.
Fish
There are reports that children ages 5-17 in Ghana are forced to work in the fishing industry, assisting primarily in the catching of tilapia, but also of such fish as mudfish, silverfish, catfish, latefish, and electric fish. According to the most recently available data from universities, NGOs, government raids, and international organizations, hundreds of children in the Lake Volta region have been rescued from the fishing industry, in which they were forced to undertake such tasks as diving to untangle fishing nets from underwater tree stumps. Children are often trafficked from the Volta, Central, Eastern, or Ashanti regions to Tato and other Lake Volta communities to work. Some of the children forced to work in the fishing industry are working in bonded labor after being sold or sent by their parents under a one- to three-year contract, for which the parents are promised payment on agreed-upon intervals. The children frequently are paid little, if at all, and are forced to work long hours. The children forced to work in the fishing industry often live with their employers, where they face physical violence and are not provided with sufficient food.
Fish
There are reports that adults, predominantly men, are forced to work in the fishing industry in Indonesia. Forced labor often occurs on fishing vessels operating in Indonesian territorial waters, especially around the remote island ports of Benjina and Ambon. The majority of exploited fishermen are Cambodian, Lao, and Burmese nationals. Since March 2015, the International Organization for Migration, in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, has identified approximately 1,500 new labor trafficking cases in the Indonesian fishing industry, with media sources reporting the rescue of more than 2,000 trafficked fishermen during 2015. Victims report being coerced or tricked in their home countries into working on Thai fishing vessels by brokers who promise jobs in other sectors, and then being held in forced labor for up to 10 years. Often fishermen are locked in cells to prevent their escape. Some men have been forced to fish for 20 to 22 hours a day, with little or no pay, and have been subjected to threats and severe physical abuse while at sea.
Fish
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in fishing in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 20,188 child laborers work in fishing throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Of these children, 20,082 handle hooks or harpoons; 18,886 prepare bait; and 11,475 clean fish. Approximately 11,023 child laborers working in fishing are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor in fishing. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Fish
There are reports that adults are forced to work in the production of fish on Taiwan’s distant-water fishing fleet. Taiwan’s fleet is the second largest in the world, with more than 1,100 fishing vessels, comprising approximately 36 percent of the world’s tuna longliner fleet, and operating on the high seas and in the exclusive economic zones of more than 30 countries. An estimated 35,000 migrant workers are employed by the fleet. The majority of these workers are recruited overseas, mostly from Indonesia and the Philippines, by agencies that sometimes deceive workers with false information regarding their wages and the terms of the contracts, and require the workers to pay recruitment fees and sign debt contracts. According to various sources, numerous incidents of forced labor have been reported on Taiwan-flagged fishing vessels. While on board the vessels, workers’ identity documents are often confiscated, and the crew spends months at sea without stopping at a port of call, and they are forced to work 18 to 22 hours a day with little rest. Workers face hunger and dehydration, live in degrading and unhygienic conditions, are subjected to physical violence and verbal abuse, are prevented from leaving the vessel or ending their contracts, and are frequently not paid their promised wages or have food and lodging fees illegally deducted from their wages.
Fish
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in fishing and fish processing in Vietnam. Based on the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, the results of which were published in 2014, an estimated 49,390 child laborers work in fishing. Approximately 90 percent of children involved in child labor in fishing are boys. Of the 49,390 child laborers working in fishing, 19,629 children worked in fishing for more than 42 hours a week. In addition, 38,753 of the total number of child laborers working in fishing were involved in work that could be considered hazardous according to national legislation. The National Child Labor Survey also indicates that an estimated 15,720 child laborers are involved in the production, processing, and preservation of fish and fish products. Of the 15,270 child laborers involved in these activities, 11,591 children worked for more than 42 hours a week. In addition, 13,230 of the total number of child laborers working in the production, processing, and preservation of fish products, were involved in work that could be considered hazardous. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Footwear
There are reports that children as young as 9 produce footwear in Türkiye. Both boys and girls, including many in the Syrian refugee community, are engaged in work activities in this sector. According to international organizations, NGOs, and media sources, there is credible evidence that the use of child labor is common in footwear production, including in major production areas such as Gaziantep and Istanbul. Children work long hours, with some reports of working up to 12 hours per day, 6 days per week. Due to the long hours worked, many child workers in this sector are unable to attend school. Some child laborers in this sector use hazardous chemicals, machinery, and materials.
Footwear
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 in Vietnam manufacture footwear. Based on the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, the results of which were published in 2014, an estimated 9,756 child laborers work in footwear manufacturing for over 42 hours per week. Approximately 2.2 percent, or 215, of the total number of child laborers who manufacture footwear for over 42 hours per week are 12-14 years old, while 97.8 percent, or 9,541, are 15-17 years old. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Furniture
There is evidence that children under the age of 14 work in the production of furniture in Pakistan. Based on an analysis of Pakistan’s Labor Force Survey 2017–2018, an estimated 25,789 children perform tasks related to the creation of furniture, including gathering the raw materials needed to assemble traditional sofas and chairs. Children who work in the production of furniture may be at risk of hazards, including harvesting raw materials such as bamboo, reeds, and straw by hand, in addition to potential exposure to agricultural pesticides. The release of the Labor Force Survey demonstrates the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data analysis is critical to the design and implementation of strong policies and programs.
Furniture
There is evidence that children ages 5 to17 produce furniture in Vietnam. According to the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, the results of which were published in 2014, an estimated 24,377 child laborers work in the production of furniture, including beds, wardrobes, chairs, and tables. Nearly three-quarters of child laborers involved in this activity are boys. Of the 24,377 child laborers engaged in the production of furniture, 13,670 children worked in furniture production for more than 42 hours per week. In addition, 21,873 of the total number of child laborers working in the production of furniture were involved in work that could be considered hazardous according to national legislation. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Garments
There are reports that children from Bolivia are forced to produce garments in informal workshops in the city of Buenos Aires and its surrounding municipalities. According to media outlets, NGOs, and government officials, some children from Bolivia are victims of deceptive recruitment and trafficking with false promises of decent working conditions and fair wages. Once in Argentina, these children have restricted freedom of movement, their identity documents are confiscated, they live and work within locked factories, and they are too fearful to leave due to threats of imprisonment. Some end up in conditions of bonded labor, in debt for fees that were charged for transport to Argentina, and are prohibited from leaving their workplaces for years until the debt is paid through wage deductions. These children suffer physical and verbal abuse from their employers, and are only given one meal per day. Some children are forced to work excessive hours, up to 20 hours per day.
Garments
There are reports that children ages 12 to 17, mainly girls, produce garments in Burma. According to international organizations and NGOs, child labor in the garment industry is concentrated in Yangon State. For example, research has found at least eight garment factories in Yangon State with incidents of child labor, and reports indicate that child labor remains present in the industry. Though the government has placed legal restrictions on working hours and types of work for children under age 18, there are reports that children work the same hours as adults with higher risks of abuse. There are reports of supervisors or shift leaders physically punishing children if they make mistakes in their work. Some children carry heavy bags and boxes and work long hours, sometimes up to 15-16 hours per day or 60 hours per week, and late into the night. Factories are often poorly ventilated, with temperatures, at times, rising above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Garments
There are reports that children, most between the ages of 8-17, are forced to produce garments in India. Based on the most recently available data from NGOs, up to 100,000 children throughout the country are being forced to produce garments. Recent reports suggest that forced child labor has shifted from factories to home-based production and from urban to suburban areas, particularly in southern India. Dalit and scheduled caste children, a socially disadvantaged class in India, are particularly vulnerable to forced labor in this industry. Many children are trafficked into garment production, recruited under deceptive terms, moved between employers without consent, and paid little or nothing for their work. Some children, as young as age five, are recruited for work through an advance payment to their parents, creating a situation of debt bondage which the child must work to repay. The children are isolated, often live at the worksite, and face restricted freedom of movement. Some children are exposed to dye and toxic chemicals without protective equipment; and some are forced to work overtime, even when they are sick. Some children are punished and threatened with verbal and physical abuse, financial penalty, and some are routinely deprived of food, water, and sleep. The children are forced to perform tasks including stitching, dyeing, cutting, sewing buttons, and embellishing garments.
Garments
There is evidence that children between the ages of 5 and 14 work in garment manufacturing in Mexico. Based on an analysis of Mexico’s National Survey of Occupation and Employment – Child Labor Module 2017, an estimated 17,826 children work in garment production. The survey indicates that the majority of children and adolescents working in garment manufacturing are in Puebla and Guanajuato states. Other sources report that cases of child labor in garment manufacturing have been found in Puebla. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Mexico’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgment that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Garments
There are reports that mostly girls as young as 11 are forced to produce garments in Thailand. Migrant children from Laos and Burma are particularly vulnerable. The ILO, media, trade unions, government raids, and NGOs report forced child labor in garment factories in Bangkok and along the Burma border in Mae Sai and Mae Sot. Many children live at the worksite, and their freedom of movement is sometimes restricted through confiscation of identity documents and threats of arrest. Children are often forced to work long hours and overtime, and are paid little, if at all. Some are not provided sufficient food and are physically abused. Mistakes made during the course of work are sometimes penalized with wage deductions.
Garments
There are reports that children as young as 10 produce garments in Türkiye. Both boys and girls, including many in the Syrian refugee community, are engaged in work activities in this sector. According to international organizations, NGOs, and media sources, there is credible evidence of the use of child labor in small and medium-sized garment manufacturers in various cities nationwide, including Gaziantep, Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. Children work long hours, with some reporting working up to 15 hours per day, 6 days per week, and earn exceptionally low wages. Due to the long hours worked, many child laborers in this sector are unable to attend school. Reports indicate that conditions of work in the garment industry are often poor, with crowded, informal workshops often lacking proper ventilation and reaching high temperatures in the summer.
Garments
There are reports of children ages 10-18 and some as young as 6 who work under conditions of forced labor producing garments in Vietnam. The most recently available information from government raids, NGOs and media reports indicates that groups of children are found in small privately-owned factories and informal workshops. These workplaces are located primarily in and around Ho Chi Minh City; however, many of these children have migrated, or have been trafficked, from the countryside and from central or northern provinces. Many of the children live in the factories; employers prevent the children from leaving through force and/or by withholding their wages. In some cases, employers pay the children only after a full year of work or at the completion of a multi-year contract. Employers refuse to pay the children who leave before the end of the contract; some withhold a portion of the wages dues under the contract in order to force the children to remain an additional year. The children are forced to work long hours, up to 18 hours per day, sometimes late into the night, and with few breaks. Reports indicate that these children are beaten or threatened with physical violence by their employers. In addition, there are reports of children as young as 12 years old found to be working while confined in government-run detention centers. These children are forced to sew garments under threat of physical or other punishments and without pay.
Gloves
There are reports of glove factories forcibly training and employing 1,500 to 2,000 ethnic minority adult workers with the government’s support. Victim testimonies, news media, and think tanks report that factories, including for gloves, frequently engage in coercive recruitment; limit workers’ freedom of movement and communication; and subject workers to constant surveillance, retribution for religious beliefs, exclusion from community and social life, and isolation. Further, reports indicate little pay, mandatory Mandarin lessons, ideological indoctrination, and poor living conditions. In some instances, workers have been reported to be subject to torture. More broadly, according to varied estimates, at least 100,000 to hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities are being subjected to forced labor in China following detention in re-education camps. In addition to this, poor workers in rural areas may also experience coercion without detention. Workers are either placed at factories within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where the camps are located, or transferred out of Xinjiang to factories in eastern China.
Goats
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 raise goats in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015, a representative survey of children’s work in rural areas. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 8,584 child laborers raise goats throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 4,714 child laborers raising goats are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor in goat raising. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Gold
There are reports that children are forced to mine gold in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. According to a report by the ILO containing the most recently available data, in the combined Sahel regions of Burkina Faso and Niger, up to 30-50 percent of the gold mine workforce is comprised of children; most are under the age of 15, and some work under conditions of forced labor. Some children from around the country are trafficked to mines in the country's Ioba, Oudalan, Passore, and Sissili provinces. These children work in small informal mines that are located in remote rural areas and mostly operate on a seasonal basis. The children, beginning between ages 12 and 14, are forced to work in hazardous conditions digging, breaking rocks, transporting, washing, and pounding the gold, including work underground in narrow shafts. These children receive little or no payment, with many receiving wage deductions for lodging and food expenses.
Gold
There are reports that children are involved in the mining of gold in eastern Cameroon. Children often mine alongside their families in artisanal mines, and reports indicate that their ages range from under age 10 to 17. Sometimes children mine gold by themselves for sale on the black market. Evidence of child labor has been found in Batouri and Kambele, near the border with the Central African Republic. Reports indicate that thousands of children in Kambele work in artisanal gold mining, while in nearby Batouri, roughly 90 percent of children participate in gold mining. Children mine in hazardous conditions, including standing in stagnant water, working underground, and using mercury to extract the gold dust. Many children leave school to work in gold mining, and a report indicates that over 75 percent of the students in one school stopped attending school to mine gold.
Gold
There are reports that children ages 10-16 are forced to work in the production of gold in some mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the most recently available NGO evidence, thousands of children are working in conditions of forced labor in the mines in Eastern Congo, particularly in North and South Kivu. Some children are forced to work at the mines with their families in situations of bonded labor, while other children are sent away to the mines by their parents to pay off the family's debt. Child miners are paid little if at all. Many mines are controlled by military officers or armed groups which force children to work. Some children are abducted to work in the mines.
Gold
There are reports that children as young as age 12 produce gold in Kenya. Children reportedly work at small-scale and artisanal mining sites in western Kenya. Local government officials estimate that there are 8,000 children working at informal gold mining sites in Migori County, while other media and NGO reports document widespread cases of children engaged in mining activities related to the production of gold throughout western Kenya. In many cases, children drop out of school to work at gold mining sites. Children are involved in hazardous forms of work, including using pick axes, engaging in work underground, and carrying heavy loads. In some cases, children working in gold mining have been trapped in collapsed mines, have suffocated, or have been exposed to mercury.
Gold
There are reports that children as young as age 8 mine gold in Nigeria. This practice is especially common in Zamfara state, which has significant gold deposits. Media outlets report hundreds of children work in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) throughout Nigeria, causing them to abandon school. ASGM involves physically demanding work due to the un-mechanized nature and often many occupational safety and health risks. Children use their bare hands and tools to dig for gold in tunnels hundreds of meters below ground, without any protective equipment. Children face additional health risks during the processing stage when they handle mercury, a highly toxic substance, using it to extract gold from ore. Crushing ore to extract gold exposes children to lead-contaminated dust. This exposure can lead to acute lead poisoning and in May 2015 the Government announced the deaths of 28 children from lead poisoning as a result of the illegal mining of gold in Nigeria.
Gold
There are reports that adults are forced to work in the mining of gold in Venezuela. Research indicates that forced labor occurs throughout the Orinoco Mining Arc, a swath of land in Venezuela’s southern Bolivar state, where the majority of Venezuela’s gold is concentrated. It is estimated that there are between 300,000 and 500,000 gold miners in Venezuela. Mines are largely run by armed and violent criminal groups, and research shows evidence that officials from the Government of Venezuela, including members of security forces and local authorities, have colluded with and allowed members of non-state armed groups to commit human rights violations and labor abuses. Miners experience unsafe working conditions, unsafe and degrading living conditions, extortion and financial penalties, limited freedom of communication, and threats of violence and torture.
Granite
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 work in granite quarries in Burkina Faso. These children are primarily found in granite quarries located in Pissy and Yagma, on the outskirts of the capital, Ouagadougou. According to Government of Burkina Faso officials, NGOs, and the U.S. Department of State, numerous incidents of child labor have been reported in these granite quarries, including hundreds of children working in the Pissy quarry, and NGOs report that the problem is increasing. Children work for long hours breaking large rocks by hand and carrying heavy loads of dirt, rock, and gravel. Children in granite quarries are at high risk of physical injury, and are exposed to large quantities of dust and smoke, which can cause respiratory diseases. Some children also experience physical abuse in the quarries.
Granite
There are reports that children, mostly boys ages 4-17, are forced to quarry granite in Nigeria. Some children are abducted and trafficked from within Nigeria and from Benin to work in granite quarries and mines in the Federal Capital Territory, as well as the states of Ebonyi, Enugu, Ogun, Oyo, and Osun. Reports from the United Nations (UN) and media indicate that between 5,000 and 6,000 children from Benin alone were forced to work in the granite quarries; multiple government rescue operations identified between 50 and 200 children engaged in this work at a time. The children are forced to work up to 16 hours a day, even when they are sick. Many are forced to work under threat of physical violence. Children are often forced to sleep outside and are denied food. Reports indicate that children frequently die while working, having been forced to work under extreme conditions.
Gravel (crushed stones)
There are reports that children, mostly boys as young as age four, are forced to excavate and process gravel in Nigeria. According to reports from the media and government raids, 5,000 children from Nigeria and Benin are working in forced gravel production in Nigeria. The children are trafficked from Benin and forced to work, on average for a total of six years, in gravel pits in the Ogun, Osun, and Oyo states. An NGO study revealed that hundreds of children had been trafficked from Zou province in Benin to work in gravel production; other reports have found that hundreds of children have been rescued from this forced labor and returned to other areas in Benin. These children are forced to work excessive hours and to sleep in the bush near the pits. They are threatened with physical violence and tortured by the work gang leaders, particularly if they fail to meet their daily work quotas. The children are forced to work under extreme, sometimes fatal, conditions.
Hair Products
There are reports that thousands of adult ethnic minority workers are forcibly employed in factories producing hair products such as wigs. China produces more than 80 percent of the global market’s products made from hair and is the world’s largest exporter of these products. Victim testimonies, news media, and think tanks report that factories, including for hair products, frequently engage in coercive recruitment; limit workers’ freedom of movement and communication; and subject workers to constant surveillance, retribution for religious beliefs, exclusion from community and social life, and isolation. Further, workers in these factories can be subject to regular government propaganda, extremely long hours, and little to no pay. More broadly, according to varied estimates, at least 100,000 to hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities are being subjected to forced labor in China following detention in re-education camps. In addition to this, poor workers in rural areas may also experience coercion without detention. Workers can be placed at factories within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where the camps are located, or be transferred out of Xinjiang to factories in eastern China.
Hogs
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 13 raise hogs in Brazil. The ILO has found that generally children who care for farm animals may be at risk of exposure to potential health consequences, including injuries from kicks and infections from animal bites and exposure to harmful bacteria. The Government of Brazil’s 2015 National Household Survey considers all work performed by children below age 14 to be child labor. Based on an analysis of the survey, an estimated 5,896 child laborers raise hogs. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Brazil’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Hogs
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 work in hog raising in Ecuador. Based on the analysis of Ecuador’s 2019 National Survey of Employment, Unemployment, and Underemployment, an estimated 5,218 children under the minimum age for work are involved in child labor in hog raising. The ILO has found that generally, children who care for farm animals may be at risk of exposure to potential health consequences, including injuries from kicks and infections from animal bites and exposure to harmful bacteria. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Ecuador’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Hogs
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 raise hogs in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 199,333 child laborers raise hogs throughout Paraguay. Approximately 120,414 child laborers raising hogs are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor in hog raising. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Khat (stimulant plant)
There are reports that children ages 8 to 17 produce khat in Ethiopia. According to a study from 2017, between 50 percent and 70 percent of khat workers in Wondo Genet’s Chuko town and Aweday, in Eastern Hararge, are children. Sources estimate that 5,000 children in Aweday are connected to the industry, approximately 2,000 of whom are under age 15. Although khat (Catha edulis) is legal in Ethiopia, the plant releases two highly addictive central nervous system stimulants – cathinone and cathine – whose acute and long-term neurological effects include khat-induced psychosis. Children involved in khat cultivation, pruning, and bundling may become addicted to the drug due to contact with excretions from the plant. Moreover, child laborers are unable to attend school and they work long nights.
Leather
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 in Vietnam produce leather. The results of the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, published in 2014, show that an estimated 1,426 child laborers work in the leather industry, primarily in the tanning and pre-processing stages and in dyeing animal skins. Approximately 74 percent of children involved in child labor in leather production are girls. Out of the estimated 1,426 child laborers who produce leather, about 580 are 12-14 years old and 846 are 15-17 years old. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.
Lettuce
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow lettuce in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 9,397 child laborers grow lettuce throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 5,915 child laborers growing lettuce are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Lithium-Ion Batteries
ILAB has reason to believe that lithium-ion batteries manufactured in China are produced with an input produced with child labor, specifically cobalt ore mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Cobalt ore from the DRC was added to ILAB’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in 2009 for child labor. Cobalt is used in the production of nearly all lithium-ion batteries.
The DRC produces the majority of the world’s cobalt. Most cobalt-producing mines in the DRC are owned or financed by Chinese companies. In 2020, China imported $2.17 billion of cobalt from the DRC. Between 49–80 percent of China’s refined cobalt imports are used to produce battery chemicals and components. Global imports of lithium-ion batteries from China were reported to be over $16.5 billion in 2020. Of the $4.3 billion in lithium-ion battery imports to the United States in 2020, 47.22 percent ($2.1 billion) were imported from China.
This research suggests that further downstream products containing lithium-ion batteries may be produced with an input produced with child labor, such as electric cars, laptops, and cell phones.
Manioc/Cassava
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow manioc/cassava in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 159,167 child laborers grow manioc/cassava throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 71,932 child laborers growing manioc/cassava are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor producing manioc/cassava. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Melons
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow melons in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 8,879 child laborers grow watermelons and 5,292 child laborers grow melons throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 4,879 child laborers growing watermelons are under the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys are engaged in child labor producing watermelons and melons than girls. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Mica
There are reports that children ages 5 to 17 are engaged in collecting mica from abandoned mines, primarily in illegal mining operations in India. Children are primarily found mining in the major mica-producing states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan, often in lieu of attending school. NGOs and media sources have documented hundreds of children working in mica across these states. Children’s tasks reportedly include breaking apart rocks to mine the minerals, carrying loads of rocks, and sorting and separating mica from other mined minerals. According to media reports and interviews, children’s inhalation of mica dust has contributed to respiratory health issues. Children also reportedly experience other health and safety hazards, resulting in injuries such as scorpion bites and broken bones, or in some cases, even death in poorly-maintained and unregulated mineshafts.
Oleochemicals
ILAB has reason to believe that multiple palm oil products produced in Indonesia are made with an input using child labor and forced labor, specifically palm fruit harvested in Indonesia. These palm oil products include crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil, refined palm oil, refined palm kernel oil, and oleochemicals.
Palm Fruit from Indonesia was added to ILAB’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in 2010 for child labor and added in 2020 for forced labor. Indonesia produces most of the world’s palm fruit and palm oil. In 2020, refined palm oil from Indonesia accounted for 55.26 percent of global imports. In 2020, the U.S. obtained about 60 percent of its $1 billion in refined palm oil imports from Indonesia.
This research suggests that further downstream products of palm fruit and palm oil, such as cooking oils, animal feed, bakery items and baked goods, beverages, household and industrial products, personal care and cosmetic products, infant formula, and biofuels, may be produced with an input produced with child labor and forced labor.
Onions
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow onions in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 5,937 child laborers grow onions (cebollita en hoja) throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 3,850 child laborers growing onions (cebollita en hoja) are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Palm Fruit
There are reports that adult workers are forced to work in the production of palm oil in Indonesia. The palm oil industry is labor-intensive and employs between 3.7 million and 8 million workers. According to local media and NGO reports, thousands of individuals have been subjected to forced labor in the production of palm oil. Many of the workers on palm oil plantations are internal migrants within Indonesia, some of whom had to pay high recruitment fees leading to debt. It is widely reported that palm oil harvesters’ daily targets, which are set by companies, are unachievable within a 7-hour workday, compelling workers to work several hours beyond what the law permits without overtime pay because they fear steep deductions in wages if they do not meet their targets. Individuals work in remote, isolated plantations with limited freedom of movement and communication. Victims and local NGOs report that some workers who live on the plantation experience degrading living conditions, with no access to clean water or latrines. Some workers who work with hazardous pesticides and fertilizers are not provided with personal protective equipment, and they experience health problems and increased risks of injury from exposure to dangerous chemicals.
Peanuts
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow peanuts in Paraguay. In 2016, the Government of Paraguay published representative results from the Survey of Activities of Rural Area Children and Adolescents 2015, a representative survey of children’s work in rural areas. The survey considers a working child to be engaged in child labor if the child is below the minimum age for employment of 14 or the child is performing work that is hazardous according to national legislation. The survey estimates that 301,827 children ages 5 to 17 perform hazardous work in rural areas of Paraguay and indicates that children working in agriculture experience accidents and illnesses, including from using dangerous tools and handling chemicals. According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 33,165 child laborers grow peanuts throughout rural areas in Paraguay. Approximately 15,384 child laborers growing peanuts are below the minimum age for employment in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor producing peanuts. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Pepper
There is evidence that children ages 5 to 17 grow pepper in Vietnam. Based on the Government of Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey 2012, the results of which were published in 2014, an estimated 9,833 child laborers are involved in growing pepper. Approximately 49.9 percent, or 4,907, of these child laborers are under 15 years old, which is the minimum age for employment in Vietnam. Of the estimated 9,833 child laborers who grow pepper, 10.4 percent are 5-11 years old, 39.5 percent are 12-14 years old, and 50 percent are 15-17 years old. The survey considers a child to be engaged in child labor if the child is working an excessive number of hours per week for his or her age, or if the child is engaged in work that is prohibited for underage employees according to national legislation.

According to the survey, almost 13 percent of Paraguayan children engaged in child labor in agriculture do not attend school. The survey estimates that 6,594 child laborers grow peppers throughout rural areas in Paraguay. The survey indicates that more boys than girls are engaged in child labor producing peppers. The release of this survey demonstrates the Government of Paraguay’s commitment to addressing child labor and its acknowledgement that data collection is vital to the design and implementation of sound policies and programs.
Photovoltaic Ingots
ILAB has reason to believe that multiple solar products produced in China are made with an input using forced labor, specifically from polysilicon produced in China. These products include photovoltaic ingots and wafers (China), solar cells (China), and solar modules (China).
Polysilicon was added to ILAB’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor in 2021 for forced labor. Forty-five percent of the world’s solar-grade polysilicon and more than half of China’s polysilicon is produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where research has shown it is produced under conditions of forced labor. China has 98 percent of the world's manufacturing capacity for photovoltaic ingots; 97 percent for photovoltaic wafers; 81 percent f

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has lost his teenage son, 16-year-old Kambilichukwu, his second child with his first wife, May.
Close sources said that the boy passed on after developing a seizure while playing with his friends in school.
"While in school after sitting for an exam, he joined his mates to play football and that’s when he developed a seizure and was rushed to Mother and Child Hospital. All efforts by the doctors to resuscitate him were fruitless," said a source from the family.

Nigerian writer (born 1977)
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ( ;[a] born 15 September 1977) is a Nigerian author who is regarded as a central figure in postcolonial feminist literature. She is the author of the award-winning novels Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) and Americanah (2013). Her other works include the book essays We Should All Be Feminists (2014); Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions (2017); a memoir tribute to her father, Notes on Grief (2021); and a children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf (2023).
Born in Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria, Adichie's childhood was influenced by the aftermath of colonial rule and by the Nigerian Civil War, which killed both of her grandfathers, and was the setting for her first novel and the subject of her second. She was educated at the University of Nigeria and moved to the United States at the age of nineteen to undertake higher education at Drexel University. She studied at three universities; Eastern Connecticut State University, Johns Hopkins University, and Yale University. She published the poetry collection Decisions in 1997, followed by a play, For Love of Biafra, in 1998. Adichie has cited African writers Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta as inspirations.
Adichie grew up bilingually and writes in English and Igbo, describing this approach as a means to reach a broad audience, and to retain both languages as her own. Her style juxtaposes Western and African influences, particularly focusing on her own Igbo culture. Most of her works explore the themes of religion, immigration, gender, and feminism. Her speeches have also received attention. Adichie advocates using fashion as a medium to break down stereotypes and was recognised for her "Wear Nigerian Campaign" with a Shorty Award in 2018.
Adichie's 2009 TED Talk "The Danger of a Single Story" is one of the most viewed TED Talks. Her 2012 talk "We Should All Be Feminists" was sampled by Beyoncé and featured on a T-shirt by the French fashion house Dior in 2016. Adichie has received numerous academic awards, fellowships, and other honours, among them a MacArthur Fellowship in 2008 and induction into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017.
Adichie, whose English name was Amanda, was born on 15 September 1977, and raised in Enugu, as the fifth out of six children to Igbo parents, Grace Odigwe and James Adichie. She made up the name "Chimamanda" in the 1990s to keep her legal English name of "Amanda" and conform with Igbo Christian naming customs of the time.[b] Adichie's father was born in Abba, Anambra State, and studied mathematics at University College, Ibadan until his graduation in 1957. James married Grace on 15 April 1963, and moved with her to Berkeley, California to complete his PhD at the University of California. While in the United States, the couple had two daughters, ljeoma Rosemary and Uchenna. He returned to Nigeria and began working as a professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1966. Her mother was born in Umunnachi, Anambra State. Grace began her university studies in 1964, at Merritt College in Oakland, California, and then later earned a degree in sociology and anthropology from the University of Nigeria.
The Biafran War broke out in 1967 and James started working for the Biafran government at the Biafran Manpower Directorate. Adichie lost her maternal and paternal grandfathers. After Biafra ceased to exist in 1970, her father returned to the University of Nigeria while the mother worked for the government at Enugu until 1973 before becoming an administration officer at the University of Nigeria, and later the first female registrar. Adichie stayed at the campus of the University of Nigeria, previously occupied by Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe. Her siblings include Ijeoma Rosemary, Uchenna "Uche", Chukwunweike "Chuks", Okechukwu "Okey", and Kenechukwu "Kene". Adichie was Catholic, and family's home parish was St. Paul's Parish in Abba. Adichie's father died of kidney failure in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and her mother died in 2021.
As a child, Adichie read only English-language stories, especially by Enid Blyton. Adichie's juvenilia included stories with characters who were white and blue-eyed, modeled on British children she had read about. At ten, she discovered African literature and read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, The African Child by Camara Laye, Weep Not, Child by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, and Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta. Adichie began to study her father's stories about Biafra when she was thirteen. In visits to Abba, she saw houses that were destroyed and rusty bullets scattered on the ground. She would later incorporate these memories and her father's accounts into her novels.
Adichie began her formal education, where she was taught in both Igbo and English. Although Igbo was not a popular subject, she continued taking courses in the language throughout high school. She completed her secondary education at the University of Nigeria Campus Secondary School, with top distinction in the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), and academic prizes. She was admitted to the University of Nigeria, and studied medicine and pharmacy for a year and half. She was also the editor of The Compass, a student-run magazine in the university. In 1997, at the age of 19, Adichie published Decisions, a collection of poems, and later moved to the United States, to study communications at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1998, she wrote a play called For Love of Biafra, which was her initial exploration of the theme of war. These early works were written under the name Amanda N. Adichie.
Two years after moving to the United States, she transferred to Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic, Connecticut, where she lived with her sister Ijeoma, who was a medical doctor there. In 2000, Adichie published her short story "My Mother, the Crazy African", which discusses the problems that arise when a person is facing two cultures that are complete opposites from each other. After finishing her undergraduate degree, she continued studying and simultaneously pursuing a writing career. While a senior at Eastern Connecticut, she wrote articles for the university paper Campus Lantern. She received her bachelor's degree summa cum laude with a major in political science and a minor in communications in 2001. She earned a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University in 2003, and for the next two years was a Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, where she taught introductory fiction. She began studying at Yale University, and completed a second master's degree in African studies in 2008. Adichie received a MacArthur Fellowship that same year, plus other academic prizes, including the 2011–2012 Fellowship of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.
While studying in the US, Adichie started researching and writing her first novel, Purple Hibiscus. She wrote it during a period of homesickness and set it in her childhood home of Nsukka. The book explores post-colonial Nigeria during a military coup d'état and examines the cultural conflicts between Christianity and Igbo traditions within the dynamics and generations of a family, touching on themes of class, gender, race, and violence. She sent her manuscript to publishing houses and literary agents, who either rejected it or requested that she change the setting from Africa to America, so as to make it more familiar to a broader range of readers. Eventually, Djana Pearson Morris, a literary agent working at Pearson Morris and Belt Literary Management, accepted the manuscript. Morris recognised that marketing would be challenging, since Adichie was Black but neither African-American nor Caribbean. Morris submitted it to potential publishers until it was eventually accepted by Algonquin Books, a small independent company, in 2003. Algonquin created support for the book by providing advance copies to booksellers, reviewers, and media houses. They also sponsored Adichie on a promotional tour and sent the manuscript to Fourth Estate, who accepted the book for publication in the United Kingdom in 2004. Adichie hired the agent Sarah Chalfant of the Wylie Agency to represent her. The book was published by Kachifo Limited in Nigeria in 2004, and subsequently translated into more than forty languages.
After her first book, Adichie began writing Half of a Yellow Sun, which she worked on for four years, researching extensively and studying her father's memories of the period and Buchi Emecheta's 1982 novel Destination Biafra. Half of a Yellow Sun was first published in 2006 by Anchor Books, a trade-paperback imprint of Alfred A. Knopf, who also released the book later under its Vintage Canada label. It was also published in France as L'autre moitié du soleil in 2008, by Éditions Gallimard. The novel expands on the Biafran conflict weaving together a love story that includes people from various regions and social classes of Nigeria, and how the war and encounters with refugees changes them.
While completing her Hodder and MacArthur fellowships, Adichie published short stories in various magazines. Twelve of these stories were collected into her third book, The Thing Around Your Neck, published by Knopf in 2009. The stories focuses on the experiences of Nigerian women, living at home or abroad, examining the tragedies, loneliness, and feelings of displacement, which result from their marriages, relocations, or violent events. The Thing Around Your Neck was a bridge between Africa and the African diaspora, which was also the theme of her fourth book, Americanah, published in 2013. It was the story of a young Nigerian woman and her male schoolmate, who had not studied the trans-Atlantic slave trade in school and had no understanding of the racism associated with being Black in the United States or class structures in the United Kingdom. It explores the central message of a "shared Black consciousness", as both of the characters, one in Britain and the other in America, experiences a loss of their identity when they try to navigate their lives abroad.
Adichie was invited to be a visiting writer at the University of Michigan on the Flint campus in 2014. The Renowned African Writers/African and African Diaspora Artists Visit Series required her to engage with students and teachers from high schools and universities, patrons of the local public library, and the community at large in forums, workshops, and lectures that discussed Purple Hibiscus, Americanah, and her personal writing experiences. Clips from her talks "The Danger of a Single Story" and "We Should All Be Feminists" were also aired at some of the events and discussed in the question and answer segment following her varied presentations. In 2015, Adichie wrote a letter to a friend and posted it on Facebook in 2016. Comments on the post convinced her to turn to a book, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, which was an expansion of her ideas on how to raise a feminist daughter. The book was published in 2017. In 2020, Adichie published "Zikora", a stand-alone short story about sexism and single motherhood, and an essay "Notes on Grief" in The New Yorker, after her father's death. She expanded the essay into a book of the same name, which was published by Fourth Estate the following year.
In 2020, Adichie adapted and published We Should All Be Feminists in a children's edition illustrated by Leire Salaberria. Translations of it were authorised for publication in Croatian, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. She spent a year and a half writing her first children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf, which was written in 2019, and was published in 2023 by HarperCollins under the pseudonym Nwa Grace James.[c] Illustrations for the book were made by Joelle Avelino, a Congolese-Angolan illustrator. The book tells the story of the connections of generations through family interactions with a head scarf.
As a Nigerian, who was educated bilingually, Adichie consciously uses both Igbo and English in her works. Rather than writing in English, she mixes language and speech patterns so that her works speak to a global audience. Igbo phrases are typically shown in italics and followed by an English translation. She uses metaphors, language, and food to trigger sensory experiences in the reader. For example, in Purple Hibiscus, the arrival of a king to challenge colonial and religious leaders symbolises Palm Sunday. In the same book, she uses language references from Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart to stimulate the memories of his works to her readers. Similarly, the name of Kambili, a character in Purple Hibiscus, evokes "i biri ka m biri" ("Live and Let Live"), the title of a song by Igbo musician Oliver De Coque. To describe pre- and post-war conditions, in Half of a Yellow Sun, Adichie begins with a character opening the refrigerator and describes how as the cool air embraced him, he saw oranges, beer, and a "roasted shimmering chicken". This contrasts to the later period in the novel when people are dying of starvation, in which her characters are forced to eat powdered eggs and lizards. She also repeatedly references real places and historic figures, to draw readers into the stories. Adichie deliberately demonstrates the interconnections between cultures by alluding to historic events and well-known personality types, demonstrating conflicts and relationships through interactions between characters. By utilising pure realistic, and intimate details, she compels the reader to look at the meaning of events and relationships.
In developing characters, Adichie often exaggerates attitudes to contrast differences between traditional culture and westernisation. Her stories often point out failed cultures, particularly those which leave her characters in a limbo between bad options. At times, she creates a character as an oversimplified archetype of a particular aspect of cultural behavior to create a foil for a more complex character. According to writer Izuu Nwankwọ, Adichie's choice of character names is a conscious selection used to identify various ethnicities. Most of her characters are given easily recognisable common names related to the intended ethnicity, such as Mohammed for a Muslim character. For Igbo characters, she invents names to convey to the reader the aesthetic and political connotations of Igbo naming traditions, which are assigned to depict character traits, personality, and social connections. For example, in Half of a Yellow Sun, the meaning of Ọlanna's name is given as "God's Gold", but Nwankwọ points out that "ọla" means precious and "nna" means father (which can be understood as either God the father or a parent). By shunning popular Igbo names, Adichie intentionally imbues her characters with multi-ethnic, gender plural, and global personas. She typically does not use English names for African characters, and when she does, it is a device to represent negative traits or behaviors.
In contrast to western separation of history into objective and scientific facts and literature into creative imaginings of art, Igbo-Nigerian novels draw on figures from Igbo oral traditions to present truths in the style of historical fiction. The genre utilises the custom of African societies to produce knowledge by revising and owning oral narratives in retelling stories to enable interaction between the storyteller and the community. Stories became communal productions which allowed the past and future the flexibility to encompass more than one truth, by incorporating both informative and creative elements. When the shift was made from oral retelling to the development of writing novels, African novelists used these traditions to contest western distortions of African cultures. Following in these traditions, Adichie's works typically have ambiguous endings, indicating that cross-cultural experiences are in a continuous state of change. As Belgian Africanist Daria Tunca describes, refusal to provide closure "skillfully avoids reproducing" the questionable behaviors which Adichie has highlighted. Adichie breaks with tradition as well, in that in earlier African literature, women writers were often absent from the Nigerian literary canon, and female characters were often overlooked or became background material for male characters who were engaged in the socio-political and economic life of the community. Her style often focuses on strong women and adds gender perspectives to topics previously explored by other authors, such as colonialism, religion, and power relationships.
Adichie evaluates major social issues by deconstructing them to explore various interpretations. As an example, she often separates characters into social classes or traditional hierarchies to illustrate social ambiguities, attitudes, contradictions, power structures, restrictions, and roles. Her written works acknowledge that men and women experience history differently. By using narratives from characters of different segments of society, she reiterates her message in her TED talk, "The Danger of a Single Story", that there is no single truth about the past. Scholar Silvana Carotenuto argues that by drawing on themes which have had global impacts on shared history, Adichie is compelling her readers to recognise their own responsibility for everyone else and the injustice which exists in the world. According to Nigerian literary scholar and researcher Stanley Ordu, building unity and finding wholeness by removing oppression from all humans to effect change is a facet of African womanism. Ordu classifies Adichie's feminism as womanist because her analysis of patriarchal systems goes beyond sexist treatment of women and anti-male bias, looking instead at socio-economic, political, and racial struggles women face to survive and cooperate with men. For example, in Purple Hibiscus the character Auntie Ifeoma embodies a womanist world-view through coaching and encouraging all family members to work as a team and with consensus, so that each person's talents are utilised to their highest potential. By focusing on the group as a collective unit, Adichie promotes not only empowerment, but a focus on team member's well-being.
In both her written works and public speaking, Adichie incorporates keen observation and humour. To make complex ideas easier to understand, she uses anecdotes, and often employs irony, and satire to underscore a particular point of view. Adichie often watches the hustlers, hawkers, and professionals on the streets of Lagos, taking note of the cultural diversity in the city, which includes Igbo and Yoruba cultural expressions. These observations are incorporated into her writing and lectures, to represent the diverse "showiness of the Nigerian national character", and spirit, resilience, and initiative of its people. Adichie has increasingly developed a contemporary Pan-Africanist view of gender issues, becoming less interested in the way the West sees Africa and more interested in how Africa sees itself. She commonly breaks the unwritten rule to memorise her material for her speeches, and according to South African writer Sisonke Msimang, Adiche is "rebellious...she read[s] her talk because she [is] not the sort who would be pushed to adhere to silly rules".
Adichie, in a 2011 conversation with Kenyan writer Binyavanga Wainaina, stated that the overriding theme of her works was love. Using the feminist argument "The personal is political", love in her works is typically expressed through cultural identity, personal identity, and the human condition, and how these are impacted by social and political conflict. She frequently explores the intersections of class, culture, gender, (post-)imperialism, power, race, and religion. Struggle is a predominant theme throughout African literature, and Adichie's works follow in that tradition by examining families, communities, and relationships. Her explorations go beyond political strife and the struggle for rights, and typically examine what it is to be human. Many of her works deal with how the characters reconcile themselves with the trauma in their lives and how they move from being silenced and voiceless to self-empowered and able to tell their own stories.
Adichie's works, beginning with Purple Hibiscus, generally examine cultural identity. Igbo identity is typically at the forefront of her works, which celebrate Igbo language and culture, and African patriotism, in general. Her writing is an intentional dialogue with the West, intent on reclaiming African dignity and humanity. A recurring theme in Adichie's works is the Biafran War. The civil war was a "defining moment" in the post-colonial history of Nigeria and examining the conflict dramatises the way that the identity of the country was shaped. Her major work on the war, Half of a Yellow Sun highlights how policies, corruption, religious dogmatism, and strife played into the expulsion of the Igbo population and then forced their reintegration into the nation. Both actions had consequences, and Adichie presents the war as an unhealed wound, because of the reluctance for political leaders to address the issues that sparked it.
The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, reappears in Adichie's novels to illustrate the transformative nature of education in developing political consciousness, and symbolises the stimulation of Pan-African consciousness and a desire for independence in Half of a Yellow Sun. It appeared in both Purple Hibisus and Americanah as the site of resistance to authoritarian rule through civil disobedience and dissent by students. The university teaches the colonial accounts of history and develops the means to contest its distortions through indigenous knowledge, by recognising that colonial literature tells only part of the story and minimises African contributions. Adichie illustrates this in Half of a Yellow Sun, when mathematics instructor Odenigbo, explains to his houseboy Ugwu, that he will learn in school that the Niger River was discovered by a white man named Mungo Park, although the indigenous people had fished the river for generations. But, Odenigbo cautions Ugwu that even though the story of Park's discovery is false, he must use the wrong answer or he will fail his exam.
Adichie's works about African diaspora consistently examine themes of belonging, adaptation, and discrimination. It is often shown as an obsession to assimilate and is demonstrated by characters changing their names, a common theme to most of Adiche's short fiction, which is used to point out hypocrisy. By using the theme of immigration, she is able to develop dialogue on how her characters' perceptions and identity are changed by living abroad and encountering different cultural norms. Initially alienated by the customs and traditions of a new place, the characters, such as Ifemelu in Americanah, eventually discover ways to connect with communities in the location. Ifemelu's connections are made through self-exploration, which rather than leading to assimilation of her new culture, lead her to a heightened awareness of being part of the African diaspora, and adoption of a dual perspective which reshapes and transforms her sense of self. Awareness of Blackness as part of identity, initially a foreign concept to Africans upon arriving in the United States, is shown not only in those works, but also in her feminist tract, Dear Ijeawele or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions. In it, she evaluates themes of identity which recur in Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and The Thing Around Your Neck such as stereotypical perceptions of Black women's physical appearance, their hair, and their objectification. Dear Ijeawele stresses the political importance of using African names, rejection of colorism, exercising freedom of expression in how they wear their hair (including rejecting patronising curiosity about it), and avoiding commodification, such as marriageability tests which reduce a woman's worth to that of a prize, seeing only her value as a man's wife. Her women characters repeatedly resist being defined by stereotypes and embody a quest for women's empowerment.
Adichie's works often deal with inter-generational explorations of family units which allow her to examine differing experiences of oppression and liberation. In both Purple Hibiscus and "The Headstrong Historian", one of the stories included in The Thing Around Your Neck, Adichie examined these themes using the family as a miniature representation of violence for the setting. Female sexuality, both within patriarchal marriage relationships and outside of marriage are frequent themes, which Adichie typically uses to explore romantic complexities and boundaries. For homosexuality in her work, she discusses it as marital affairs in stories like "Transition to Glory", taboo topics like romantic feelings for clergy in Purple Hibiscus, and seduction of a friend's boyfriend in "Light Skin". Miscarriage, motherhood, and the struggles of womanhood are recurring themes in Adichie's works, and are often examined in relation to Christianity, patriarchy, and social expectation. For example, in the short story "Zikora", she deals with the interlocking biological, cultural, and political aspects of becoming a mother and expectations placed upon women. The story examines the failure of contraception and an unexpected pregnancy, abandonment by her partner, single motherhood, social pressure, and Zikora's identity crisis, and the various emotions she experiences about becoming a mother.
Adichie's works show a deep interest in humanity and the complexities of the human condition. She repeats themes like forgiveness and betrayal in works such as Half of a Yellow Sun, when Olanna forgives her lover's infidelity or Ifemelu's decision to separate from her boyfriend in Americanah. Her examination of war shines a light on how both sides of any conflict commit atrocities and neither side is blameless for the unfolding violence. Her narrative demonstrates that knowledge and understanding of diverse classes and ethnic groups is necessary to create harmonious multi-ethnic communities. Other forms of violence, like sexual abuse, rape, domestic abuse, and rage are repeated themes in Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and the stories collected in The Thing Around Your Neck. Each of these themes are used to symbolise the universality of power or the misuse of power and its impact on and manifestation in society.
Adichie, in a 2014 article written for Elle, described becoming aware of a Western social norm that "women who wanted to be taken seriously were supposed to substantiate their seriousness with a studied indifference to appearance." The western concept contrasted with her upbringing in Nigeria, because in West Africa the attention that a person pays to their fashion and style correlates to the amount of prestige and respectability they will be given by society. She began to recognise that people were judged for the way that they dressed. Particularly women writers wrote disparagingly about or trivialised attention to fashion, depicting woman who enjoyed fashion and makeup as silly, shallow, or vain and without any depth. Acknowledging the relationship between beauty, fashion, and style, and socio-political inequalities, Adichie became committed to promoting body positivity as a means to acquire agency. She began to focus on body politics, taking particular pride in her African features such as her skin colour, hair texture, and curves, and wearing bold designs featuring bright colours to make a statement about self-empowerment.
Adichie was included on Vanity Fair's 2016 International Best-Dressed List, and cited Michelle Obama as her style idol. That year, Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first female creative director of French fashion company Dior, featured in her debut collection a T-shirt with the title of Adichie's TED talk, "We Should All Be Feminists". Adichie was surprised to learn that Dior had never had a woman rule its creative division and agreed to a collaboration with Chiuri, who invited her as an honoured guest to sit in the front-row of the company's spring runway show during the Paris Fashion Week. Scholar Matthew Lecznar stated that Adichie often challenges feminist stereotypes through references to fashion. He called her allowing Dior to feature her text a skillful way to use various media forms to not only deliver political messaging, but also to develop her image as a multi-faceted intellectual, literary, and fashionable "transmedia phenomenon". She became the face of No.7, a makeup brand division of British drugstore retailer Boots. In her 2016 Facebook post Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, Adichie argued that minimising femininity and its expression through fashion and makeup is "part of a culture of sexism".
On 8 May 2017, Adichie announced her "Wear Nigerian" campaign on her Facebook page. The government of Nigeria had launched a "Buy Nigerian to Grow the Naira", after the Nigerian naira experienced a devaluation. She set up an Instagram account that was managed by her nieces Chisom and Amaka, and gained around 600,000 followers. Adichie's goal was to help protect Nigeria's cultural heritage by showcasing the quality of craftsmanship and use of innovative hand-made techniques, materials and textiles being used by Nigerian designers. Just as important was the idea of persuading Nigerians to buy local products, as opposed to purchasing garments abroad, as had been done in the past. The posts on her page do not focus on her private life, but instead highlight her professional appearances all over the world, in an effort to show that style has the power to push boundaries and have global impact. She won a Shorty Award in 2018 for her "Wear Nigerian" campaign, and in 2019 was selected as one of 15 women to appear on the cover of the issue of British Vogue that was guest-edited by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
In a 2021 discussion at Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, Adichie spoke with the former Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, and journalists Miriam Meckel and Léa Steinacker. They discussed that for democracy to survive, people needed to preserve their traditions and history, be informed about intolerance, and learn to accept diversity. Adichie said that she often uses fashion to educate people about diversity and Merkel agreed that it could serve as a cultural bridge to bring people together globally.
Although Adichie was raised as a Catholic, she considers her views, especially those on feminism, to sometimes conflict with her religion. As sectarian tensions in Nigeria arose between Christians and Muslims in 2012, she urged leaders to preach messages of peace and togetherness. Adichie stated that her relationship to Catholicism is complicated because she identifies culturally as Catholic, but feels that the focus of the church on money and guilt are not in-line with her values. In a 2017 event at Georgetown University, she stated that differences in ideology between Catholic and Church Missionary Society leaders caused divisions in Nigerian society during her childhood and she left the church around the time of the inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI in 2015. She acknowledged that the birth of her daughter and election of Pope Francis drew her back to the Catholic faith and a decision to raise her child as Catholic. By 2021, Adichie stated that she was a nominal Catholic and only attended mass when she could find a progressive community focused on uplifting humanity. She clarified that "I think of myself as agnostic and questioning". That year, her reflections on Pope Francis's encyclical Fratelli tutti were published in Italian in the 5 July edition of the Vatican's newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. In her article, "Sognare come un'unica umanitàs" ("Dreaming as a Single Humanity"), Adichie recalled being berated at her mother's funeral for having criticised the church's focus on money, but she also acknowledged that Catholic rituals gave her solace during her mourning. She stated that Pope Francis' call in Fratelli tutti for recognition of everyone as part of the human family and for their responsibility to care for each other allowed her to re-imagine what the church might be.
Adichie is an activist and supporter of LGBT rights in Africa, who has been vocal in her support for LGBT rights in Nigeria. She has questioned whether consensual homosexual conduct between adults rises to the standard of a crime, as crime requires a victim and harm to society. When Nigeria passed an anti-homosexuality bill in 2014, she was among the Nigerian writers who objected to the law, calling it unconstitutional, unjust, and "a strange priority to a country with so many real problems". She stated that adults expressing affection for each other did not cause harm to society, but that the law would "lead to crimes of violence". Adichie was close friends with Kenyan writer Binyavanga Wainaina, whom she credited with demystifying and humanising homosexuality when he publicly came out in 2014. Writer Bernard Dayo said that Adichie's eulogy to Wainaina in 2019 perfectly captured the spirit of the "bold LGBTQ activist [of] the African literary world where homosexuality is still treated as a fringe concept."
Since 2017, Adichie has been repeatedly accused of transphobia, initially for saying that "my feeling is trans women are trans women" in an interview aired on Channel 4 in Britain. She apologised, and acknowledged that trans women need support and that they have experienced severe oppression, but she also stated that transgender women and other women's experiences are different, and one could acknowledge those differences without invalidating or diminishing either's lived experience. After the apology, Adichie attempted to clarify her statement,[d] by stressing that girls are socialised in ways that damage their self-worth, which has a lasting impact throughout their lives, whereas boys benefit from the advantages of male privilege, before transitioning. Some accepted her apology, and others rejected it as a trans-exclusionary radical feminist view that biological sex determines gender.
The controversy emerged again in 2020 when Adichie voiced support for J. K. Rowling's article on gender and sex, in an interview in the British newspaper, The Guardian, calling the essay "perfectly reasonable". That interview sparked a Twitter backlash from critics of her opinion, which included a former graduate of one of Adichie's writing workshops, Akwaeke Emezi. In response, Adichie penned "It Is Obscene: A True Reflection in Three Parts" and posted it on her website in June 2021, criticising the use of social media to air out grievances. The following month, students who were members of the LGBT community at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, boycotted her public lecture on their campus. Adichie admitted in an interview with Otosirieze Obi-Young in September that she was "deeply hurt" by the backlash and began a period of self-reflection on her biases, informed by reading anything she could find to help her understand trans issues.
In late 2022, she faced further criticism for her views after another interview with The Guardian when she said, "So somebody who looks like my brother – he says, 'I'm a woman', and walks into the women's bathroom, and a woman goes, 'You're not supposed to be here', and she's transphobic?" The interview, according to the LGBT magazine PinkNews shows that Adichie "remains insensitive to the nuances or sensitivities of the ongoing fight for trans rights" and thus, criticised her for perpetuating "harmful rhetoric about trans people". Cheryl Stobie of the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, said that Adichie supported an "exclusionary conceptualisation of gender". B. Camminga, a postdoctoral fellow at the African Centre for Migration & Society at the University of the Witwatersrand stated that Adichie's fame led to her comments on trans women being elevated and the voices of other African women, both trans and cis, being silenced. According to Camminga, Adichie disregarded her own advice in "The Danger of a Single Story" by telling a "single story of trans existence".
In 2009, Adichie delivered a TED Talk entitled "The Danger of a Single Story." In the talk Adichie expressed her concern that accepting one version of a story perpetrates myths and stereotypes because it fails to recognise the complexities of human life and situations. She argued that under-representation of the layers that make up a person's identity or culture deprives them of their humanity. Adichie has continued to reuse the message drawn from the talk in her subsequent speeches, including her address at the Hilton Humanitarian Symposium of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation in 2019. On 15 March 2012, Adichie became the youngest person to deliver a Commonwealth Lecture. The presentation was given at the Guildhall in London addressing the theme "Connecting Cultures". Adichie said, "Realistic fiction is not merely the recording of the real, as it were, it is more than that, it seeks to infuse the real with meaning. As events unfold, we do not always know what they mean. But in telling the story of what happened, meaning emerges and we are able to make connections with emotive significance." She stated that literature could build bridges between cultures because it united the imaginations of all who read the same books.
Adichie accepted an invitation to speak in London in 2012, at TEDxEuston, because a series of talks focusing on African affairs was being organised by her brother Chuks, who worked in the technology and information development department there, and she wanted to help him. In her presentation, "We Should All Be Feminists", Adichie stressed the importance of reclaiming the word "feminist" to combat the negative connotations previously associated with it. She said that feminism should be about exploring the intersections of oppression, such as how class, race, gender, and sexuality influences equal opportunities and human rights, causing global gender gaps in education, pay, and power. In 2015, Adichie returned to the theme of feminism at the commencement address for Wellesley College and reminded students that they should not allow their ideologies to exclude other ideas and should "minister to the world in a way that can change it. Minister radically in a real, active, practical, 'get your hands dirty' way". She has spoken at many commencement ceremonies, including at Williams College (2017), Harvard University (2018), and the American University (2019). Adichie was the first African to speak at Yale University's Class Day, giving a lecture in 2019 which encouraged students to be open to new experiences and ideas and "find a way to marry idealism and pragmatism because there are complicated shades of grey everywhere".
Adichie co-curated the 2015 Pen World Voices Festival in New York City, along with Laszlo Jakab Orsos. i The festival theme was contemporary literature of Africa and its diaspora. She closed the conference with her Arthur Miller Freedom to Write lecture, which focused on censorship and using one's voice to speak out against injustices. In addressing her audience, she pointed out cultural differences between Nigeria and America, such as the code of silence which in the United States often acts as censorship. She stated that molding a story to fit an existing narrative, such as characterising the Boko Haram's kidnapping of schoolgirls as equal to the Taliban's treatment of women, is a form of censorship which hides the truth that Boko Haram opposes western-style education for anyone. Although she did not speak of her father's recent kidnapping and release, writer Nicole Lee of The Guardian said that the crowd was aware of her personal ordeal, which made her speech "all the more poignant".
In 2016, Adichie was invited to speak about her thoughts on Donald Trump's election to the US Presidency for the BBC's program Newsnight. When she arrived at the studio, she was informed that the format would be a debate between her and R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., a Trump supporter and the editor-in-chief of The American Spectator, a conservative magazine. Tempted to walk out of the interview, Adichie decided to continue because she wanted to discuss her views on how economic disenfranchisement had led to Trump's victory. The debate turned adversarial when Tyrrell said "I do not respond emotionally like this lady", and then declared that "Trump hasn't been a racist". Adichie countered his statements and gave an example citing Trump's statement that Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel could not be impartial in the case Low v. Trump University because of his Mexican heritage. After the debate, she wrote on her Facebook that she felt ambushed by the BBC and that they had "sneakily [pitted her] against a Trump supporter" to create adversarial entertainment. In response, the BBC issued an apology for not informing her of the nature of the interview, but claimed they had designed the program to offer a balanced perspective.
Adichie delivered the 2nd annual Eudora Welty Lecture on 8 November 2017 at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. The lecture was presented to a sold-out crowd and focused on her development as a writer. That year, she also spoke at the Foreign Affairs Symposium held at Johns Hopkins University. Her talk focused on the fragility of optimism in the face of the current political climate. Adichie and Hillary Clinton delivered the 2018 PEN World Voices Festival, Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture at Cooper Union in Manhattan. Although the speech was centered on feminism and censorship, Adichie's questioning of why Clinton's Twitter profile began with "wife" instead of her own accomplishments became the focus of media attention, prompting Clinton to change her Twitter bio. Later that year, she spoke at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, about breaking the cycles which silence women's voices. She stated that studies had shown that women read literature created by men and women, but men primarily read works by other men. She urged men to begin to read women writers' works to gain an understanding and be able to acknowledge women's struggles in society. In 2019, as part of the Chancellor's Lecture Series, she gave the speech "Writer, Thinker, Feminist: Vignettes from Life" at Vanderbilt University's Langford Auditorium. The speech focused on her development as a storyteller, and her motives for addressing systemic inequalities to create a more inclusive world.
Adichie has been the keynote speaker at numerous global conferences. In 2018, she spoke at the 7th Annual International Igbo Conference, and encouraged the audience to preserve their culture and fight misconceptions and inaccuracies about Igbo heritage. She revealed in her presentation "Igbo bu Igbo" ("Igbo Is Igbo") that she only speaks to her daughter in Igbo, which was the only language her daughter spoke at the age of two. Speaking at the inaugural Gabriel García Márquez Lecture in Cartagena, Colombia in 2019, Adichie addressed violence in the country and urged leaders to focus on educating citizens from childhood to reject violence and sexual exploitation and end violent behaviors. Her speech was given in the Nelson Mandela barrio, one of the poorest neighborhoods of the city, and she encouraged Black women to work with men to change the violent culture and celebrate their African roots. Her keynote address at the 2020 Congreso Futuro [es] (Future Conference) in Santiago, Chile, focused on the importance of listening. She said that to become an effective advocate, a person must understand a wide variety of perspectives. She stressed that people become better problem solvers if they learn to listen to people with whom they may not agree, because other points of view help everyone recognise their common humanity. She was the keynote speaker of the 2021 Reykjavik International Literature Festival held in the Háskólbíó cinema at the University of Iceland, and presented the talk In Pursuit of Joy: On Storytelling, Feminism, and Changing My Mind. On 30 November 2022, Adichie delivered the first of the BBC's 2022 Reith Lectures, inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech. Her talk explored how to balance the right to freedom of speech against those who undermine facts with partisan messaging.
Adichie married Ivara Esege, a Nigerian doctor, in 2009, and their daughter was born in 2016. The family primarily lives in the United States because of Esege's medical practice, but they also maintain a home in Nigeria. Adichie has Nigerian nationality and permanent resident status in the US.
Larissa MacFarquhar of The New Yorker stated that Adichie is "regarded as one of the most vital and original novelists of her generation". Her works have been translated into more than 30 languages. Obi-Young Otosirieze pointed out in his cover story about Adichie for the Nigerian magazine Open Country Mag in September 2021, that "her novels...broke down a wall in publishing. Purple Hibiscus proved that there was an international market for African realist fiction post-Achebe [and] Half of a Yellow Sun showed that that market could care about African histories". In an earlier article published in Brittle Paper, he stated that Half of a Yellow Sun's paperback release in 2006 reached 500,000 copies sold, the benchmark of commercial success for a book, by October 2009 in the UK alone. Her novel Americanah reached sales of 500,000 copies in the US within two years of its 2013 release. As of 2022 , "The Danger of a Single Story" had received more than 27 million views. As of 1 September 2023, the talk is one of the top 25 most viewed TED Talks of all time.
According to Lisa Allardice, a journalist writing for The Guardian, Adichie became the "poster girl for modern feminism after her 2012 TED Talk 'We Should All Be Feminists' went stratospheric and was distributed in book form to every 16-year-old in Sweden". Adichie has become "a global feminist icon" and a recognised "public thinker" per journalist Lauren Alix Brown. Parts of Adichie's TEDx Talk were sampled in the song "Flawless" by singer Beyoncé on 13 December 2013. When asked in an NPR interview about that, Adichie responded that "anything that gets young people talking about feminism is a very good thing." She later refined the statement in an interview with the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, saying that she liked and admired Beyoncé and gave permission to use her text because the singer "reached many people who would otherwise probably never have heard the word feminism." But, she went on to state that the sampling caused a media frenzy with requests from newspapers world-wide who were keen to report on her new-found fame because of Beyoncé. Adichie said, "I am a writer and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me". She was disappointed by the media portrayal, but acknowledged that "Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again." Adichie was outspoken against critics who later questioned the singer's credentials as a feminist because she uses her sexuality to "pander to the male gaze". In defence of Beyoncé, Adichie said: "Whoever says they're feminist is bloody feminist."
Scholar Matthew Lecznar said that Adichie's stature as "one of most prominent writers and feminists of the age" allowed her to use her celebrity "to demonstrate the power of dress and empower people from diverse contexts to embrace [fashion]...which has everything to do with the politics of identity". Academics Floriana Bernardi and Enrica Picarelli credited her support of the Nigerian fashion industry with helping put Nigeria "at the forefront" of the movement to use fashion as a globally-recognised political mechanism of empowerment. Toyin Falola, a professor of history, in an evaluation of scholarship in Nigeria, criticised the policy of elevating academic figures prematurely. He argued that scholarship, particularly in the humanities, should challenge policies and processes to strengthen the social contract between citizens and government. He suggested that the focus should shift from recognising scholars who merely influenced other scholars to the acknowledgement of intellectuals who use their talents to benefit the state and serve as mentors to Nigerian youth. Adichie was among those he felt qualified as "intellectual heroes", who had "push[ed] forward the boundaries of social change".
Adichie's book Half of a Yellow Sun was adapted into a film of the same title directed by Biyi Bandele in 2013. In 2018, a painting of Adichie was included in a wall mural at the Municipal Sport Center in the Concepción barrio of Madrid, along with fourteen other historically influential women. The fifteen women were selected by members of the neighborhood to give a visible representation of the role of women in history and to serve as a symbol of equality. The neighborhood residents defeated a move by conservative politicians to remove the mural in 2021 through a petition drive of collected signatures.
Luke Ndidi Okolo, a lecture a Nnamdi Azikiwe University said, "Adichie's novel treats clear and lofty subjects and themes. But the subjects and themes, however, are not new to African novels. The remarkable difference of excellence in Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus is the stylistic variation – her choice of linguistic and literary features, and the pattern of application of the features in such a wondrous juxtaposition of characters' reasoning and thought." Adichie's work has garnered significant critical acclaim and numerous awards. Book critics such as Daria Tunca wrote that Adichie's work is considerably relevant and stated that she was a major voice in the Third Generation of Nigerian writers, while Izuu Nwankwọ called her invented Igbo naming scheme as an "artform", which she has perfected in her works. He lauded her ability to insert Igbo language and meaning into an English-language text without disrupting the flow or distorting the storyline. In the judgement of Ernest Emenyonu, one of the most prominent scholars of Igbo literature, Adichie was "the leading and most engaging voice of her era" and he has described her as "Africa's preeminent storyteller". Toyin Falola, a professor of history hailed her along other writers, as "intellectual heroes". Her memoir, Notes On Grief was positively praised by Kirkus Reviews as "an elegant, moving contribution to the literature of death and dying." Leslie Gray Streeter of The Independent said that Adichie's thoughts on grief "puts a welcome, authentic voice to this most universal of emotions, which is also one of the most universally avoided." She has been widely recognised as "the literary daughter of Chinua Achebe." Jane Shilling of the Daily Telegraph called her "one who makes storytelling seem as easy as birdsong".
Adichie has gained wide praise for her speeches and lectures. Journalist Shreya Ila Anasuya described Adichie's public speaking as delightful and articulate, noting that her timing allowed sufficient pausing for the audience response, before she continued by distilling "her wisdom into the simplest and most compassionate of telling". Critic Erica Wagner called Adichie a "star", stating that she spoke with fluency and power, exuding authority and confidence. She called "The Danger of a Single Story" an "accessible essay on how we might see the world through another's eyes". Media and communications professor Erika M. Behrmann, who reviewed Adichie's TEDxEuston Talk, "We Should All Be Feminists" praised her as a "gifted storyteller", who was able to intimately connect with her audience. Behrmann stated that the talk used language that made it relatable to children and adults, giving a basic foundation for students to learn about feminist ideas and issues, as well as learning about how gender is socially-constructed by culture. She also said that Adichie demonstrated that gender inequality is a global challenge, and offered solutions to combat disparities by focussing less on gender roles and more on developing skills based upon ability and interests. However, Behrmann criticised the lack of discussion in the talk on the intersectional aspects of peoples' identities and Adichie's reliance on binary terms (boy/girl, man/woman, male/female), which left "little room to imagine and explore how transgender and genderqueer" people contribute to or are impacted by feminism. Emenyonu said that her "talks, blogs, musings on social media, essays and commentaries, workshop mentoring for budding writers and lecture circuit discourses...expand and define her mission as a writer". Scholar Grace Musila said Adiche's brand encompasses her reputation as a writer, public figure, and fashionista which expanded her reach and the legitimacy of her ideas far beyond academic circles.
In 2002, Adichie was shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing for her story, "You in America." She also won the BBC World Service Short Story Competition for "That Harmattan Morning", while her short story "The American Embassy" won the 2003 O. Henry Award and the David T. Wong International Short Story Prize from PEN International. Her book, Purple Hibiscus was well received with positive reviews from book critics. the book sold well and was awarded the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for the Best Book (2005), Hurston-Wright Legacy Award, and shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction (2004), Half of a Yellow Sun garnered acclaim including winning the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2007, the International Nonino Prize (2009), and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award. Her book story collection, The Thing Around Your Neck was the runner-up to the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for 2010. One story from the book, "Ceiling" was included in The Best American Short Stories 2011. Americanah was listed among the "10 Best Books of 2013" by The New York Times, and won the National Book Critics Circle Award (2014), and the One City One Book (2017). Her book Dear Ijeawele, translated in French as Chère Ijeawele, ou un manifeste pour une éducation féministe won the Le Grand Prix de l'Héroïne Madame Figaro in the category of best non-fiction book in 2017.
Adichie was a finalist of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction (2014). She won the Barnard Medal of Distinction (2016), and the W. E. B. Du Bois Medal (2022), the highest honour from Harvard University. She was listed in The New Yorker's "20 Under 40" authors in 2010, and the Africa39 under 40 authors during the Hay Festival in 2014, She was listed in Time 100 in 2015, and The Africa Report's list of the "100 Most Influential Africans" in 2019. In 2018, she was selected as the winner of the PEN Pinter Prize, which recognises writers whose body of literary work uncovers truth through critical analysis of life and society. The award recipient chooses the winner of the companion prize, the Pinter International Writer of Courage Award, for which Adichie named Waleed Abulkhair, a Saudi Arabian lawyer and human rights activist. The Women's Prize for Fiction, formerly known as the Orange Prize, selected 25 candidates for its Winner of Winners in honour of its 25th anniversary celebrations in 2020. The public chose Adichie for Half of a Yellow Sun for the award.
In 2017, Adichie was elected as one of 228 new members to be inducted into the 237th class of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, making her the second Nigerian to be given the honour after Wole Soyinka. As of March 2022, Adichie had received 16 honorary degrees from universities including Johns Hopkins University (2016), Haverford College (2017), the University of Edinburgh (2017), American University (2018), Georgetown University (2018), Yale University (2018), Rhode Island School of Design (2019), Eastern Connecticut State University, Williams College, Duke University, Amherst College (2018), Bowdoin College, SOAS University of London, Northwestern University, and the Catholic University of Louvain (2022). President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari selected her to be honoured as a recipient of the Order of the Federal Republic in 2022, but Adichie rejected the national distinction.

In 2013, rumours spread across the internet, claiming that the actor had died. Many posted that he had fallen off a 50-feet height mountain in Kitzbuhel, Austria. Some were even talking of a Pete Edochie burial ceremony. But the actor was quick to stop the unfounded claims by saying he never flies and would not have gone to Austria from Nigeria on foot.

Although he seemed to have a successful career as a broadcaster, he quit his job at the radio station and took a chance in acting. His first role on the screens was in the 1980 television series Things Fall Apart when he played Okonkwo.
He received accolades for his performances and won an international award. It is from there that Pete Edochie showed his talents and acting brilliance. That cemented his position as one of the best actors in Nigeria.

Flavour, who is well known for his ability to sing fluently in the Igbo language, was born in Enugu State, Nigeria. His family is originally from Umunze in Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, Nigeria. Flavour began his music career at the age of 13 when he started playing the drums for his church choir in Enugu. The resident pastor at his church introduced him to a friend, Chris I.

After three years of playing the drums, Flavour started playing the drums professionally. In 1999, Flavour moved on from playing the drums and started playing the keyboard. He also used to provide backing vocals for other musicians at SoundCity.
At the age of 19, Flavour emerged unto Nigeria's musical scene as a drummer and pianist for a local Enugu band. After learning to play drums professionally, Flavour received an offer to perform at City Centre, Enugu. The massive crowd at City Centre inspired him to gain new grounds and reach great heights.

Yul Edochie described Mercy Johnson as one of the greatest actresses the Nigerian movie industry is blessed with.
He wrote:
Happy birthday to one of the greatest actresses in Nollywood history. I had to study her acting style many years ago and it helped me get to where I am today. But that’s a story for another day.
Happy birthday, @mercyjohnsonokojie Wish you many more great years. May God be with you always.
Yul Edochie (born Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie 7 January, 1982) is a Nigerian actor, named after popular Russian actor Yul Brynner.

He attended the University of Port Harcourt, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Arts.
Yul Edochie attended Lillians’ Day Nursery School and Robinson Street Primary School, Enugu between 1984 and 1992. His secondary education started from 1992 to 1998. In those 6 years he went to Marist Brothers’ Juniorate, Uturu , University Secondary School Enugu, Ecumenical Community Secondary School Enugu and New Haven Boys Secondary School Enugu Respectively.

Edochie Joined Nollywood in 2005 in his first film titled “The Exquires” alongside the Late Justus Esiri and Enebeli Elebuwa. He got his break in 2007 after featuring alongside Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie “Wind Of Glory”.
In 2015, Edochie opened a film academy in Lagos. He launched the academy as a result of the decline in quality and professionalism of upcoming Nigerian actors and actresses. The academy as stated by him is supposed to train the next generation of Nollywood actors and actresses. A duty which he intends to do personally. The academy gives talented people the opportunity to be introduced to the Nigerian Film Industry.
On the 14 July 2017, Edochie declared his intention run for Governor of Anambra State. This declaration was made in anticipation of a Not Too Young To Run Bill passed by the senate of the federal government of Nigeria. The declaration was however made official on the 22nd of August 2017, when he picked up the nomination form of the political party “Democratic Peoples Congress” and was eventually the flag bearer and gubernatorial candidate of the party to run for governor of Anambra State.

‘‘Igbos are doing well in Lagos State. One hundred per cent of Igbos in other states didn't protest, and their states are eighty per cent peaceful. Even in Lagos, the responsible ones didn't say anything—they supported President Bola Tinubu’’.

Yoruba actor and matchmaker Adams Kehinde, aka Lege Miami, has commended the people of the Southeast (Igbos) for boycotting the ongoing nationwide protests.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that Nigeria’s Southeast residents shunned the nationwide protest against economic hardship and insecurity, which began on Thursday and will continue until 10 August.
On Thursday, this newspaper reported that the protest failed to be held across Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi State, and Imo—as the capital was on lockdown. On Thursday, the Ohanaze Ndigbo, an Igbo socio-cultural organisation, also commended the South-East region for boycotting the nationwide protest.
Lege Miami, an avid supporter of President Bola Tinubu, interpreted the protest boycotts in the region as allegiance to the country’s leadership and alleged in a viral video on Saturday that the Yorubas (South Westerners) were behind the protests.
The actor said: “I want to tell the Federal Government of Nigeria something that I want them to notice. Firstly, if we’re talking about the Igbos, they’re doing well in Lagos State. I know some Yoruba people are unfortunate; one hundred per cent of Igbos in other states didn’t protest, and their states are eighty per cent peaceful. Even in Lagos, the responsible ones didn’t say anything—they supported President Bola Tinubu. However, ten per cent of them who have mixed with the Yoruba are the ones causing trouble in the country.
“But God will punish and destroy their lives. Look at me very well; I was stubborn and strong, and my Lege Miami was used to cover the destructive part of me. I can destroy; if you are truly born of your parents as a Yoruba person who is unfortunate, come and face me. You’ll die. It will be on your back when Nigeria gets better.”
He alleged that Yoruba people are to blame for the failures of other Yoruba individuals.
We believe in Tinubu
In a video shared on his Instagram page Friday, Lege Miami said residents of Shomolu in Lagos, where he resides, would not join the ongoing protest.
The actor, known for his matchmaking platform, said Shomolu residents wouldn’t join the protest because they believe that Mr Tinubu’s government would fix the bad economy Nigeria is currently facing.
He said, “There is no protest in Shomolu. This is the Shomolu area, where we were born and raised. As we are like this, we cannot be against the government.
“This is because we want to be patient so the government can do what it is doing. We believe in the government of Bola Tinubu; we know he will deliver. Everywhere in Shomolu is peaceful.”
Before protest
Before the protest, Lege Miami and other celebrities such as Yul Edochie, Tonto Dikeh, and comedian Seyi Law preached against it and encouraged Nigerians to embrace dialogue.
Actress-cum-politician Dikeh cautioned Nigerians against the protest, citing the EndSARS protest as an example.
On her Facebook page, Dikeh, an APC member, acknowledged the daily increase in commodities but maintained that dialogue could solve the issue.
The 39-year-old urged Nigerians to form a representative group to advocate on their behalf rather than engaging in nationwide protests.
“I know how disheartening it is to wake up and see that the price of almost everything in the market has increased by over one hundred per cent, even without any rise in our earnings. Many people working 9-5 jobs are now seeking alternative sources of income because a significant portion of what we earn is consumed by commuting and transportation costs due to the drastic increase in petrol prices, contributing to the high cost of living.
“This suggestion is not meant to negate the effectiveness of protests or deprive youths of their civil rights. It is based on concern and experience with the last EndSARS protest, which was hijacked by ill-minded individuals to perpetrate evil at the expense of many youths’ lives, ultimately ruining the message and approach”, she said.
Similarly, Edochie, on his Instagram page, acknowledged the hardship but argued that taking to the streets to protest wasn’t the solution.
The 42-year-old stated, “I acknowledge the hardship in the country, the situation of things. It’s affecting everybody; I believe all will be well. Protest is not the answer—people take advantage of protests to break into other people’s shops, steal, destroy, hurt, and kill innocent Nigerians who are already going through a lot. In the end, the aim of the protest will be defeated. Remember what happened during EndSARS; protest is not the answer.
“Let’s keep speaking out and doing all we can to help. President Tinubu listens and does all he can to make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient.”
More so, Seyi Law said on his X page that he advocated for proper communication of government policies rather than protest because he wants the government to succeed.
“For months here, I cried and spoke about proper communication of government policies. People insulted me and accused me of being paid. I spent my money and went to Abuja several times to talk with our people because I want this government to succeed. You can do well, but bad communication will not do you well. We are here now. What do we do? Where do we go from here?”

The actor Yul Edochie, said Nollywood movies are only a reflection of what obtains in society. Nollywoood actor, Yul Edochie, has asked House of Representatives member Toby Okechukwu (PDP-Enugu) to focus on fixing Nigeria, instead of blaming Nollywood for the rise in cases of ritual killings.
The actor in an Instagram post on February 11, said that Nollywood movies are only a reflection of what obtains in society.
“From when I was a kid in the eighties I started hearing about ritual killing in Nigeria. Then there was no Nollywood.
Hunger and poverty make people to do crime. No be Nollywood cause am.
“Nollywood is only showing what happens in the society. Nigerians are wallowing in extreme poverty. A hungry man is an angry man. Fix the country and crime will go away. Don’t blame Nollywood,” the actor responded.
The blame game between the lawmaker and the actor on the exponential rise in ritual killings, followed a motion raised by the deputy minority leader over the surge in ritual related killings across Nigeria.
Yul Edochie (born Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie 7 January 1982) is a Nigerian actor, named after popular Russian actor Yul Brynner. He is from Anambra State Nigeria, the son of Nigerian actor Pete Edochie. He was raised both in Lagos and Enugu. He is the last of 6 children. He got married at the age of 22. He attended the University of Port Harcourt, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Arts.
Yul Edochie attended Lillians’ Day Nursery School and Robinson Street Primary School, Enugu between 1984 and 1992. His secondary education started from 1992 to 1998. In those 6 years he went to Marist Brothers’ Juniorate, Uturu , University Secondary School Enugu, Ecumenical Community Secondary School Enugu and New Haven Boys Secondary School Enugu Respectively.
Edochie is married to May Aligwe and has 3 sons and a daughter.
Edochie Joined Nollywood in 2005 in his first film titled “The Exquires” alongside the Late Justus Esiri and Enebeli Elebuwa. He got his break in 2007 after featuring alongside Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie “Wind Of Glory”.
In 2015, Edochie opened a film academy in Lagos. He launched the academy as a result of the decline in quality and professionalism of upcoming Nigerian actors and actresses. The academy as stated by him is supposed to train the next generation of Nollywood actors and actresses. A duty which he intends to do personally. The academy gives talented people the opportunity to be introduced to the Nigerian Film Industry.
On the 14 July 2017, Edochie declared his intention run for Governor of Anambra State. This declaration was made in anticipation of a Not Too Young To Run Bill passed by the senate of the federal government of Nigeria. The declaration was however made official on the 22nd of August 2017, when he picked up the nomination form of the political party “Democratic Peoples Congress”and was eventually the flag bearer and gubernatorial candidate of the party to run for governor of Anambra State.

Nigerian Actor Yul Edochie has sparked reactions online after revealing his view on money and life.
The Social media influencer and cleric took to his Instagram handle and wondered why people tend to take life seriously when we are all meant to die and will die anyway.
He detailed his view on people who are overzealous about life to the extent that they find it challenging to spend their hard-earned money and urged them to resist such habit.
He further cautioned that people should spend their money and not stock it to avoid foreseeing another person squandering it when they are gone.
His words:
“We’re all going to die. It’s only a matter of time. e go reach everybody.”
“Life is really not that serious. Na we just dey take am too serious.”
“That money wey you dey hide, bring am out, chop am well well.”
“Share some to other people. If not, you go still leave am die.”
Nigerians couldn’t hold their nerves and reacted massively via all the social media platforms.

Actor, filmmaker and politician, Yul Edochie, has revealed that while trying to establish himself in the movie industry, he was tempted to drop his father’s name, (Pete) Edochie.
Yul stated this on Thursday night during Life Continental Beer’s socio-cultural discourse with the theme, ‘Bringing Home the Glory: A toast to Progress and Success’ held at the Base Event Centre, Enugu.
The politician stated that when he completed his secondary education, he had the option of doing something else other than being an actor or filmmaker because he did not want to be under the shadow of his father.
He said, “In 1998, when I got into the university, I had the option of doing something else or studying any other course because my father was already doing well in the film industry. I had the option of doing any other course and decide to do anyhow (sic) because I would be under my father’s wings. But, I decided to study Theatre Arts. After that, I started hustling and my journey started from Enugu.
“There were times I boarded night buses from Enugu to Lagos to attend auditions that didn’t work. But in those times it didn’t work out, I wasn’t ‘pissed’ that things didn’t work out but I was happy that I even got the opportunity to be there in the first place. My father was big in the industry and still is. He had made a name for himself but I was determined not to dwell under his wings. I wanted to make my own name. So, I gave myself time.”
The actor stated that at a time, he considered dropping his surname. He said, “At a time, I even said I was going to change my name. I wanted to remove ‘Edochie’, so that people would see me as Yul, graduate of Theatre Arts wanting to make a name for himself. I started from scratch and I needed to make my own name. By the grace of God, I think I have done that.
“Sixteen years after, I am no longer known as Pete Edochie’s son, I am known as Yul Edochie. I have excelled and I’m still excelling in Nollywood.”

Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie, a native of Anambra State, is a prominent Nigerian Actor and the son of one of Nigeria’s finest actors and screen legends, Pete Edochie. Yul Edochie was born on the 7th of January 1982 and grew up in Lagos and Enugu States, respectively.
If you watch Nollywood home videos a lot (like me), then you surely cannot miss his voice. Deep, masculine, loud yet engaging, you cannot miss it, even if you try. Apart from his unique voice, the surname Edochie also rings a bell in the mind of every Nigerian, especially if you were born before the 2000s. Read further, and let me tell you why.
He began his education at Lillian’s Day Nursery School and Robinson Street Primary School from 1984 to 1992. He attended up to four Secondary schools between 1992 to 1998, all located in Enugu- Marist Brothers’ Juniorate, Uturu, University Secondary School, Enugu, Ecumenical Community Secondary School and then New Haven Boys Secondary School before graduating in 1998.
After his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of Port Harcourt to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Dramatic Arts. While at the University of Port Harcourt, he met his wife, May Aligwe and the two got married six years later. Yul Edochie got married to his heartthrob at the age of 22 years in 2004, and the marriage was blessed with three children, 3 boys and 1 girl.
He entered the Nollywood industry at the age of 23, starring in ‘The Acquires as his first movie, where he featured alongside Justus Esiri and Chidi Mokeme. He kept his acting and continued to act as a feature character in many movies till his big break came in 2007 when he acted with Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie, ‘Wind of Glory.’ Since his big break, he has continued to act in versatile roles in the industry, especially in home videos.
As someone who saw his father actively acting in movies, he understands the industry to a great extent and the type of talents Nigeria can offer to the world. He felt Nigeria was not doing enough in regard to the film industry, so he went ahead and created his film academy in 2015 in a bid to train the next generation of Nollywood actors and actresses.
In July 2017, Yul Edochie relayed to the public that he had every intention to run for office in the Anambra State Governorship election. He was the Governorship candidate for the Democratic People’s Congress Party and when the election took place in November 2017, he took the 19th position out of the 37 candidates that ran for the same office post. In 2018, the current governor of Anambra State, Dr Willie Obiano, appointed Yul Edochie as the senior special assistant to the governor of creative and entertainment media.
He is the last child of Mr Pete and Mrs Josephine Edochie and has five older siblings. He has other family members in the Nollywood industry and has continued showing passion for what he does. He currently lives in Lekki, Lagos, with his family. He attributes his inspiration to his father, Pete Edochie, and to other actors like Jim Iyke, Emeka Ike, Nonso Diobi, Charles Inojie, Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, and many others.
Yul Edochie Net Worth
As a prominent Nollywood Actor, Entrepreneur, Politician and Philanthropist, he has an estimated net worth of $1.8 million.
He is listed as one of Nollywood’s most expensive actors.
Yul Edochie Cars
As one of Nollywood’s finest, he does not shy away from acquiring luxury cars to his name. Some cars in his car collections are:
Lexus GX 460 SUV
His Lexus GX 460 is a full-size luxury SUV boasting potent off-roading and luxury features. On his Instagram page on Wednesday, the 39-year-old actor shared a lone picture of himself posing with his Lexus GX 460 SUV. While giving thanks to God for providing the ride after 16 years, he prayed that the next 16 years would be more fruitful.
“16yrs of hustle.
Everywhere good”
“The next 16yrs will surely be better. Insha Allah” — with Insha Allah meaning by God’s grace.

In the early 1980's, William Onyeabor was traveling the world. He was establishing his own record company, Wilfilms Limited, in his hometown of Enugu, Nigeria, and wanted to service every aspect of the record manufacturing business—from recording and record pressing, to printing and shrink-wrapping the covers. The “Wilfilms Laboratory” and “Wilfilms Music Complex” was to be the greatest manufacturing plant in all of West Africa, and he wanted to have the best equipment the market had to offer.
He visited the offices of RCA in New York City and their pressing plants in Minneapolis; and, as I’ve shared with you before, he went to Sweden to get the best pressing machines of the day. He also traveled to Italy where he purchased his amazing Elka synthesizers (as well as the best tractors available at the time for Katapult, his semolina factory—a man of many interests!). In Milan, he found the best supplier of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, which is used to make vinyl records. (In some inexplicable way during this period he also made the highly remarkable album Good Name!!!).
Whenever I speak with Mr. Onyeabor today, it seems like it’s these business ventures that pride him the most. He was a businessman more than anything, and the fact that he “did everything” within the business—not just for his own music but also for the other artists on his label—feels like the only thing from his past that he is willing to talk about (though he does so in such a vague way). Whenever I am with him, he will never speak about a particular song or album, but he will proudly point to the logo on the back of an album baring his own name, look at me and say, “I did everything, Eric. I even did the shrink-wrapping in my own factory.” Although he is one of the worlds' utmost music pioneers, it’s this incredible business mindset that always gets me.
It is also from these business ventures that he appears to have one of his life's greatest regrets. I don't know much about it, but what I've understood is that he is trying to find an old friend and business associate in Milan.
He can't remember the name of this person and he doesn't have any contact details for him, nor would he consider giving me much to work with—after all these years he still considers the matter "secret business information." All he was able to tell me is that the person was the Managing Director of the Ambrosio Plastic Company from 1984-1986 and that he was always very sincere and genuine. He told me this story:
"Once, he invited me to his home in the city of Milan, where he had beautiful living room, with a piano and a lovely white couch. He offered me to sit down and served me a glass wine, but I don't drink alcohol, so I had to decline. The Italians drink a lot of wine, but I don’t,” he said, and chuckled. "Years later something happened that I don't want to speak about… a business matter. I would like to amend it. I have to find him.”
For a man that doesn’t say much, he has told me this story many times, whether we are speaking over the phone or in the great living room in his palace. When I visited him this past February, he showed me an old delivery slip, xeroxed on pink onion skin paper, torn and dirty along the edges. He held onto the paper firmly, explaining, “This is a business document, I can not give this to you of course”. Always very secretive, I knew he would pull it away any second. I frantically began looking for a name or some kind of clue (speaking Italian, I figured I might see something he might not have detected earlier). In the top left corner was the sender’s address, printed with typewriter and stamped “1984”. Below was the Italian V.A.T. number, a very important clue, but far too long to try and memorize. “The Managing Director,” he said looking at me, pointing to a signature scribbled in faded black ink at the bottom of the paper. It was impossible to make out the name. “It is the Managing Director you have to find, Eric.”
He then pulled the paper away and put in on the big couch next to him. “Are they still in business do you think? Can you find him for me?” he asked.
A few hours later we said goodbye for the day and I jumped into the backseat of a cab to ride back to my hotel for the evening. I urgently pulled a small piece of paper out of my bag and scribbled down whatever I could remember before it was too late—knowing he would never show me that paper again.
As you might have heard, we have been organizing tribute concerts for him around the world: London, NYC, Los Angeles and a few summer festivals to date. It has been a beautiful thing—William Onyeabor’s music performed live for the first time ever, with some of the most incredible musians around. Everyone seems to be having the best of times—musicians and fans, alike!
After each show I call him and try to explain how the show went—he never played live himself, so I can tell it doesn’t really translate clearly to him, but he is always pleased to hear it's going well. Of course, I would like nothing more than if he would attend one of the shows, but each time I ask him to come over, he says that he can’t consider coming until “the Italian issue” is resolved. I know there are other issues as well, and that even if I were to find this man it would not guarantee his attendance, but I'm committed to giving it a shot.
I’m going to Milan next week to look for this man. If you know anything about this company, anyone that was working in this field around then or might have any leads that could help me along the way, please contact me at [email protected].
Wish me luck!
Much love,
Eric

Sunday, July 27, 2014: Viaggio in Italia, train from Roma-Milano
The plot thickens! Without even having arrived in Milan and the city where Mr. Onyeabor’s long lost friend is thought to live, tips from all over Italy have been pouring in—sending us in different directions across the country. We can not thank you enough for all the generous help we have received! Grazie mille!
Click through the gallery of the most helpful tips, so far.
Monday, July 28, 2014: Milano
Today we started the day by visiting one of the only clues Mr. Onyeabor was willing to give us when we last saw him in Nigeria—what is thought to be the former offices of “Ambrosio Plastics Company” located at Via Varese, 16 in Milan.
We were joined by Rivista Studio's Guia Cortassa, whose mother used to do business with the Ambrosio company in the '80s. After hanging around the building for a while, we eventually met a gentleman who let us into the courtyard. He has been living there for the last 30 years and explained that there was once an old printing lab in one of the basements—which could be the place we are looking for, but that doesn't sound completely right.
We've also got some new intel that the office was in fact outside Milan, in a suburb called Pioltello... so that's where we're headed next!

Monday Evening, July 28, 2014: Navigli, Milano
Breakthrough!
On a warm, humid day mirrored by heavy thunderstorms and empty, vacated streets, we spent the later half of the day in a weird limbo, as we anxiously waited for one of our leads to materialize. Marta Cagnolla, a journalist at Radio 24 and one of our agents in the city, had read the lovely piece Jovanotti wrote in Il Sole and jumped when she saw the name Ambrosio. Her father, Giorgio, pressed records for 60 years and once went into business with a former employee of Ambrosio’s. Together, Marta and Giorgio spent the weekend prior to my arrival trying to reach the family members of Giorgio’s former business associate, hoping that they might have some clues. It was our best lead to date, but left as in a nervous standstill throughout the day.
Then, later that same evening, we suddenly made another great break though.
Thanks to hours of hard detective work, Guia was able to find an advertisement by Ambrosio Plastic Company, published in an American(!) issue of Billboard in 1977. As you can see, the company’s address was listed as Pioltello—just like earlier intel had been indicating. Located just outside Milan and known for its many factories, we made plans to visit the town on Tuesday afternoon.
Writer’s note: When working on complex investigations of this kind, you always have to keep your eyes peeled for positive signs to lead you along the way. Here, the Billboard magazine was full of them: the issue did not just celebrate the great Italian company of Fonit-Cetra and the advent of “Hot New Salsa Music!”, but it was also published on our lead detective’s very own birthday—although a few years early, but still. Good vibes!
Tuesday July 29, 2014: Rain Delay
After learning that Ambrosio's main offices and factories were in fact in the Milanese suburb of Pioltello, we arranged to visit the town first thing yesterday—arrangements that immediately got put on hold due to heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. Italy is experiencing one of its rainiest and coldest summers ever, with many of the Italians complaining, "Piove, governo ladro!" (Meaning, "It's raining, and the thieves in the government aren't doing anything about it!")
Instead, we went to visit Il Sole 24 Ore, one of Italy's leading newspapers and radio stations, to talk about Willy and his time in the country. After meeting with Raffaele, photo editor at their award winning and widely appreciated cultural magazine, IL, we went upstairs to see our friend Marta Cagnola at Radio 24. Marta covers current affairs in music, film and the arts. Her pieces air daily after the morning news, and she does longer pieces on the weekend. As someone who is incredibly passionate about the project and has a direct line to 2 million listeners every day, we are very fortunate to have Marta on the case with us.
As mentioned yesterday, Marta’s father Giorgio has been in the music business since the '50s and pressed records for more than 60 years. When she showed him Jovanotti’s piece, he shouted out “Ambrosio!” and then, “No, non era a Milano… era in Pioltello!” In the '70s, Giorgio went into business with a man named Signore Berardinelli, who then was manager for the Ambrosio factory. In this new venture, they brought with them Berardinelli's secretary from Ambrosio. Signore Berardinelli passed away some years ago, but they were still in touch with his son Hugo. After trying to reach Hugo for a few days, they finally heard back from him and explained the situation to him. Did he have the number to the secretary or know how we could reach her?
Later that evening, Marta recorded a piece on William Onyeabor and his lost Italian friend for the news, to be aired Wednesday morning on Radio 24.
Wednesday July 30, 2014: Pioltello Pt. I
Wednesday's weather was on our side , so we finally ventured out to Pioltello. We boarded the train to Gabba, near the final stop on the line, and met up with Marco Carandente, who would drive us to Pioltello. Marco is a young, tech savy detective with a great won't-take-no-for-an-answer mindset—a characteristic you always look for in new agents. He'd been tipped off about the case by his brother, and spent the weekend searching through countless local databases, cold-calling more than fifty people in the Lombardy area. With a background in IT, Marco knows how to search for things, even when it seems like nothing is there.
As we drove out of the city, Marco explained that Pioltello is notoriously one of Milan's most crime-ridden areas, earning them the nickname ,"Il paese del coltello" (KNIFE TOWN!). Soon I understood why. Deserted, locked up and totally run down, yet still highly industrious in some weird way—Pioltello is the modern suburb equivalent of a spooky ghost town you would see in an old Western film. "Hold on to your stuff, okay?" Marco told me. "Oh... and be careful when taking photos."
We had three addresses that we wanted to investigate:
Via Brasile, 13: An unknown address, which kept coming up in Marco's database research.
Via San Francesco, 1: The address listed in the Ambrosio advert Guia found in Billboard magazine.
Via Varese 16: The address I first saw on Mr. Onyeabor's delivery slip in Nigeria, but which we hadn't been able to verify in Milan.
We started with Via San Francesco, but since GPS coordinates were often so inaccurate in these industrial parts of Italy, it took awhile to find it. We parked the car and began checking out different buildings—buzzing any buzzer that still seemed to work, knocking on whatever door we could see. No one was around.
Then we saw a few cars parked further down the road and headed that way. I couldn't tell what was inside the warehouse, but it seemed like the business was still running, at the very least—and we hoped someone was inside. Just as we were about to leave, a young man opened the door. We both knew that he was too young to remember anything from the '80s, but briefly explained the case and asked if could be of any help.
He walked us over to a neighboring warehouse, where an older man was working in a red jumpsuit. He introduced himself as Giuseppe. As we told our story and mentioned the word Ambrosio, he nodded his head and said "Si, si, mia zia lavorava li" (Yes, yes, my aunt used to work there). He looked us up and down again and asked one more time why we were inquiring about the company, then decided to give us her number.
We thanked him with a warm "Grazie mille!!" and ran back to the car. We needed to check out our other two addresses before everything would shut down for lunch time. If we got there too late, we would have to wait for a couple of hours for them to come back—the clock was ticking!
Friday August 1, 2014: Pioltello Pt. II
Just before lunch, we reached our second stop. Via Brasile 13 is located in what appears to be the center of Pioltello, with a few shops and residential houses nearby. Giuseppe explained to us that this was in fact the factory of Ambrosio Discografica—not Ambrosio Plastics Company, which he had never heard of. Although we hadn't been able to establish the relationship between the two companies yet, the former name kept appearing in Marco's databases, while the latter would never generate any search results. One theory we had was that the Italian name "Discografica" was its original and legal name, and "Plastics Company" was a named used for International marketing and customers outside of Italy. Both of us were convinced there was a connection between the two names; the chance of there being one company that presses vinyl records and another that supplies plastic for making vinyl records, both using the same family name and located in the same small town, seemed way too slim.
The center of Pioltello, with its various abandoned buildings, felt very much like its outskirts. At Via Brasile 13, the name of company last using the building had been crossed out with tape; the windows were locked up and a high fence protected the property. In an adjacent parking lot behind the fence, we saw a few parked cars and tried to figure out if there was anyone inside. Alas, no luck.
Marco suggested we look for an older person that could have been around in the '80s, so we walked down the street to a group of old men hanging out in front of a tabaccheria. Afraid to not scare them away, we approach them slowly.
"Uffa… Ambrosio erano tanti anni fa. Dopo erano Tailor ma né loro non ci sono più adesso…," one of the men complained. ("Ambrosio closed many years ago. Then there was a tailor at that address, but even they are closed now.") At the same time, two men who were on bicycles took off, while another one walked away. Fearing that all of them might try to ignore us, Marco asked a few more questions. A man in his late thirties stepped forward and offered to help out. His name is Lorenzo and he tells us that he has fond memories of when the factory was still active. "They used to give us that round center piece that's left from when cutting the vinyl and give to us kids to play with," he says, "Come on, I'll show you which one it is."
We walked back to number 13 and he explains that the place has been shut down for ages, the last owner leaving more than a decade ago. He didn't know anyone that used to work there, but explained that the main entrance was on the other side of the street—so maybe we should try there?
We rounded the the corner and were met by even more weeds and broken glass.
We asked a few more people if they have any information, but were almost completely ignored (the few responses we did get were merely to say they don't know anything).
A few minutes before the 12:30 lunch break and with no time to stick around, Marco suggests we try one more place.
Monday August 4, 2014: Pioltello Pt. III
At 12:30 we pull up in front of Commune di Pioltello’s offices. Built in 1980, this ambitious and futuristic community center is a round, cement building that more looks like a spaceship than anything else. Across the facade there are panoramic red windows—like a command center, and on each side there is a lower building with triangular stairs, kind of like wings. In one of the wings we find La Biblioteca Comunale di Pioltello, which to my great surpise is still open during the lunch hours. We make our way to the second floor, where we find a section on Pioltello and its history. As the sun starts peering through the clouds outside (after days of endless raining!), I can’t help but think how wonderful it is to be locked inside a long-forgotten library, in this long-forgotten town of suburban Italy.
“Here,” Marco says and hands me a few heavy binders, “Why don’t you start with these?” In front of us are two bookcases dedicated to the history of Pioltello. With some time to spare before the community office reopened after their lunch break, we started to go through all sorts of information that isn’t accessible online: local newspapers and books, company registries and annual reports of various clubs and organizations— all dated from some time before the digital revolution. “Here!” Marco shouted almost instantly. He read a report of companies in Pioltello from the '60s, and at the very top it read, “Ambrosio Discografica, Via Brasile, 13 (1961),” and then on the next line, “Ambrosio Plastic C., Via San Fencesco 1 (1966)." “Ha!” we both exclaimed, looking at each other in disbelief at uncovering this important piece of information.
So there were two companies!
Next to the two names was a short description for each of them: the first was in the record manufacturing business, while the second was in plastics and chemicals. Not being able to determine the relation between the two companies before, this felt like a good step forward.
We started digging through the rest of the material on the shelves, but after a few hours, could find nothing more to support our theory. We packed up and walked across the small square to the main office of the space ship community center. Inside we were dissapointed to find no continuation of the sci-fi vibes—just the waiting room of an Italian government building. Afraid that we would have to take a ticket and wait in the long line (The clock is ticking, no time to lose!), Marco elegantly slipped past the main service counters and found a general information desk in the back of the building. After explaining our quest to a young clerk and her supervisor, they give us approval to pass the security turnstile (somehow this place also manages to look like a subway station!) without waiting in line and go to Signore Corrado Boneschi on the second floor. They were convinced he might be able to help us.
Signore Boneschi waves us in to his office and politely invites us to sit down. His desk is immaculately organized with a pencil, a ruler and a stapler perfectly aligned on his right side, and a small stack of papers on his left. On a shelf next to him there are five stamps in a stamp holder. I was dying to take a photo of his office, but only managed to snap a few from my seated position (which, you can see below, doesn't capture what I am describing). As Marco explains the case, Sig. Boneschi starts typing quickly on his computer, grimacing each time he gets a new result. Marco, the IT expert on our team (who probably has searched the same databases Sig. Boneschi is now looking at), feeds him different suggestions as we go along. As the dialogue quickly picks up, and with the two of them speaking too fast for me to understand what they are saying, I begin to sense that we are onto something.
“Ecco!” Marco says and points to the screen, “this could be something.” He is pointing to the name “Avv. Cannada” and an address in Milano. Next to that I see “Nascita: 1926” —born in 1926. Marco explains we are looking in the registry of the Casa di Commercio, and in particular at documents detailing the municipal proceedings that took place when Ambrosio Discografica went bankrupt in 1989. “Abrosio’s lawyer at the time was a man named Salvatore Cannada Bartoli. He lives here in Milan!” he says eagerly. “Right… but doesn’t it say he was born in 1926?” I ask, trying not to get too excited. “Is he even still alive?” I wonder aloud, as I try to mentally calculate how old he must be now. “Well, the registry says he is… and it even says he is still working. Amazing! Come on, lets go!” Marco says, ready to continue the search.
We thank Sig. Boneschi for his help and turn to leave. “One sec,” he says, “Let me just show you guys this.” He brings up his phone and starts scrolling through the photos. “This is my sound system at home. I love music! I built this myself,” he says, looking at us hopefully. Then, snaps back into official government employee mode to say, “Oh and guys, you know I'm not usually supposed to show you all this stuff… like all that information in the computer. Lets just say you got it from someone else, okay?” he says and winks.
We ran out of the building and back to the car to begin the drive back to the city. It feels so great to finally be leaving Pioltello with a concrete lead.
Monday August 11, 2014: A New Lead!
Three weeks into our investigation in Italy and our hotline is busier than ever. Tips keep pouring in from all over the country! (Again, we cannot thank the kind people of Italy enough for their wonderful help in this important investigation.)
Here is a fresh tip from someone claiming to be a relative of the man we are looking for—wow!! Stay tuned as we investigate this exciting new lead!

Friday August 15, 2014: Standstill
Since the beginning of August, Italy has been on holiday. Everyone has gone away and every single office we visit is closed—nobody is even picking up the phone. A heavy sense of melancholy has swept over Milan. Streets are deserted and quiet. Many of the bars and shops are closed, with pulled down shutters covering the windows, and heavy locks over the doors. The rain keeps pouring down in what everyone is calling the coldest summer since the '60s. The few people we actually meet ask us what we are doing here. We can't help but do the same.
What's the next step? Is it time to pack up and leave? Maybe we can’t find this guy. Or maybe now is not just the right time? For days we have been tracing our last steps, feeling helpless. Have we missed anything? Could we have asked a few more questions? Should we try that person again? What about that woman we met last week, we haven’t heard back from her… Or that man at the cafe…
We know that patience is the key to this game, and if you don't have patience you will never succeed—especially in the case of William Onyeabor. Where would we be right now without patience? It took five years just for him to sign that damn contract. And that year of researching about him while trying to get all those interviews for the film documentary. All those trips back and forth to Nigeria, just to sit with him in his living room and watch religious television shows for hours and hours, day in and day out—what's a couple of weeks in Italy? There are worse places one could be stuck, right? We can’t give up now.
Towards the end of the afternoon, the sun peeked out for a few hours and we went for a stroll. We found a small park where a group of seniors were playing bocce. After all this rain, it's probably the first time in a while they have been able to play. Everyone was smiling, the sun light warm and soft. On one bench next to the field, an old men read the paper, while a younger man slept on another bench nearby. Next to him, a group of ladies were happily chatting. At the end of the park stood a small flower shop, with sun flowers on display in the front. The flowers were huge—almost twice the size of any sunflower I've ever seen in New York.
We continued down a small street from the corner of the park, and eventually turned onto Corso Buenos Aires—a wide boulevard that leads from Porta Venezia, one of the historical gates that surround Milan. We stopped into a small fruit and vegetable stand, one of the few places that is open, and bought some figs. The fruttivendolo is a kind, young man from India and together we spoke in Italian. How great it is to converse with someone from another country, in a language that also is foreign to them.
With so much beautiful fruit in season, it’s hard to just settle for figs. Late summer in Italy means wonderful fruit in abundance. A few blocks down, we saw a large sign for “Hotel Cristofo Colombo.” We can't help but love Milan in this moment—the city where fancy hotels are named after one of the great detectives of the world. Of course, it could also be after that Italian explorer from Genoa, not too far from here. But without doubt it must be after Lt. Columbo, the world famous detective of the Los Angeles Police Department. Surely, the Italians must have just changed his name a little to make it sound better in Italian.
We decided to go inside and check it out. It was almost 7pm and time for an aperitivo. Perhaps this isn't such a bad place after all.
Wednesday August 20, 2014: Life As a Detective Pt. II: Disguises and What To Wear
As we have officially reached a standstill in the case, we want to take a moment and respond to the many letters, postcards and telegrams that we’ve received in the last several weeks.
It has been wonderful to hear from so many of you around the world, with tips about new leads, theories about where the long lost friend might have gone, and questions about the detective business and what it is like being a private investigator today. To all of you who have inquired about new cases and asked us to take a case in your hometown: we are unfortunately fully committed to this case and we can not take on anything more in the foreseeable future. This also includes cold cases involving Presidents, Prime Ministers and Hollywood movie stars. Thus is specifically directed to all of you who keep asking us to take over the JFK investigation—this is something we have explained time and time again to our local news reporters in New York City—it’s just not happening. Sorry.
Many of you keep asking for advice on how to conduct a successful private investigation, so today we would like discuss the importance of appearance—choosing the right clothes, and, most importantly, why you must always prepare to have a few good disguises handy when you are on the road. Remember, private investigations can be a very dangerous business, so be cautious out there and take care of yourselves. And never forget the golden rule: Safety first!
As we’ve been scouring the streets of Milano and its far more dangerous suburbs—conducting tense interviews and sneaking into private properties, locking ourselves away in dusty old archives and basements of public libraries and community centers during the day, and rattling away on our keyboards as we explore the vast databases of the Italian intraweb at night—it’s not just our weathered Jake Gittes-style mindset that’s managed to get us out of the worst of jams, but also our perfectly balanced appearance, and chameleon like disguises.
If you ever find yourself working on a complex investigation like this, it's always good to have a few disguises handy for a day out in the field. This becomes even more important when working abroad, away from home and what you know. You should always prepare for being on the road longer than expected and bring enough supplies with you so you don't become limited in your appearance. This can mean bringing tools and equipment for quickly altering your facial appearance (hair dye, a razor and a pair of scissors usually does the trick) or packing a few extra clothes and accessories in your bag that can give multiple identities: hats, wigs, makeup, temporary tattoos, etc.
As a detective, you are always aware of the impression you are making on the people you come into contact with on the road. You may want to scope out an area prior to making contact with the suspects there—meaning, during the first visit you don’t want to be noticed and then in the following, you not only want to be noticed, you want to be remembered. Considering the nature of this case, where much of our work is door-to-door questioning of non-threatening potential leads, it is crucial to look as unassuming as possible.
If you are dressed too well people might mistake you for being very wealthy. Sometimes this is helpful—like when you need to gain entry into a fancy party to question a millionaire, but other times it sets you apart from everyone else in a negative way. When people assume you've got lots of money, a phenomenon happens where you are treated differently, which can lead you down false trails. We have all seen films where a couple bucks can buy a tip or two from someone on the street. However, you can never know the authenticity of that tip and many times it will put you on the wrong road. Unfortunately, this still happens to this day.
At the same time you don't want to look too shabby, either. No, it's important to find the right balance and when working on cases abroad that can be easier said than done. People often dress differently—have different trends or definitions of acceptable public dress—than where you live and blending in can sometimes be the biggest obstacle to moving the investigation forward.
For instance, it is common knowledge among seasoned investigators in the global detective industry today, that Italy is one of the trickiest places in the western world to blend in to. Traditionally, this is home to some of the most well-dressed people in the world. At the same time, it doesn't have the same diversity as our hometown of New York City—where you can go practically unnoticed donning a cat costume, a fresh mohawk or wearing barely anything at all. It seems that more than any other place we’ve ventured, Italians are able to spot foreigners from miles away.
When we were to investigate a highly critical lead last week, we found the solution to this problem in the legendary detective, Ture Sventon. Det. Sventon had an office in the center of Stockholm and solved cases all over the world during the later half of the 20th century—many times finding success through the use of ingenious disguise. He traveled to England and made his way through the heavy fog of London, dressed like a classic English gentleman. On another well-documented case that involved a missing camel, he went to Egypt on a flying carpet and dressed as a traditional herdsman. Although genetics bestowed him with the traditional Scandinavian look of blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, his disguises never gave him away.
In one legendary case, he investigated a series of burglaries taking place in a small town outside of Stockholm. Det. Sventon quickly understood that the perpetrator was the renown crook known as, “Wilhelm The Weasel.” He ingeniously decided to dress up like a child, so he could blend in with the kids playing on the street, where the burglaries were taking place. Wearing a classic baseball cap with a propeller on top, an oversized shirt and a pair of shorts—all in summer pastels—he looked like any ten year old kid. He was able to spy on one of The Weasel’s accomplishes as they were casing new houses to break into. A few days later, he was able to catch the crooks red-handed.

Yul Edochie is a prominent Nigerian actor, filmmaker, and politician, born on January 7, 1982, in Lagos, Nigeria. He hails from a family deeply rooted in the Nigerian entertainment industry, as the son of veteran actor Pete Edochie. Yul Edochie's acting career took off in the early 2000s, and he gained widespread recognition for his roles in Nollywood movies such as "Wind of Glory," "The Mirror," and "Pleasure and Crime." His charismatic performances and versatility have solidified his status as one of the most sought-after actors in the Nigerian film industry.
Yul Edochie has also made forays into politics, running for the position of Governor of Anambra State in 2017. While he did not emerge victorious, his political aspirations garnered significant attention and sparked discussions about the intersection of entertainment and governance in Nigeria. Edochie's bold move into politics showcased his commitment to contributing to societal change beyond the realm of entertainment.
The actor has been the talk of social media after he took colleague Judy Austin as a second wife and even had two children with her. Since then, social media users have registered their displeasure at the actor’s deeds claiming that he did not treat his first wife May Edochie well.

“How can a heart break twice?”
The local parish in Abba, St. Paul’s, is a big, angular building, pale yellow on the inside and unpainted on the outside. On the wide porch sat people on pews, listening to the Mass in progress, the burial service of Grace Ifeoma Adichie, the matriarch of the town’s most respected family. The compound was packed with vehicles, in rows allowing for easy exit, because down the road, a seven-minute walk from the church, is the Adichie family house, where, after Mass, all must proceed. Service ended and procession began. Behind the white coffin, before relatives in uniform ankara and a long, long line of priests in violet chasubles, walked the family’s youngest daughter, Ngozi, the woman the world came to know as Chimamanda. If you never knew her face, you would not now, not because of her white nose mask but because here she moves not as the most famous Nigerian alive but as a daughter of the soil, someone you saw every day. She walked with her elder sisters, Uche and Ijeoma, the trio in white lace and peach silk satin headbands, bearing bouquets of flowers, regal in mourning.
It was May, and mourning was all she had written about in the previous twelve months. Last June, their father, Professor James Nwoye Adichie, died, from complications from kidney failure, and Chimamanda, in the public stare, threw herself into a full rite of grief, writing about places in her that she had never written about, her hurt, her rage at the world. His stories of surviving the Biafran War inspired her monumental second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, the book that taught many young Nigerians about the tragedy and made her a household name. His death changed everything and struck in her an unfillable gash. They’d spoken the night before he died, and his last words to her were “Ka chi fo.” Good night. After he died, every Sunday, for months, their family got on Zoom to see each other, talk to each other, console each other. Then in March, on their father’s birthday, a day the family already anticipated in pain, their mother died, too.
This church was the third-to-last place that Grace Adichie stepped foot in. She returned from work in Awka, the Anambra State capital where she sat on the state education board, and came here for Stations of the Cross on her last Friday, and on Sunday again for Mass, and that evening she was unwell, and she was driven back to Awka, to a private hospital, and she spoke to her children, and the following day, her recovery took a dip and she was moved to a teaching hospital. “Do my children know that I am being transferred?” she asked, confused. She was 78.
Chimamanda and her sisters walked behind the ambulance, eyes stoic behind the masks. In many ways, this was the entire basis for Chimamanda’s world. She introduced her mother, in her essays and talks, as her first feminist influence, the woman who chaired a university committee and refused to swap “chairman” for “chairwoman” because both titles were the same job, the woman from whom she took her first fashion cues, including dressing superbly for church. She’d written about withdrawing from the performance that religion became, and falling back in love with the Church’s opulent traditions when Francis I became Pope. Treasuring family and being Catholic are the fabric of her first novel Purple Hibiscus, the 2003 book that marked a new turning point in African literature, a tender story of love and rediscovery that brought many Nigerians—including most of the younger writers who were at the burial to support her and were now watching the procession from the porch—the simple revelation that their modern lives can be shown in books, too; that they can tell their own stories with fidelity to specific experiences and it could come alive, too.
It felt, as Chimamanda walked, like more than just the end of a time for her. Her fiction, memoried by her father, lunged her into recognition, but it is her feminism, substantiated by her mother, that flung her voice further afield, enabling many women to reclaim their own places in the world. Losing both meant that half of her own world had been pulled from her feet. In her public acknowledgement of the news, she wrote: “How can a heart break twice?”
II.
“Do you know how many people died here?”
James and Grace Adichie lived most of their lives in Nsukka, a little hilly Igbo town with deep history, perched on the northernmost, cold tip of southeastern Nigeria. It is the site of the University of Nigeria, the country’s first indigenous and Africa’s first land-grant higher institution, opened a week after it gained independence in 1960. That year, James graduated top three in his class in Mathematics at the University College, Ibadan, then affiliated to the University of London, and returned home and met Grace, and began lecturing at the new school. Seven years later, after a mostly Igbo-led coup and a Northern countercoup and the pogrom of the Igbo in the north, the late military leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu declared the secession of Biafra, and, as nearby Enugu became the new capital city, the school in Nsukka was renamed the University of Biafra, and in its science labs, the ogbunigwe, the bomb that became the blockaded Biafrans’ greatest weapon, was manufactured by staff and students.
In July 1967, weeks into the war, Nsukka fell. Shortly after, Chukwuma “Kaduna” Nzeogwu, a leader of the first coup, was killed on the outskirts of the town. When Federal soldiers entered, they went straight to the campus, to the departments, the libraries, and burned books and notes. It was an equivalent of salting the earth, a deliberate destruction of ideas, of Igbo resistance. It lasted 30 months. An estimated three million people died, mostly children, mostly from hunger.
After the war ended in 1970, Igbo people who had bank accounts were given £20 irrespective of what they had in their accounts before the war; their property were seized in some parts of the country; there was a ban on imported clothing, on stockfish, trades they could potentially use to find their way back; and the government announced the indigenization decree which shifted corporate and industrial control from foreigners to Nigerians, creating new wealth that the robbed, broke Igbo could not partake in. The official and unofficial policies of repression made the Igbo disbelieve the post-war slogan of “No victor, no vanquished.” And so the idea lived, renewed, burning. As people who’d fled back home for safety left again, academics and artists and thinkers, the survivors, gathered again in Nsukka.
It was a second phase of creativity in the campus, a golden one, with great innovators in the arts and sciences, from Chinua Achebe to El Anatsui to Alexander Animalu, and birthing such definitive movements in African arts like the Nsukka Group. Nsukka, once again, was emblematic of an Igbo dream of Nigeria: a place of quality and equality and fairness.
It was at this time that James, who returned to the country just before the war and worked in the Biafran Manpower Directorate, resumed teaching in the campus. Seven years after the war, in 1977, James and Grace had their last daughter, Ngozi, in Enugu. Things moved well for the family. Grace rose to become the university’s first female registrar, and James, the first Nigerian to get both a Ph.D. and professorship in statistics, became Deputy Vice Chancellor, and later helped establish the National Centre for Mathematics in Abuja. His title was “Odelu-Ora Abba”: One Who Writes for Our Community. James was acquainted with Achebe, who lived on campus for some time, and when the novelist left, James was given his former home.
Ngozi grew up a boisterous girl, popular with mates, brilliant in class, and earmarked to study Medicine. But she preferred stories. She was reading Enid Blyton novels and began making up stories in which her characters had blue eyes like the white people she saw in books. It was not until she read Things Fall Apart that she knew that people like her, African and Black, could exist in fiction. She read Weep Not, Child and Joys of Motherhood and swept through the African Writers Series. She was a romantic and spent hours in Mills & Boon titles.
By 13, she had a habit of analyzing her father’s stories, what he said about Biafra. James’ brother, Michael, fought in the 21st battalion of the Biafran Army, and his brother-in-law, Cyprian Odigwe, fought with the Biafran Commandos. His father-in-law, Aro-Nweke Felix Odigwe, whom he never met, died in the war. As did his own father. After the war, when people could move about again, James traveled to Nteje, where there was a refugee camp, to find his father’s body. The officials looked at him like he was mad. “Do you know how many people died here?” they told him. They pointed at the mass grave: “Somewhere there, that’s where we buried the people.” James wept afresh, and then he, a very practical man, took sand from the mass grave and brought it home to Abba. It was not enough to fill the hole in his heart and, occasionally, he let out memories, and Ngozi would be there, at his feet, listening, asking questions.
In Abba, she saw buildings bullet-ridden from the war; when she played with other children, they sometimes came across rusty pieces of ammunition. People spoke about loved ones who never made it back from the North. Even in her distance from the war, its memory hung over her. “Agha ajoka,” James would say after each story. War is very ugly. But, he would also add, what mattered was not what they suffered but that they survived.
Ngozi was 20 when she published her first attempt at a book in 1997, a poetry collection titled Decisions. It was juvenilia, prosaic verses on politics, religion, and love:
Like a child at a den
Owned by a starved lion,
Or a thief caught
In petty pilfery,
At a standstill
My country.
The next year, she wrote a play, For Love of Biafra, in which the heroine Adaobi, in love and in the pressure of war, amplifies her strong will. She was retracing stories she heard from her father, how they survived, what they learned.
In 1998, a year into her Medicine and Pharmacy degree in Nsukka, she left for the U.S., to study Communications and Political Science at Eastern Connecticut State University. She lived with her elder sister, babysitting her nephew in the day and writing at night. She wrote her first short stories with her baptismal name, Amanda. Then she attempted a novel. It was a cloying, overwritten thing and she hid it away. Then came homesickness, a churning for the familiar. She decided to try her hand at another novel.
She was 24 when she began Purple Hibiscus, writing from the yearning in her heart. It was a story about a family ruled by an iron-fisted patriarch, Eugene Achike, a newspaper publisher and staunch opponent of the military government who in public is a philanthropist, a model in their Catholic community, but at home is an abuser, a religious fundamentalist who discards his own father for being a Traditionalist. The story is told by his daughter, Kambili, a shy girl growing into her own, observing her mother, Beatrice, and her brother, Jaja, and falling in love with a priest, Father Amadi. The family lived in the city of her birth, Enugu, but their awakening would happen in Nsukka, where the narrator’s aunt, Ifeoma, is a lecturer and her family, daughter Amaka and sons Obiora and Chima, even without a living father, is joyful. The prose was poetic, making myth out of the characters’ surroundings. If you have ever been to Nsukka, you might feel an envelope of magic in the trees, the market, the school. You might sense a permeation by a livewire history. She soaked her first novel in all of these.
“Someone whose voice seemed molded just for us”
It is now well known that the pungence of Purple Hibiscus struggled to attract literary agents. It was the turn of the millennium and, in American and British publishing, the trendy non-White writers were Indian, not African, and the other hot books by writers living across cultures were set where they lived, not where they came from. This 25-year-old from Nigeria and her manuscript were none of these. Even though she was influenced by the great Achebe in philosophy, her prose was different, her storytelling more detailed, the hand of a writer wizened with style, who had enough audacity to sprinkle an African language, Igbo, in her dialogue.
One agent asked her to use the “African material” as background for a continued story set in America. Another scrawled a giant “NO” on her query letter and sent it back. Finally, Djana Pearson Morris, an indie agent in Washinton, D.C., wrote back: I am willing to take a chance on you.
One evening, as Ngozi lay in her brother’s guest room in London, an idea came to her, an Africanisation of her English name Amanda to Chimamanda, Igbo for My God Will Not Fail. She shared the long name with her agent: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
It was the summer of 2002 when Antonia Fusco, an editor at the indie press Algonquin Books, received the manuscript. Morris’ pitch was honest: the book, she wrote, was not a commercial novel, but it was one of the best first novels she’d read.
“The pitch was the novel,” Fusco, who left publishing and now works in the New York City education system, remembered. “From the very first page, it was clear that you were in the hands of a sensitive and graceful writer, one who, with very few words, created a narrative intimacy between the reader and her characters. All my colleagues unanimously agreed at our editorial meeting: We had to acquire this wonderful novel by this new talent.”
Elizabeth Scharlatt, then the publisher at Algonquin Books, also recounted details to me. “I remember Chimamanda coming to the office in New York. She seemed nervous, a little shy—or was it wary? I have no idea if the book had been turned down by other houses before she came to us, but we didn’t hesitate.”
Fusco told me that Adichie being African was no problem. “We thought this was what made this first novel unique. What many publishers would see as a challenge, we saw as an asset.”
Scharlatt reflected on the book’s chances. “As a small indie press, Algonquin was not driven by market trends or shareholder pressures,” she said. “We were committed to launching a debut novel every season. And because our list was small, we were able to put all our muscle into promoting Purple Hibiscus, and Chimamanda. Publishing it might’ve been something of a risk at the time—launching any new writer is a risk—but we were drawn to her writing and her story. I sometimes wonder if Purple Hibiscus might’ve gotten lost on a large list; at Algonquin, it was our sole debut novel for the Fall 2003 season.”
The Algonquin Books team was experienced in marketing debut novels. “The strategy,” Fusco said, “was to get word-of-mouth support among booksellers and media through advance reading copies, with personal calls from our sales and marketing directors who were equally enamored of this novel. We also sent her on a tour, as we discovered that she had a gift for public speaking even back then.”
Algonquin’s then publicity director, Michael Taekens, was adept at getting review attention, and soon the press secured a crucial endorsement: Jason Cowley, a Booker Prize judge the year Arundhati Roy won, wrote an advance blurb calling Purple Hibiscus “the best debut novel I have read since Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things.” It was re-ignition, and only a day after Algonquin sent the manuscript to U.K. publishers, Fourth Estate made a pre-emptive offer.
The editor who made the offer was Mitzi Angel, now the publisher at Farrar, Straus and Giroux. At the time, Angel had only acquired one or two books for Fourth Estate, and she saw a bound galley of Purple Hibiscus in their London offices. “I felt the power of that first sentence,” Angel told me: “Things started to fall apart—possibly a nod to Chinua Achebe.”
In 2004, Purple Hibiscus came out in the U.K. and made the Booker Prize longlist. But it was its inclusion in the Orange Prize shortlist that turned heads. “Debut novel from Nigeria storms Orange shortlist,” ran the headline by The Guardian, which had not even then reviewed the novel:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has fought her way to the final heat of the £30,000 Orange award, defeating more than a dozen highly tipped and experienced authors. . . the most formidable shortlist of any book contest this year—a list stronger in depth than at the final stage of either the Booker or Whitbread prizes.
“I was very pleased but I was not surprised,” Fusco told me. The immediate U.K. success “helped us to build momentum in the U.S.” Later, Purple Hibiscus would win the Commonwealth Prize for Best First Book. Scharlatt told me that it was translated in more than 40 countries, including Korea and Japan. “Her vividly drawn characters,” Scharlatt said, “transcended ‘place.’”
Back home in Nigeria, there was palpable excitement. Here was a book that stunned on a visual level, with sensory detail like nothing before it. Kachifo Limited launched its Farafina imprint with the Nigerian edition of the novel, and organized a reading, driven by the curator Ebun Feludu. The event’s success has been credited with spurring the N.L.N.G.’s oil-moneyed entrance into Nigerian literature and sciences.
The editor Anwuli Ojogwu, who proofread Purple Hibiscus as an intern at Kachifo, remembered going on book tours with Chimamanda when Half of a Yellow Sun came out in the country. “At this particular event, at Jazzhole in Lagos, after a reading, a journalist asked her, ‘Why do you look so feminine?’ I remember she laughed and I think asked why not. Then, journalists looked at her curiously. A young, beautiful and talented woman, who always looked delicate, well dressed and graceful. And I don’t think they could reconcile her feminine image with literature where being radical is synonymous with the writer-artist. But since then she has gone ahead to express her interest in fashion and redefined the feminine image in the literary scene.”
There was also, in her Nigerian reception, an unspoken age factor. Confidence was associated with older writers. Nigerians had known Flora Nwapa and Buchi Emecheta, but Nwapa and Emecheta were mother figures, and Chimamanda was young, 26, and exploring a subject Emecheta explored: marital abuse. From the page, the book had been embraced, but now in person, she was intriguing.
With its flow, accessible language, and dramatic story, Purple Hibiscus moved onto secondary school reading lists, but would not really take off in universities until her bigger novels. And it was also being heavily pirated.
Ojogwu, now her Nigerian publisher at Narrative Landscape Press, told me, “When Half of a Yellow Sun was released, we made good record sales, but books were not exactly flying off the shelf. She wasn’t filling the halls for readings—they were not full to capacity until Americanah. Now her work sells more as a collectible, as a bundle, than as single copies. She has come a long way and embedded herself solidly in our cultural imprint.”
A few more years in America, a Hodder Fellowship at Princeton and a MacArthur “Genius” Grant later, Chimamanda, after Half of a Yellow Sun, collected her stories, spread in magazines, into The Thing Around Your Neck, which served as a bridge to an era to come, the turn in tone and subject that Americanah was. Americanah won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction in 2014, but it was the year it came out, 2013, that recalibrated her career: it took the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize, shot up the charts when it was named a New York Times Top 10 Book of the Year, and then Beyonce released “***Flawless,” sampling her “We Should All Be Feminists” TEDx Talk from 2012.
Before Chimamanda, being featured by Beyonce would have been, for an intellectual, the Everest of popular accomplishment. But grounded by her solid body of work, she made it a stepping stone, into a wider audience beyond book readers.
There is a categorizable way to look at her storied rise. Her first iteration was the bright teenager who produced a play and a poetry collection, both juvenilia, still searching for her footing but already ambitious in her worldview. The second was the successful storyteller with a new name, who in her 20s wrote two classics and was recognized by Chinua Achebe as one that “came fully made.” The third, born in her “The Danger of a Single Story” TEDx Talk in 2009, was the multimedia signifier, venturing into nonfiction, suffusing logic with storytelling, and utilizing the ubiquity of video, and image, to reframe conventions. The fourth was the icon, introduced to a broader audience by the Beyonce feature and enthusiastically received in American liberal media, fashion, and celebrity circles, becoming a commencement speech fixture in Ivy League colleges, becoming the face of British brand Boots No. 7, her words worn on runways, recited for women’s empowerment campaigns, referenced in movies. We are witnessing the fifth, the cultural connector who belongs to literature only in job description, who has shared stages with Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Angela Merkel, who became the first woman on the cover of PORT and joined 14 other women on the September cover of British Vogue guest-edited by Meghan Markle, who in Lagos hosted Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Nigerian fashion community and Lupita Nyong’o for the film elite.
Self-reinvention is her turf. Her transition from bestselling author to pop culture icon was, in her geographical and generational milieus, uncharted territory. She is a writer but her words, already translated into 30 languages, charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 years before Nigeria’s Afropop acts. The Half of a Yellow Sun film from 2013, an international high for Nollywood, was hotly anticipated on the strength of her name recognition. She is not a video artist but hers—the ankara, the hair, the telegenic grace and quiet authority—is one of the most distinct, and duplicated, images out there. Not since the trio of Chinua Achebe, Fela Kuti, and Wole Soyinka has a Nigerian artist commanded such attention. She inherited a male-centric legacy, and raised the bar. The drawback is that talk of her cultural status surpassed talk of her literary artistry.
Yet none of this would be possible were she not a detailed storyteller, a genius of long fiction. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novels are possible not simply because she is a remarkable crafter of sentences but because those sentences have a beating heart full of humanity, her characters demonstrating as much logic as emotions to feel like real people. It is a rare combination, the ability to understand people and situations, to bring them all into the imagined, and when the story goes grave, to soften it with humour.
Arinze Ifeakandu, a graduate of her workshop whose story collection God’s Children Are Little Broken Things comes out next year, first read Purple Hibiscus as a teenager. “I’d been imitating, first, Achebe, then Buchi Emecheta, but immediately replaced them with this new rhythm,” he told me of Adichie’s influence on his work. “We’d found someone whose voice seemed molded just for us. I wanted to write something worth claiming.”
Because of Purple Hibiscus, Ifeakandu went to university in Nsukka, where he, like many younger writers, now sets some of his fiction. “Adichie made Nsukka, a place already steeped in history and legend, into a lore. Walking on campus with friends, we would come upon a street and say, ‘This street is in Purple Hibiscus!’”
He sees Adichie’s Nsukka as a microcosm of Nigeria. “Nsukka is ideal, a place of safety and spiritual resistance—from Kambili to Ugwu, to Ifemelu and Obinze, in Nsukka everyone seems freer and in love. Outside Nsukka, the disruption happens: a violent father descends, war becomes heated, people grow up and life becomes all too real. Nsukka itself is at risk of having its serenity destroyed, either by invading federal forces or by the effects of corruption. There is pre-war and wartime Nsukka of the ‘60s with its sweeping optimism and faith—the conversations in Odenigbo’s living room, the audacious energy of a new nation’s upper middle-class, their idealism—and there is Military Rule Nsukka of the ‘80s and ‘90s where the conversations have become practical: the country did not live up to expectations. The sheer range of that body of work. Adichie has given us something invaluable in addition to great art: she has told the story of our country in three timeless novels.”
III.
“Grief is this”
It is a Friday in February, little over two months before her mother’s burial, when I arrive at Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s house in Lekki, Lagos. The house is big and square and the sitting-room is spacious, the furnishing homely, as if chosen to house memories. A TV shelf covers a wall, with books, framed photos, and a replica of a Benin bronze head. On another wall, a work by the rising Nigerian artist Marcellina Akpojotor. On the table, a small pile of big books: Cartas Apasionadas’ The Letters of Frida Khalo, a book on the painter Obiora Udechukwu, Carrie Mae Weems’ The Kitchen Table Series, and the Obamas’ memoirs, Becoming and A Promised Land.
Last year, Half of a Yellow Sun was named the Women’s Prize’s “Best of the Best” in the award’s 25th year; it previously received a version of the honour in 2015, as the best winner of the prize’s second decade. She might not be hung up on prizes but this one has been essential in her ascent. Winning it as a 29-year-old in 2007, when it was the Orange Broadband Prize, jolted her career, and her other novels have been shortlisted for it. For weeks now, she has been on Instagram, on a read along with her one million followers, answering questions 15 years after the book came out.
When Chimamanda, rocking a black halo of hair, descends the stairs with her trademark almond-eyed, full-teeth smile, her presence fills the room. She is wearing the green T-shirt she designed herself; it says Omekannia, Igbo for Father’s Daughter. She is still in mourning, eight months after her father’s death.
“June 10,” she says the date, gazing upwards. It is pain and she is dealing with pain the way we all tend to do: turn away. “Pre-June 10, I was different,” she tells me. She is still unaccepting, still resistant. “Yesterday was a very tough day for us, my brother, my mom,” she sighs. “Grief is this: some days you’re fine and other days you wake up and you can’t stop crying.”
Last year, she wrote a long essay mourning him in The New Yorker, and this year it came out as a chapbook, Notes on Grief. “Grief is a cruel kind of education,” she writes in it. “You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language.” She adds, “There is value in that Igbo way, that African way, of grappling with grief, the performative, expressive outward mourning, where you take every call and you tell and retell the story of what happened.” In Half of a Yellow Sun, she wrote: “Grief was the celebration of love, those who could feel real grief were lucky to have loved.”
She usually told people in mourning to take refuge in memories, and she might be doing so now: remembering her father playing sudoku, visiting her in the U.S. and always turning off the radio. He’d shown her many things: that learning never ends, and that she, as a woman, did not need the approval of men. He affirmed her, called her “Ome Ife Ukwu,” Doer of Great Things; “Nwoke neli,” Equivalent of Many Men; “Ogbata Ogu Ebie,” The One Whose Arrival Ends the Battle. He was also a staunch defender of his wife, Grace, so that Chimamanda nicknamed him D.O.S.: Defender of Spouse. “How can?” Grace is said to have asked, stunned, when she learned of her husband’s passing: “But he didn’t tell me anything.” They were that close.
The Adichie family are not mourning only their patriarch, though. Three months before his passing, they lost Chimamanda’s favourite aunt, her mother’s younger sister Caroline, to brain aneurysm. And then a month after his passing, his only sister, Rebecca, followed, in the same hospital as her brother.
One immediate result of her loss is that she is opening up more. She has previously admitted to living with depression, and last year, she wrote about suffering concussion, having slipped and fallen in her home. This year, she stunned Nigerians by sharing that the name “Chimamanda” was invented by her. Since publishing “Zikora” months ago, a short story on Amazon Prime in which a woman goes through childbirth, she might have felt a little eased. She is writing a few other pieces at the moment, on a range of subjects: another story for an Amazon Prime speculative fiction anthology, set in a world ruled by The Matriarchy, and an essay on her personal experience of gender. She is also working on CNA4, that fourth novel, and the process is one she is getting into full rhythm for. It is now eight years since Americanah came out; there were seven years between it and Half of a Yellow Sun, so she is on track, even if that’s not what her fans want to hear.
Each of her books had a secondary reason to exist. She wrote Purple Hibiscus to dispel the ghost of that first “not very good” novel manuscript; The Thing Around Your Neck because her publisher needed to collect her stories; and Americanah because she was tired of being a dutiful daughter of literature. But Half of a Yellow Sun was different. It called her from the moment she was able to think as an adult; it called her and drained her. It imbued her with an even greater hunger for her history, and she enrolled for an M.A. in African Studies at Yale, where professors discussed her book and she sat in the classes, weirded out, pretending she didn’t write it.
Her chef, G., returns, a young man in white, and Chimamanda lifts her glass, “Are you sure you don’t want orange juice?” I accept this time. She keeps her glass on the table behind the long cushion she’s reclining on. She says, “First, tell me about yourself.” It is what she does: interview her interviewers. “It’s your story that’s interesting,” she says with a comic roll of eyes, the trolling humour of someone who has been asked too many silly interview questions in her life and is now taking precaution. I laugh, and I tell her how, in June 2012, in my second year as an undergrad in Nsukka, I began reading Half of a Yellow Sun and midway through it, I closed the book and walked around Mbanefo Hostel and realized that my life had changed, that I would ditch my dream of becoming a history professor and want to write seriously. (I don’t tell her that in secondary school, a junior gave me a copy of Purple Hibiscus and I rejected it because I didn’t like the cover.) “This story,” she says, “I find it very moving, really.”
A young woman comes in with a child, and Chimamanda beams. She calls into the house, for her daughter: “Come say hello to Aunty!” She opens her hands for the boy, her nephew: “Nna m. Hey Baby, nna m, bianu.” A peck: Mwaa! Her daughter shows up, lighter-skinned, bouncy and chubby cheeked, with a self-assuredness I imagine her mother might have had even at five. (She once covered her mother’s eyes as she watched a video of her grandfather. “I don’t want you to watch the video of Grandpa because I don’t want you to cry,” she told her.)
Chimamanda kisses her daughter’s cheek. “This,” she holds her, eyes closed as she inhales, “is the love of my life.”
“My father adored his father. This father he adored died in Biafra”
Since she finished the book sixteen years ago, Chimamanda hasn’t read Half of a Yellow Sun from beginning to end; she doesn’t read her work once published. “I read the bits that I have to read in public,” she tells me. “But so much time has passed. Reading it this period was actually—it was a very strange experience. I don’t know, it made me—there’s a part I’ll get to and I’ll be like, ehen, so I wrote this?” She laughs.
And yet every time she opens her work, in public or in private, there is a version of her that is intensely self-critical. With Half of a Yellow Sun, “There are parts I’ll read and I’ll be, like, hmmm, I’ll do it differently today. There are passages I’ll see and I’ll think, oh, no, this is a disaster, I do not like these sentences, I would totally redo them. Then there are parts of the book, yes, I wrote them, but that I feel deeply moved by.”
She has said it over the years and she tells me the same now: it was a deeply, deeply emotional book to write. Now that her father is gone, reading it, and remembering which parts came from his stories, is poignant enough to make her cry.
“It’s so funny what that book has become,” she breathes, “because I remember writing it and I remember my dear Binyavanga telling me”—she breaks off, a look of anticipation, a pointing finger—“did you ever meet Binyavanga?” I tell her I only once spoke with him on the phone, forgetting that I edited two of his essays. She shakes her head slowly: “You know, the world lost a beautiful man, a first-rate brilliant thinker and writer, we lost, ah,” she sighs, finally giving in to the relived pain in her voice.
They met in the early years of the Internet, in an email group for writers, where an American directed her to “the other African,” and they got talking and found a shared love of Camara Laye’s The Dark Child and a Pan-African understanding of arts and politics. They met in person for the first time in 2002, at the Caine Prize ceremony in London, where they were both shortlisted and Binyavanga won. The following year, he used his prize money to fund the Kenya-based organisation Kwani?, becoming its founding editor and, long after he left the role, a singularly galvanizing presence in the continental scene.
Remembrance, for Chimamanda, is about the joyous. But Binyavanga’s death, in 2019, after a series of strokes, pains her afresh, and it feels, for a moment, as if the great Kenyan writer were in the sitting-room, hair multicoloured, shirt a burnished indigo, skirt a bright pink, filling the rest of the couch, needling her with arguments. It feels as if, in the space of her sigh, he lives again. I feel that, in Binyavanga, she lost not only a beloved friend but something of a moral partner, a divergent but complementary force. Not many people get to have that.
“I remember Binyavanga saying to me, with just shock and—he said, ‘How can you write a novel about the Biafran War?’ I said, ‘Well, I am.’ Then I remember he said, ‘But will it be balanced?’ I said literature—literature has no business being ‘balanced.’ If you want to ask me if it would be truthful, will it be emotionally truthful—but ‘balance’? And Binyavanga—who again is a person of such great wisdom—even when we disagree, I listen to Binyavanga.”
Even though she responded strongly in defence of her need to write the story, she had misgivings, uncertainty in how it would be received. When its Nigerian edition came out in 2007, her publisher, Muhtar Bakare (“God bless him”), told her, “You have to be prepared for anything.” It was important to Bakare that Nigerians told the stories of their history, but he needed to prepare her.
“To say that I had misgivings is not to say that I ever thought about not writing the book,” Chimamanda tells me. “Ever. This is something that I’ve carried in my soul since I was, I don’t know, 14 years old. I can’t intellectualize it. A lot of these conversations I have, I have to make up things. I cannot tell you why. I don’t know why. All I can tell you is for as long as I became a thinker in a grownup way, which was around 13 because I was reading books I had no business reading, I’ve been taken by our history. I’ve just always been that child who looked back, because I wanted to understand what was behind us.”
Her sense of responsibility came not from inherited trauma but from the constancy of memory. “My father could tell you 20 stories about our grandfather, who we never met. My father adored his father. This father he adored died in Biafra. It’s not just that he died, it’s that he died and my father couldn’t go to bury him. It’s that he died and my father does not know where exactly he was buried.”
This bit of family history inspired a scene in the book: When Odenigbo hears that Mama has died, he drives frantically in the rain to find her body and is stopped by soldiers. He gets home, to Olanna, and begins to cry.
“Where were you in 1967?”
Chimamanda’s first attempt at telling the story of Biafra was not on the grand scope of a novel but in the microcosm of a short story, also entitled “Half of a Yellow Sun.” It is told by a young woman, studying in Nsukka when the war begins, who returns home and watches her family struggle to hold itself together through devastating loss. A month before Purple Hibiscus was published, that short story won the David T.K. Wong Prize for Short Fiction. At the American award event, a professor, Obi Iwuanyanwu, said: “Given my knowledge of similar astounding young writers in history, I would make bold to describe her as a genius. I believe that Chimamanda, who was born seven years after Biafra, is destined to write the Great Biafran Novel.” He could not have imagined that she already was.
That short story—and two others, “That Harmattan Morning,” a 2002 BBC Short Story Competition winner, and “Ghosts,” a highlight in The Thing Around Your Neck—helped her test the enervating emotions that would envelope her writing the novel. It removed most of the anger she felt and taught her that, in fiction, distance is key.
She went to older people and asked them, “Where were you in 1967?” and her imagination did the rest. She looked at photographs from the war as she formed the skeleton of the narrative. Her uncles’ stories fed her description of the atmosphere at the front, but to recreate the mood of Biafra’s middleclass, where most of the primary and secondary characters are drawn from, she relied on books, chiefly the novels Chukwuemeka Ike’s Sunset at Dawn and Flora Nwapa’s Never Again.
It was Ph.D.-level research. The first draft was full of political events, recreating the grand climate of international diplomacy. But she knew how easily politics could overwhelm the human story, and her aim was to capture emotional truth: a thing rarely pre-known except when felt. So she pruned it, sieved it, cutting and re-writing, through four years and seven drafts, until it became the character-driven story that it is.
Chimamanda’s father told her that after the war, when he returned to his house in Nsukka, he found his books and shelves burned, piled in the front yard where he used to grow roses, and that his colleagues in the U.S. sent him books. She weaved this into the end of the novel, when Odenigbo and Olanna return to their house in Nsukka to see that their books have been burned and Odenigbo receives books with a note: For a war-robbed colleague from fellow admirers of David Blackwell in the brotherhood of mathematicians.
Placing Olanna and Odenigbo’s love story—and Richard and Kainene’s, too—at the center of the book was also a way to maintain its emotional beats, for readers to come away from it thinking not simply of the carnage of war but in larger terms of what it means to be human.
She based her central character, the dedicated Ugwu (“My name is not Sah. Call me Odenigbo”—“Yes, sah—Odenigbo”), on her grandparents’ help, a young man named Mellitus, but enriched his 13-year-old life with war-time teenage stories from her cousin Paulinus Ofili, who died a year before the book came out. She based Okeoma on the poet Christopher Okigbo, who enlisted in the Biafran Army and died in the war, and his collection Labyrinths. Alexander Madiebo’s memoir The Nigerian Revolution and the Biafran War informed the character of Colonel Madu.
The twins, Olanna and Kainene, are different sides of her, the gentility and the spikiness. Olanna’s former lover, Mohammed (“his tall, slim body and tapering fingers spoke of fragility, tenderness”), is a variation on the character in her play For Love of Biafra. In the play, Mohammed is in England while the war rages, and after Biafra surrenders, the heroine Adaobi tells him, “I am a Biafran first, a Biafran last, a Biafran always, don’t ever make the mistake of calling me a Nigerian again.” She used Richard—kind, sexually deficient Richard, a white male writer—to subvert the West’s entitlement to telling African stories.
The characters jump out, almost real. In a parallel world, Odenigbo might be living his vibrant Mathematician life in a university, a man “who trusted the eccentricity that was his personality,” “not particularly attractive but who would draw the most attention in a room full of attractive men.” The women are clear-headed. Olanna “wished she were fluent in Hausa and Yoruba. . . something she would gladly exchange her French and Latin for.” Kainene knew right away that “It’s the oil. . . They can’t let us go easily with all that oil.” And because Chimamanda wanted to be even realer, she wrote a scene where Ugwu, conscripted, joins in a gang rape.
To suit the story, she re-arranged things: the distance between towns, the chronology of conquered cities, and she put a beach in Port Harcourt and a train station in Nsukka. But every atrocity in the book did happen in Biafra, and it was overwhelming for her, knowing she did not have to make those parts up.
She cried, took walks, licked chocolates. She left Baltimore, where she was studying for an M.F.A. at Johns Hopkins, and wrote sections in Nigeria.
Not having experienced the war gave her distance, which would not have been creatively possible for someone who had seen the butchery firsthand. Yet to ascertain that she told their story with dignity and truth, she wanted two people from the war generation to read the book: her father and Achebe. But she was aware, too, that the generation that experiences trauma is barely the one that talks about it, that it is usually the people coming behind, and so she knew that she was really writing for her generation and those after.
“We must remember. We cannot forget. We must remember”
Half of a Yellow Sun shows the failed making of the Nigerian state. In the book’s lifetime, it has, in a country where history repeats itself, mirrored the resurgence of secessionist movements. In 1999, an Igbo lawyer, Ralph Uwazuruike, woke the ghost of Biafra when he formed the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (M.A.S.S.O.B.), looping Nigeria’s southeast into a frenzy. In the promise of a new state, fathers and sons left their shops mid-day to join great marches in Igbo cities, and on the days M.A.S.S.O.B. marched, cities shut down.
Half of a Yellow Sun was published in 2006. Three years later, Nigeria removed history from school curricula. Since M.A.S.S.O.B., new groups—the Biafran Zionist Movement (B.Z.M.), the Biafra National Youth League (B.N.Y.L.), and, most notably, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (I.P.O.B.), led by Nnamdi Kanu, a political economist who attended Nsukka—have since come up.
The government of Muhammadu Buhari, a retired general who fought in the war on the Federal side and later became military head of state, blocked the I.P.O.B.’s popular Radio Biafra, turning a fringe agitation into a mainstream movement, and more Igbo people embraced it. So began the heavy military presence in the southeast. This was 2015, and it was in this context that Chimamanda received her first Women’s Prize “Best of the Best” win for Half of a Yellow Sun. It was also the year her father was kidnapped, an 80-year-old man thrown into a car boot and held for three days, siphoning her faith in Nigeria.
Chimamanda has just told me about her father not finding her grandfather’s corpse when I begin to unroll this context. I ask her if, in light of his passing, she sees the leaving of the survivors of the war—“a generation at dusk,” as she described them in her account of his kidnap—as an irrecoverable loss of cultural memory. What urgency does she feel it has left the younger generation, the many millennials and Gen Z people for whom her novel was their first storified awareness of the war? How does she see her book now that young I.P.O.B. men take to the streets unarmed and are mowed down by the Nigerian military? How does it make her feel seeing her book’s relevance, its point that we never forget, continuously refreshed by these developments?
“It’s still very strange talking about my father now that he is gone, and”—she bends her head—“I am almost getting angry with you. It’s very unreasonable, but as you were saying ‘Your father passed,’ I wanted to say, ‘Whose father passed?’” She half chuckles, then furrows her brows to engage the question. “I do think that my novel and the neo-Biafran movement really represent two very different things. My book is about looking backwards. I.P.O.B. and the movements are about looking forward,” she says, and I realize that this question is one she has previously given thought to. “If I were asked to place Half of a Yellow Sun on a political pedestal, what I would write on that pedestal would be: We Must Remember. We Cannot Forget. We Must Remember.”
The I.P.O.B. sprang from a strong sense of increasing mistreatment and marginalization of Igbo people in Nigeria, “a very present phenomenon,” she notes. “But many people are still not versed in what happened in Biafra. I think that Biafra for this new movement is kind of an iconic thing they call upon, but the goal is to get somewhere in the future. That goal is not one that I don’t support, because increasingly, under Buhari’s government, I’m really now starting to see the basis for political ethnicity. I didn’t, I didn’t always—I do now. Half of a Yellow Sun is about how important it is to remember. I want every child in this country to know what the hell happened. If anything, it’s a plea for the humanizing of history.”
It distresses Chimamanda when people tell her that, until they read Half of a Yellow Sun, they had no idea what happened. It distresses her but also makes her happy because now they know. What she finds funny is a few people telling her that she had to have made some parts up—the gruesome, violent sections of the book. She always replied that they feel that way because they were “resisting accepting that our history is really f-ed up.”
The elongation of that f-ed up history, of ethnic marginalization and systemic dysfunction, led her to a reluctant but freeing place. “When I realized I didn’t have to love Nigeria, it was a very freeing thing for me,” she tells me. “If you ask what I think of Nigeria now, I don’t know. I think of Nigeria with a shrug. I don’t have to love Nigeria, but again, if I were honest, I would also say that maybe that position is one of self-protection, because if it were really true that I didn’t love Nigeria, why am I here? Why I am here and every day I’ll buy diesel? Why am I stressing, ‘Where are the vaccines for Nigeria’? Why do I go out and I just think, ‘My God, my people don’t have opportunities.’ Why, why, if I didn’t love Nigeria?”
(In June, four months after our conversation, Buhari’s government banned Twitter in Nigeria after the platform removed his tweet that threatened more violence on the southeast: “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War,” it read. “Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”)
She resents that negatives have come to be accepted as Nigerian, but she remains hopeful. “I really want this country to get better.” Then she lowers her voice, as if uttering the unthinkable: “And most of all, I think that it can be.”

“If something were not true to me, I wouldn’t do it”
Most of what Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie does in her talks and essays is describe the world she wants to see. But in her fiction, she makes that world. She watches people, observing minute traits, making quick initial impressions, and, with her own skill of character affectation, brings bits of them into her fiction. Her novels are threaded by personal tropes, used not only as character templates but to outline her worldview of family and friendship.
There is the Strong Aunt: Aunty Ifeoma in Purple Hibiscus, Aunty Ifeka in Half of a Yellow Sun, and Aunty Uju in Americanah. The Influential Sister Figure: Amaka in Purple Hibiscus, Kainene in Half of a Yellow Sun, and, to a lesser extent, Ginika and Ranyinudo in Americanah. And there is the Good Man in Love: Father Amadi in Purple Hibiscus, Odenigbo in Half of a Yellow Sun, and Obinze in Americanah. Her central characters—Kambili, Olanna, and Ifemelu—deviate from the tropes but remain surrounded by their support. Such archetypal worldbuilding works because she avoids generalization and locates specificity even in the minor characters and arcs. Is this deliberate?
“No!” she bursts into laughter. “This is why I don’t like these conversations—see, this is the problem with why writers should never talk to critics. No, it’s not deliberate.”
She ponders the characters I tell her I preferred on first reading: Odenigbo and not Ugwu in Half of a Yellow Sun, Blaine and Curt and not Obinze in Americanah. “You know what I’m already sensing?” she says. “So the good people bore you.”
“No, they don’t bore—”
She squints in comic suspicion: “That means there’s a dark, dark thing in your heart.” She throws her head back and laughs, her afro a jiggling halo, and I think about how she describes Ifemelu: It was the laugh of a woman who, when she laughed, really laughed. “I love a good conversation of ideas,” she laughs. “I love a good argument.”
I ask her about another trope: her use of salons, hosted by Odenigbo in Half of a Yellow Sun and by Shan in Americanah, her avenue to bring characters together to argue and debate ideas. “It was also about my father,” she says, “and I’d read about these academics that sort of—this exuberance of the ‘60s, you know. And I think that there’s a part of me that romanticizes that, because it doesn’t really exist now. Even with my father’s friends, they would gather and talk, but were they really talking about ideas that would change the world? Not really. They were bemoaning, imagonu, SAP. But in the ‘60s, they were like”—and she, with a balled fist, slips into a persona halfway between Odenigbo and his sparring partner Miss Adebayo—“‘What is going on in Congo? We must liberate South Africa!’ So I really wanted to try and capture that in Half of a Yellow Sun. With Americanah, I can see, I can—see, I don’t like having this kind of conversation. The book I’m working on now—I don’t want to start thinking of ‘tropes,’ and I hate that word ‘trope.’ But go on.”
I point out an interview from 2013 in which she used the word. She bursts into laughter, “Wait, wait, wait,” and continues laughing. “Wait, wait, wait, I leaned what—wait, so, so, what tropes of mine did I lean into more?”
In her convergence of tropes, it is an unlikely character that has drawn scrutiny: Obinze. I tell her that most men say they don’t recognize Obinze and she nods that women have told her the same, too, accusing her of manipulating them into wanting such goodness in a man that just doesn’t exist. Obinze’s goodness, similar to Olanna’s in Half of a Yellow Sun, comes too close to her. A friend once told her: “Ifemelu is the person you wish you were and Obinze is the person you actually are.” She told Ebony in 2014: “Obinze is my idealized male self.”
In enriching even her secondary characters, allowing you see how each has their own story ongoing, she goes against a popular rule in creative writing: focus on the main characters.
When it comes to style, there is a lot in M.F.A. writing programmes that she disagrees with. She had written Purple Hibiscus in the flush of poeticity, but studying at Johns Hopkins and writing Half of a Yellow Sun, she, then still a rule-follower, listened too much to instructors and clipped her prose into short sentences, sacrificing style for brevity, settling for the power of her storytelling to do the job. It did, its balance of long and short sentences worked, and yet, even while knowing that anything more would have messed with the poignancy of narration, she looks back with faint wishes.
“Can I just say, I think, Purple Hibiscus, I”—she sings in threes—“am quite pleased—with my sentences. I think that it’s poetry.” I chuckle at her delight and she sings, “Thank you very much.” But when she opens Half of a Yellow Sun, “There are some places I’ll be, like, hmmm, very elementary.”
And so, in the lightness of Americanah, she went rogue, opening with a 62-word riff on the smell of American cities.
“I’m glad that you noticed that first sentence,” she says, “and it was very deliberate on my part, but also honest. If something were not true to me, I wouldn’t do it. It came, I didn’t hold back, ordinarily I might have said maybe it’s too much, what would Raymond Carver say? No, I didn’t do that this time.”
“There was freedom,” I nod.
“Yes,” she says, “and because there was freedom, I could”—she moves into another musical tenor—“do the long sentence and be like ha ha ha!”
The freedom came from practical privilege: With Half of a Yellow Sun doing so well, she could afford to write a book that wouldn’t sell as well but that would satisfy her as long as it were true to her. What she didn’t foresee: Americanah selling two million copies in 29 languages worldwide within six years, and then beating some heavyweight bestsellers to win the “One Book, One New York” initiative.
I run through a stylistic evolution in her prose game, starting from the 2010 short story “Birdsong” and formalized in her 2017 rereading of Albert Speer’s The Third Reich, and I joke that it’s a showoff, and she chuckles, and says in Nigerian, “So someone cannot show off again? Every day, every day, dutiful daughter—some days, show off.” (In Notes on Grief, she writes: “A new voice is pushing itself out of my writing, full of the closeness I feel to death, the awareness of my own mortality, so finely threaded, so acute.” I wonder what this means for her newfound stylist spirit.)
It is also in Americanah that she uses more untranslated Igbo. She said in the Ebony interview: “What was more important, for the integrity of the novel, was that I capture the world I wanted to capture, rather than to try to mold that world into the idea of what the imagined reader would think.” Where Achebe introduced Igbo philosophy to a global readership, Chimamanda has, novel by novel, acquainted that audience with the language itself.
Chimamanda looks back at her M.F.A. experience at Johns Hopkins with gratitude for the space and stipend. “Alice McDermott was lovely,” she says of the novelist, one of her teachers. But she wishes the focus was “a bit broader.” The things some of her cohort members had problems with were things she looks back and realizes were the most interesting bits. She was the only Black student in her cohort, and very few of her classmates and faculty attended her reading when Purple Hibiscus came out. It felt strange to her that it was her own undergraduate students, and not the M.F.A. programme, who organized the reading. A professor told her he didn’t believe the novel because it was “too familiar” to him; he expected the stereotypes in The Economist and on CNN. She also didn’t like the stringent rules of “Show, don’t tell,” how they were constantly being told to curtail themselves, but she bought into that. Minimalism appealed to her to a certain extent, but she remembers reading David Means, whose sentences can stretch to a page.
And yet even after the success of Half of a Yellow Sun gave her freedom, and she started her workshop in Nigeria, she continued in the M.F.A. tradition. “I think the people who went to my workshop in the first two years and the people who’ve gone now, they’ll tell you it’s a different person. Now I just feel, like, no, we need to let the art speak to us.”
Which was why Binyavanga was so essential to the workshop. “I wanted to give people this: you have me, rule-follower to an extent, and then you have Binyavanga. You could see I had the deepest respect for him and he had the deepest respect for me, so it shows what is possible in literature.”
Which is why she asks her workshop people to also read white male authors. “When young people come and tell me, ‘I’m not reading any white men,’ I’m like, no, you have to. First of all, there are some lovely books by white men. But even to understand what you don’t like, you need to know it, to understand why you don’t like it. You need to be familiar with what they call the ‘Western Canon’ in order to criticize intelligently.” In the same breath she shifts into killer mode: “Austerlitz is so brilliantly cold, and I remember reading it—I quite like the sentences—and I thought, My God, I would recommend therapy for this writer.” (She reads male writers with a penknife as page-marker: Ask V.S. Naipaul, whose A Bend in the River gets torn into in Americanah and about whose The Masque of Africa she said, “I started reading, then I stopped halfway—it was just bad.”)
She is in critic mode now. “I read with my head but I also read with my heart. I find that there is an emotional awkwardness you see in white male writers and that we forgive. Not only do we forgive them, we call it greatness. Think about how many women would write the way they write and be called great? They wouldn’t. I went through a period when I sat down and read quite a number of Great White Men.”
Her belief in the diversity of African stories was why when Teju Cole, then a new writer, sent her a copy of his Lagos novella Every Day Is for the Thief, she was excited that someone was doing something different. She liked the book, and, when his novel Open City came out in 2011, co-hosted a luncheon with Random House to introduce him to American journalists.
In publishing, a word from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie carries weight, of course. She liked then new writer Jowhor Ile’s short stories, talked him up in an interview, and his novel became anticipated. For Harper’s Bazaar, she profiled the rising 23-year-old artist Tonia Nneji. Three years ago, after Barnes & Noble honoured her with its Writers for Writers Award, she invited the novelist and McSweeneys editor Dave Eggers to teach at her workshop, and when he picked five stories for publication in the magazine, she wrote an introduction. This year, Ile and one of writers published in McSweeneys, Adachioma Ezeano, won O. Henry Prizes, for the anthology she guest-edited.
In its 14 years, the workshop, first named after her former Nigerian publisher Farafina and later renamed after her Purple Hibiscus Trust, has seen over 250 writers pass through it.
“My whole life has been one where difference is normal”
The workshop was also the source of her first public controversy. A 2013 interview she granted—in which she, rightly, said that “the Caine Prize is not the arbiter of the best fiction from Africa” and affectionately called one of the prize’s shortlisted writers, a protégé and graduate of her workshop, “one of my boys”—drew furious responses. Half of the backlash was spurred by the shortlisted writer resenting being called “boy”; the other half was to her saying sarcastically, in response to a question about where she goes to read “the best new fiction from Africa,” that “I go to my mailbox.” It was the start of a bewildering phase for her, in which, the more famous she became, the more her offhanded comments snowballed into news.
In 2014, she criticized Nigeria’s anti-gay law, one of very few public figures to provide much-needed mainstream allyship for the country’s embattled L.G.B.T.Q. population. It signaled to a great number of conservative Nigerians, already rankled by her preaching of feminism, that she was Trouble, and they duly made her a scapegoat for sexist frustration. They accused her of saying that women who wore attachment lacked self-confidence. They lashed out because she refused to be addressed as “Mrs.,” to have her identity be subsumed by marriage. They chided young feminists as “Daughters of Chimamanda.”
“It was not unexpected when the lash began,” Adachioma Ezeano, the O. Henry Prize winner, told me. “She has, on the basis of her gender, been a target for men. It’s the idea that a woman must be hushed, otherwise she should ready herself to be cracked open. Clamp down on vocal women for doing what their male counterparts would be applauded for. They expect her to shut up and write. But she is powerfully vocal, a reincarnation of pre-colonial women.”
The more comfortable Chimamanda got in the spotlight, the sharper her clapbacks became. At the Night of Ideas in Paris, the interviewer asked her if there were bookshops in Nigeria, and she nodded in incredulity as the crowd murmured, and she said, “I think it reflects very poorly on the French people that you have to ask me that question. I mean, it’s 2018.” In the same interview, though, asked her thoughts on postcolonial theory, she said with a straight face: “I don’t know what it means. I think it’s something that professors made up because they needed to get jobs.” The reaction was predictably mixed, excitement for the clapback, bewilderment at the comment, with academics pointing out that, as a successful writer with an M.A. in African Studies whose books are taught as cornerstone postcolonial literary texts, she was knocking at the ladders that lifted her.
And then, in a Channel 4 News interview in 2017, she was asked, “Does it matter how you’ve arrived at being a woman, for example, if you’re a trans woman who grew up identifying as a man, who grew up enjoying the privileges of being a man, does that take away from becoming a woman, are you any less of a real woman?”
She nodded as the journalist spoke. Then she said, “So when people talk about ‘Are trans women women?’ my feeling is trans women are trans women. I think if you’ve lived in the world as a man, with the privileges the world accords to men, and then sort of changed, switched gender, it’s difficult for me to accept that then we can equate your experience with the experience of a woman who has lived from the beginning in the world as a woman and who has not been accorded these privileges that men are. I don’t think it’s a good thing to conflate everything into one. I don’t think it’s a good thing to talk about women’s issues being exactly the same as the issues of trans women. What I’m saying is that gender is not biology, gender is sociology.”
The backlash was quick, wide, furious, and deep. The words held aloft: “Trans women are trans women.” Why did she not use “cis” to describe non-trans women?
She clarified on Facebook: “Perhaps I should have said that trans women are trans women and cis women are cis women and all are women. Except that ‘cis’ is not an organic part of my vocabulary”; later posting: “To say this is not to exclude trans women from Feminism or to suggest that trans issues are not feminist issues or to diminish the violence they experience—a violence that is pure misogyny.”
Then she said, “Of course they are women, but in talking about feminism and gender and all of that, it’s important for us to acknowledge the differences in experience of gender. That’s really what my point is.”
The backlash persisted, and in 2018 she referred to it as “the trans noise,” and in 2020 said that an essay on sex and gender by J.K. Rowling, which sparked controversy about trans women, was “perfectly reasonable,” and the backlash flared again. Since her first comments, she has needed extra security at book launches.
“What’s interesting to me is this is in many ways about language,” she said then, “and I think it also illustrates the less pleasant aspects of the American left that there sometimes is this is kind of language orthodoxy that you’re supposed to participate in, and when you don’t there’s kind of backlash that gets very personal and very hostile and very closed to debate.”
Her comments on trans women cost her relationships. (Four months after our interview, Chimamanda would publish, on her website, a viral piece that named no one but described the actions of two of her workshop graduates, tying their behaviour to social media sanctimony and cancel culture.) Seated on her couch, she says quietly, “I cannot tell you how deeply hurt I was.”
She switches to her usual assuredness: “I said to myself, ‘I need to do what I tell people: if somebody criticizes you, you have to look inward.’ I said, ‘Is there a blind spot?’ In all of this, I’ve read every trans memoir published. I’ve read everything about transgender ideology. I went because I needed to understand what was going on with the reaction. I genuinely didn’t. Partly also because I’ve never really been part of a certain kind of academic feminism in America. What I am is really a storyteller. I’ve tried to read a lot of feminist theory. I am a very clear thinker. When I wrote that on Facebook, I was willing to start saying ‘cis women,’ because if ‘cis’ just meant you’re not trans, okay. When that happened, there were lovely trans women who wrote to me, through my manager. And I think there’s a generational thing, they were mostly older people. They wrote to me very lovely letters, saying, ‘We’re sorry that you’re going through this, we know what you mean,’ and I really appreciated that. Having read a lot, perhaps too much”—she laughs—“I think I became slightly obsessed; all the newspapers I read, anything about transgender, I’m reading it.”
I ask her about her childhood, being a girl who never felt she fit in with other girls, and she tells me the reason she has not used “cis” to describe herself: “Gender ideology says that ‘cis’ means that your gender matches the sex you are born with. That’s not true for me. So if we go with gender ideology—then I’m what?” Perhaps she feels the time is right to address this part of her life. “I’m actually writing something now,” she says, “because, just as I said, since June 10, I’m just like, no, I need to.”
In her reading on the stories of trans people, she has also been thinking about anti-lesbian homophobia. “There are lesbians who are still trying to carve out a space to be, and suddenly you’re telling them that they cannot define themselves? Mba nau, no, no, no, what is that? For me, inclusion means ‘make room for everybody.’ The problem with the liberal left in America, and I have a huge problem with that, is that on one hand they advocate to embrace difference but actually the response to that is to squash difference. Because my whole life has been one where—I think difference is normal, that’s how I was born.”
Back in 2017, as she sought to understand why her words were considered offensive, newspapers were calling her agent, asking if she was “ready to change her mind now.” It felt, to her, like she was suddenly in a reeducation camp. A year later, though, she was winning the PEN Pinter Prize for how “she refuses to be deterred or detained by the categories of others” and “guides us through the revolving doors of identity politics, liberating us all.”
Chimamanda has said that being considered a “feminist cheerleader” makes her cringe, but the 750,000 sales figure for We Should All Be Feminists in the U.S. begs to disagree. “I don’t feel that I’m the authority on feminism and I don’t necessarily want to be,” she said in that controversial interview. “I think of myself as a storyteller who from time to time will talk about what she’s passionate about, which is feminism. Feminism’s ultimate goal is to make itself redundant, to get to a world where we no longer have to be labeled feminist because the world would be gender-equal. And for that to happen, we need to have as many people onboard as possible.”
“What I learned is,” she tells me, “(a) a complete lack of patience in orthodoxy and then (b) you know what, I think I’m a person for whom my hurt comes out as anger. I had a wise woman once say to me, ‘You need to acknowledge when you’re hurt. Let your hurt be hurt.’ She said, ‘It’s easier for you to be angry,’ and I think it’s true. So I was hurt, and it just came out as rage, and that rage is bubbling up right now.”
“Since June 10, there has been sort of like a gash in my worldview”
It is 8 p.m. Our allotted interview time ended at 6:30 p.m. and I have been in her home for two hours and 11 minutes now. Her chef, G., returns with a tray of glasses of orange juice, and she, before she sips hers, asks me, “Are you sure you don’t want more?” She has barely kept the glass when she exclaims, looking at her phone. I have taken up time for another appointment. I apologize and she assures, “No, don’t apologize.” And she keeps her phone. In the two more hours we talk, her demeanour is still permeated by humour, a willingness to follow the trail of sarcasm for a good laugh. “Wait, wait first,” she laughs to a comment I make, “there’s something there, who is that shade meant for?”
She is talking about rage and love when a video call comes on the i-Pad on the table. “Ohhh, sorry, sorry,” Chimamanda says, and calls for her daughter. “She has a phone call. She has to do the video with her friend.” She turns to the i-Pad. “Hel-lo,” she beams at the excited child in the screen, and she gets up, towards the dining table. Her daughter runs in and Chimamanda tunes: “Time to call her back.” And gives her the i-Pad.
“Where were we, in our gossip?” She smiles. “Ike agwugokwam, biko. I’m really slow now, imagonu, ndi ogbanje no m n’isi na-agwa m okwu.” I chuckle at the imagery of ogbanje spirits gathering to warn her that she is tired.
But she continues, hitting several points: “There’s a kind of grasping, calculating energy that just shocks me. When you become successful, people see you and think, ‘What can she do for me? What can I gain from her?’ But when you do it in a way that’s—ruthless.” She shakes her head. “People are not allowed to learn. There’s an automatic assumption that not only should you know the orthodoxy, you should abide by the orthodoxy, there is the assumption that anybody who doesn’t has ill will. I like to see young people stand up for something. I think, on social media, there’s an element of performance, then you meet them in person.”
Success makes people unreachable, super success makes them unbroachable, but Chimamanda has been open in talking about everything, so I ask her a question I have had in mind for years: “Do you feel untouchable?”
“Nooo,” she says, with a thrust of shoulders.
“Not personally, I mean professionally.”
“No,” she says. “You see, this is actually an interesting question. I am now learning from my own experience. There are certain judgements I used to make about other people. So maybe a famous actor or political figure is being interviewed, and I’m looking at them as, ‘Ah, where you are nau’—and they talk about feeling a certain kind of vulnerability and I’m, like, ‘Come on!’”
Sometimes, when she attends events, well-meaning people tell her not to say anything controversial. “There is a kind of love that results in great resentment,” she tells me. “Since June 10, there has been sort of like a gash in my worldview.”
Chimamanda is a bard of individuality. Her unspoken battle, I find, is to reclaim her path from the public. It is to rearrange any ideas of the conventional successful, beloved woman expected to speak only the agreeable, to replace that with a real human being who will not stifle herself to please observers. Her unspoken battle is to re-place herself.
She insists on difference, nuance, complexity. She knows, for example, that her first literary hero Enid Blyton was racist, but she will not shed the joy of her childhood because of that. “The response to bad speech,” she has said, “is more speech.”
A call comes on another i-Pad and she looks at her daughter. “Papa is calling. I ji i-Pad?” She has no i-Pad with her, so she comes to take her mother’s. “Does she look like me?” Chimamanda asks me. I am aware that she has lovingly complained in public that her daughter used to instantly run to her father whenever he returned from work, leaving her the mother puzzled. I grin, measuring my words. “Tread very carefully,” she says with a mischievous smile.
“The very best that the literary community has to offer”
Last November, a week after Donald Trump was voted out as U.S. president, The New York Times asked Chimamanda to write the paper’s lead review of Barack Obama’s hefty memoir A Promised Land. Obama is “as fine a writer as they come,” she wrote. “And yet for all his ruthless self-assessment, there is very little of what the best memoirs bring: true self-revelation.” Her analysis, in how it doesn’t let even a man she seriously admires off the hook—a man who has called her “one of the world’s great contemporary writers”—demonstrates why her internationalist voice, the informed, scrutinizing perspective of an outsider unapologetic about her allegiances, is highly sought after.
It was why, upon Trump’s election in 2016, the BBC put her on a panel to argue if the man would lead with the divisive rhetoric he campaigned with, and she told the other panelist, “I’m sorry, but as a white man, you don’t get to define what racism is.” It was partly why Hilary Clinton requested to be interviewed by her onstage after her 2018 PEN America lecture, and then she asked the former presidential candidate, Secretary of State, and First Lady why her Twitter bio led with “wife,” setting off alarmed reactions, until Clinton changed the bio. It was why PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel said afterwards: “When we need the very best that the literary community has to offer, we are grateful we can turn to Chimamanda, and she never disappoints!”
It was also why, later that year, Michelle Obama, who previously edited her for MORE and to whom she wrote a beautiful tribute after leaving office, asked her to moderate the London stop of her Becoming book tour. And it was on that stage that the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle saw her and, the following year, put her on the September cover of British Vogue.
Chimamanda herself understands the humanity she brings to political conversations, and so, earlier this month at the Theatre der Welt Festival, she asked the German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the Nigerian government’s claim of a contract with Siemens to bring electricity in Nigeria. “I will get back to you,” Merkel said, “you will get your answer.”
“Please come to Lagos,” Chimamanda said at a point.
“If you will receive me, I will come,” Merkel said.
“It’s done,” Chimamanda said.
Hers is a completely Nigerian voice, embodying in attitude the full potential of the country’s soft power. It is an audacity that, on the global stage, only Nigerians carry with ease, and in being an exceptional Nigerian, it would not escape her that she says with casualness what many people wish someone would. That voice ensured that her #ProjectWearNigerian added attention to the country’s fashion industry, coupled with her Boots No. 7 endorsement being a radical, political move that a British brand tapped a dark-skinned writer to front a campaign.
Unlike most Afropolitan writers of her generation, Chimamanda has never wavered in her commitment to Nigerian affairs. She criticized and fictionalized former president Goodluck Jonathan—during whose administration she was honoured with a Global Ambassador Achievement Award—as she later, twice, would Melania Trump. She spoke up when the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo residents with death in the lagoon if they didn’t vote for his governorship candidate. And she spoke up again when, under Buhari last year, End SARS-protesting young Nigerians were killed in the infamous Lekki Massacre.
In Nigeria, she is freely critical. But once outside Nigeria, she represents, becomes fiercely protective. She always believed that leaving a country is one’s process of finding themselves. That is why it was important to her that Ifemelu, the heroine of Americanah, returned home.
Chimamanda’s liberation in Americanah had an industry-wide effect. Marlon James has said that the novel, in its “post-post-colonial” stance, changed attitudes in publishing towards novels by and about non-White people.
Lexy Bloom, her U.S. editor at Alfred A. Knopf, told me why her work resonates in America. “Chimamanda writes about race and gender in a way that is both trenchant and accessible,” she said—“her choice of subject, her ear for dialogue, her excellent powers of observation, and her profound ability to go succinctly to the heart of an issue with sharp analysis and brilliant wit.” Bloom points out Ifemelu’s blog post in Americanah, “To My Fellow Non-American Blacks: In American, You Are Black, Baby,” as a “perceptive view of race [that] is eye-opening to many Americans.”
Years before the election of Trump, the death of George Floyd, and the globalization of Black Lives Matters protests, Americanah, Bloom said, “spelled out the hypocrisy, racism, and stratification that defines American politics.” The novel is, she said, “one of the most prescient, transparent books about race in the U.S. to be written in the 21st century.”
Every one of her novels, in expanding her subject matter, broke down a wall in publishing. Purple Hibiscus proved that there was an international market for African realist fiction post-Achebe. Half of a Yellow Sun showed that that market could care about African histories. The novels say: We can be specific in storytelling.
In the U.S., her post-post-colonial approach has sold over two million copies. “Her books are serious; they are also great big love stories,” Bloom explained. “She has shown the publishing community that you can tackle these issues in works that meet with critical and commercial success.”
She agreed with Marlon James. “It is in part thanks to Chimamanda that publishers are now eager to publish a multiplicity of African stories—stories that speak of homosexuality, of feminism, of family drama; stories that cover a variety of genres, from romance to sci-fi and fantasy; from commercial to literary fiction—stories that do not define themselves purely by their relationship (or lack thereof) to the US or Britain. If that isn’t liberating, then I don’t know what is.”
Mitzi Angel told me, about Half of a Yellow Sun, that “Chimamanda’s storytelling powers have something to do with the way she keeps things simple. Her prose is clean and clear. But that stillness comes from wisdom; from an understanding of how complicated and painful things can be.”
She remembered telling Chimamanda about Achebe’s blurb. She called and asked her, “Are you sitting down?” and began to read:
We do not usually associate wisdom with beginners, but here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers. [She] knows what is at stake, and what to do about it. Her experimentation with the dual mandate of English and Igbo in perennial discourse is a case in point. Timid and less competent writers would avoid the complication altogether, but [she] embraces it because her story needs it. She is fearless, or would not have taken on the intimidating horror of Nigeria’s civil war. Adichie came almost fully made.
Chimamanda cried. After Purple Hibiscus came out, Achebe’s son had emailed her to say that the man “liked it very much,” and that “He wants you to call him at this number.” Although she was over-thrilled, she never did. His work, she felt, had done more than enough, and she wanted some distance from her literary hero.
Chimamanda met Achebe only thrice, in public events. But she memorized his blurb. In 2012, when his memoir There Was a Country came out and spurred national tos and fros about intentions during the Biafran War, she called it “an account of the most important event in Nigeria’s history by Nigeria’s most important storyteller,” but also wrote that she wished the book “had been better edited and more rigorously detailed in its account of the war. But these flaws do not make it any less seminal.”
I begin reading something and Chimamanda cuts in. “Pre-June 10, I would have stopped you the moment you want to tell me what people have written about my work,” she says. “I just didn’t want to know. I didn’t want people to tell me.” She heaves. “Now I’m different. So go on, tell me.”
The praise for Half of a Yellow Sun had been so loud and knowing—Dave Eggers wrote that it had “the scope and breadth of Tolstoy, or Chekhov,” Joyce Carol Oates suggested a Booker nomination—that when it was left off the 19-novel Booker Prize longlist of 2006, observers were surprised and Chimamanda was depressed. It was a turning point.
“I remember very clearly telling myself, I would never allow myself to be in this place again,” she tells me. “Never. Because it’s not worth it. That’s the day I told myself—prizes? They would never again hold me hostage like this, never. And till this day, never.”
Her win of the Orange Prize did not come without hiccups. The chair of judges, Muriel Gray, stirred controversy saying they went through “a lot of dross” to pick the shortlist. Half of a Yellow Sun was the hot favourite to win, which put Chimamanda on guard, and then the day before the announcement, her handbag, containing credit cards and a jotter, was stolen at a reading in London.
In only the first five months of 2007, even before it won the Orange Prize, Half of a Yellow Sun sold 187,000 paperback copies in the U.K., courtesy of being picked by the Richard and Judy Book Club. By the end of the year, The Bookseller put the figure at 385,000. In 2010, Nielsen BookScan reported its sales at 525,438; the novel—and previous Orange winners Andrea Levy’s Small Island and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk About Kevin—had outsold every Booker winner of the 21st century except Yann Martel’s Life of Pi.
The novel also picked up the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, the PEN “Beyond Margins” Award, and a New York Public Library Book Award. Then in 2015, the Independent Bath Literature Festival listed “The 20 Best Books from the Past 20 Years” and chose it for 2007, and a BBC Culture poll of American critics ranked it 10th on its list of “The Greatest Novels of the 21st Century So Far.” (Americanah ranked 13th). In 2019, the BBC listed it among “The 100 Novels That Shaped Our World.”
Mitzi Angel looks back with satisfaction. “This is a book about war that I felt would—or at least should—be read for generations. There are moments when there’s a feeling of inevitability; when you feel that in the end the literary community and, more importantly, the readers will gather around a particular publication. That’s what happened with Half of a Yellow Sun.”
Chimamanda is smiling as I ask about her writing process for the novel that began it all, Purple Hibiscus, which often feels forgotten. When it was picked for the “One Book, One Maryland” initiative, people came to the event and asked questions about just Americanah. The forgetfulness was why she renamed her workshop after the novel, to remind people that she started somewhere.
“I don’t remember,” she replies, joking, “At 43, I don’t remember things anymore.”
V.
“The ground beneath my feet is still extremely unstable”
Two weeks ago, a friend from her M.F.A. lost her father, and Chimamanda called her and they cried together on the phone. “I was telling her this is how it’s going to feel—I had suddenly become the expert on fathers dying. I hung up the phone and was, like, what?” She sighs. “The ground beneath my feet is still extremely unstable.”
Three days after our meeting, on the day their father would have turned 89, the Adichie family would announce that their mother had passed. Two months on, in Abba, on May 1, Chimamanda and her sisters would lead the burial procession from St. Paul’s to their family home. Later that afternoon, she would stand in her family compound, before journalists, talking about the person that Grace Ifeoma Adichie was. She would call her one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen. She would call her warm and sharp, and say that, even in the ‘50s and ‘60s when women were constrained, her mother followed her ambitions to go to university. She would retell how her parents met, how her mother declined to marry richer men. She would describe her love as unconditional and say that she was, more than a mother, a friend. On the Sunday after the burial, during Thanksgiving Mass, a priest would criticize her and she would stand up and take the microphone and, in her gentle but determined way, call him out for choosing her family’s time of mourning to publicly say what he did, when he could have told her that in private, and the clip would go viral.
But reclining now on her couch, talking about her father and the book she wrote because of him, her daughter talking to her own doctor father on the i-Pad, there was no way she could have known what was coming, that there would be more pain, and that even in private pain public battles galore.
Chimamanda sometimes cruises through interviews teasing and ribbing the interviewer, so she tells me that she is reading two biographies of Winston Churchill, and then she strikes: “What I’ve come to realise, profiles and biographies are not about the subject, they are about the writer.” I think of saying that it is mostly halfway between the subject and the writer, but this is not an easily winnable argument.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will have a significantly broad legacy. There is the great writer and there is the lightning public intellectual who straddles seminal issues of our time, both emanating from the consummate, interpretive humanist. “Adichie’s great gift,” Column McCann wrote, “is that she has always brought us into the territory of the previously unexplored.” So profound has her touch been that I am convinced we will see another iteration. As she listened with complete attention all through these hours, laughing and walking me back to clarify every comment made in passing, with warmth, openness, and a curiosity that is almost defeating of the immense knowledge at her disposal, I think that her ultimate legacy will be in having reset cultural dynamics, in having hung her work so impossibly high as to have enlarged our collective capacity to dream, to see, to bet on ourselves. From her earliest interviews until now, almost 20 years later, she has been consistent in her worldview. Arinze Ifeakandu put it this way: “She moved with audacity, giving a humane view without surrendering her humanity.”
It is 10 p.m. and my intended 90-minute visit has ended at five hours. Chimamanda reintroduces me to her assistants, U. and O. “My guardians,” she calls them. They are smiling and I am smiling and she looks from them to me and straight ahead. “Why are you all smiling sheepishly?” We laugh. ♦

Also known as Coal City, part of the area was originally occupied by the Nike community, with evidence of their presence in the area going back to the 15th century.
During the Atlantic Slave Trade, Nike traders acted as middlemen between Hausa slave traders from northern Nigeria and Arochukwu dealers to the south that delivered human cargo to European slave merchants waiting on the Atlantic coast.
With the abolition of the trade and the onset of colonial rule, the articles of trade turned to agricultural and mineral produce, with coal discovered in commercial quantities around Enugu in 1909.
The discovery prompted the establishment of mines and the building of a rail line from Port Harcourt on the coast to Enugu, completed in 1916, for the purpose of evacuating the coal to Europe-bound ships on the coast. Thus began Enugu’s rapid growth into a major urban centre. Ultimately, Enugu in 1938 became the administrative capital of the Eastern Region, one of three regional governance units (including the Northern and the Western) that made up Nigeria under British colonial rule.
The population of the city then began to swell as migrant workers poured into the area in search of work. In this city one of the initial sparks that later crystallized into the nationalist, independence movement was also started. This was in 1949 when the colonial government violently broke up a strike by coal miners, shooting dead 21 miners and wounding 51. This helped to fire up the enthusiasm of nationalist campaigners such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, whose West African Pilot newspaper group helped sustain the issue as a talking point that helped galvanize opposition to British colonial rule.
With the start of regional self-rule in 1954 under the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), Enugu remained the capital, then became a municipal area two years later when Umaru Altine, a Hausa-speaking northerner, was elected its first mayor. This situation of Enugu as a regional capital didn’t change with independence in 1960.
However, civil war broke out seven years later when the intractable political crisis that had dogged the country from birth resulted in the January 1966 military coup that triggered the mass killing of Igbos and other southerners living in the north. Enugu became the capital of the breakaway Republic of Biafra.
With the end of the civil war in 1970, Enugu reverted to being the capital of the East Central State created by the federal government during the war as the former regions were broken into 12 states. The area for which the city served as capital continued to diminish in the subsequent years as Imo State was created out of East Central State in 1976, and later Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu states were further created. The city is currently the capital of only Enugu State but is still considered by many as the Igbo capital.
Topography and Climate
While it’s name might suggest it is a city on a hill, the inhabited part of Enugu actually lies at the foot of a massive ridge overlooking the city in which the coal deposits were mined. The highest point around Milliken Hill is about 1,000 meters above sea level. In the low-lying areas of the city there are several rivers, including the Ekulu, Ogbete, Idaw, Asata, Aria and Nyaba rivers. Like most of Northern Igbo areas, the rainforest cover is mostly gone, replaced by wooded savannah. Average temperatures are between 25 degrees celsius at the peak of the rainy season and 36 degrees celsius in the hot season. Enugu also gets its share of the harmattan winds that blow from the Sahara Desert from about December to Nigeria.
Economy and Government
Enugu’s coal mines became neglected and ultimately abandoned during successive government’s starting from the 1970s as crude oil became Nigeria’s pre-eminent export. Today, hardly any coal is produced in Enugu, and the famed Onyeama, Okpara and Iva Valley mines are at best decrepit places where one could go to for glimpses of the past. And as it’s area of responsibility as a capital shrank over the years making it the city increasingly provincial, revenue generated by the city also declined and economic activity suffered consequently. Despite this turn of affairs, Enugu has continued to benefit from its symbolic role as the political capital of the southeast. It remains the residence of choice for many prominent people from the southeast.
Demography and Culture
Projections from Nigeria’s last census in 2006, when Enugu was reported with 722, 664 people, will have the city’s population in the range of 1.2-1.3 million. Though in the Udi-Nkanu sphere of Igbo culture, Enugu has never lost its place as a centre of an elite cosmopolitan Igbo culture, that could be contrasted with the brashness of the gritty trader type that dominates say the city of Onitsha. Enugu, to many, remains the city of civil servants. Many prominent Igbos choose to maintain homes in the, reassures by its sedateness, the presence of an international airport and easy access to other parts of the southeast. Enugu is the birthplace of many famous Nigerians such as the footballer Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, the writer Chimamanda Adichie and the home of the iconic Rangers International Football Club.
Enugu is famous for its masquerades, a reflection of the vibrant Nkanu and Udo masquerade culture, which has transformed into the annual Mmanwu Festival that showcases this important aspect of traditional theater. It hosts important tourist sites, which apart from the coal mines, include the Old Eastern House of Assembly, the National Archives and the Museum.
Festivals
Like most Igbo communities, key festive activities revolve around traditional festivals such as the New Yam celebrations and those related to the masquerade culture, or Mmanwu (also called mmonwu). But in Enugu, these have a distinct northern Igbo flavour of the sort more likely to be found around the Awgu, Nkanu, Nike, Udi and Ukehe axis, backed with the expert play of metal gongs. There is now an annual Mmanwu Festival held every August at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, where the full variety of masquerade displays are put on show.
Places to visit
Places of interest for visitors to Enugu include historical sites, sites of natural phenomena and places for recreation. They include the Enugu Hilltop from which the whole city sprawls forth in beautiful scenery, as well as the disused coal mines that surround the city. Another major attractions is the Polo Park on Abakaliki Road that was recently converted into a big shopping mall occupied by South African chain stores such as Shoprite and Game Stores (a subsidiary of the U.S. retail giant Walmart). Other places of interest are the Enugu Zoo, the golf course, the old Eastern Nigeria Parliamentary Building and the Government Lodge as well as the museum run by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments.
Media
Enugu from its early days was a centre of mass media activity, from the times of the Eastern Nigeria Sentinel published by the West African Pilot newspaper group, to the establishment of a regional radio and television under Premier Michael Okpara, and subsequent creation of other state-owned media such as Renaissance and the Daily Star newspapers in the 1970s and the 1980s.
Media organisations currently operating in Enugu include a branch of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) network, the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, the Enugu State Broadcasting Service, owned by the state government, which runs radio and television services. The city is also a favourite shooting location for the country movie industry, known as Nelly wood and reputed to produce the most films worldwide after India’s. Enugu is also the home to Rangers International Football Club, one of the country’s most famous soccer teams, which plays it’s matches at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
Education
The major tertiary educational institutions in Enugu include the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (which hosts the law and medical faculties), the Enugu State University and the Institute of Management and Technology, a polytechnic.

Chief Pete Edochie, MON (born 7 March 1947) is a Nigerian actor. Edochie is considered one of Africa’s most talented actors, being honoured with an Industry Merit Award by Africa Magic and Lifetime Achievement by Africa Film Academy.
Although a seasoned administrator and broadcaster, he came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in an NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all-time best selling novel, Things Fall Apart. Edochie descends from the Igbo people in Nigeria and is a Catholic. In 2003, he was honoured as a Member of the Order of the Niger by President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Career
He got into radio broadcasting in 1967 at the age of 20 as a junior programmes assistant after which he was elevated to the level of a Director. He was director of programmes, but doubling sometimes as Deputy Managing Director and occasionally acting as Managing Director. He quit ABS because the government decided to politicise the affairs of their FM station, thereby resulting in the entire management being asked to move out, including him. He was to be the immediate successor to the MD but had to leave and enrol into the movie industry. Prior to that, he had featured in Things Fall Apart and had won an International Award. The BBC flew into Nigeria to interview him for his role in Things Fall Apart.
In September 2017, Edochie endorsed Wikimedia movement in Nigeria by appearing in a video to increase awareness and use of Wikipedia among the older generations.

As the veteran actor celebrates spending three scores and sixteen, the Pulse Celebrity Desk highlights important fractions of his life you need to know.
Early life and education
The legend was born in Enugu State, Nigeria, but had his primary and secondary school education in Northern Nigeria. Edochie attended St. Patrick's College for his secondary education.
ADVERTISEMENT
After completing his education, he worked for the Nigerian Railway Corporation before moving on to the Eastern Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation as a junior programme assistant in the late 1960s. Afterwards, he went back to school to complete a journalism and television course at the School of Journalism and Television in London.
In 1967, Edochie made his acting debut in the Nigerian television drama series 'The Village Masquerade,' which was produced by the Eastern Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation.
He played the lead role of Okonkwo in the 1987 adaptation of Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart,' which brought him to the forefront of the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Career
ADVERTISEMENT
In the years following his breakout performance, Edochie continued to act in numerous movies and television series. He has performed in over 100 movies in a career spanning over 40 years, including popular films such as 'Igodo,' 'Mark of the Beast,' 'The Greatest Weapon,' and ' Lionheart.'
Edochie is known for his exceptional acting skills and his ability to bring his characters to life. He has a unique style that has endeared him to audiences, and his deep voice is now synonymous with his acting.
Pulse Nigeria
Awards and Recognition
Edochie has won numerous awards and accolades throughout his career. In 2003, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the African Movie Academy Awards, and in 2008, he was conferred with the national award of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) by the Nigerian government.
ADVERTISEMENT
He has also received the Best Actor Award at the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards and the Best Actor in a Leading Role award at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards.
Pulse Nigeria
Personal Life
Edochie married at the age of 22 to his wife, Josephine, and has six children. His son, Yul Edochie, is also a popular Nigerian actor who has followed in his father's footsteps.
Pulse Nigeria
ADVERTISEMENT
Controversies
In 2005, the Actors' Guild of Nigeria placed him and several other performers like Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Noah, and Richard Mofe Damijo were all placed on a one-year suspension, so his career hasn't been entirely devoid of controversy. Due to their A-list star status, the actors were alleged to have received enormous payments from producers.
76 and standing strong
Edochie has played a significant role in shaping the Nigerian entertainment industry. His exceptional acting skills, unique style, and deep voice have endeared him to audiences both in Nigeria and beyond.
As he celebrates his 76th birthday, we wish him many more years of good health and success.

This article is about the capital of Enugu State in Nigeria. For the state, see Enugu State. For all other uses, see Enugu (disambiguation).
Enugu ( ay-NOO-goo;[8] Igbo: Énugwú)[9][10] is the capital city of Enugu State in Nigeria. It is located inland in the Southeastern part of Nigeria. According to the 2006 census, the city had a population of 820,000.
Quick Facts Énugwú, Country ...
Close
The name Enugu is derived from the two Igbo words Énú úgwú, meaning "hill top", denoting the city's hilly geography. Enugu acquired township status in 1917 and was called Enugwu-Ngwo. Because of its rapid expansion towards areas owned by other indigenous communities, the city was renamed Enugu in 1928. Since the 17th century the location of present-day Enugu has been inhabited by the Ngwo and Nike ( nee-KAY) subgroups of the Igbo people.
In 1900, the colonial administration of the British Empire established the Southern Nigeria Protectorate. After the discovery of coal in 1909 by colonists, they founded what was then known as the Enugu Coal Camp. It was named after the nearby village of Enugu Ngwo, where coal was first found.
The nearby city of Port Harcourt was created in order to ship this coal abroad. It was located 243 kilometres (151 mi) south of the camp.[11]
Coal mining opportunities in Enugu attracted people from throughout the region; this marked the core of the first urban settlement of what is today known as simply Enugu. Enugu developed as one of the few cities in West Africa created entirely from European contact. By 1958 Enugu had more than 8,000 coal miners, many managing individual plots. As of 2005 there are no significant coal mining activities left in the city.
Enugu became the capital of the Eastern Region after Nigeria's independence in 1960; a succession of territorial adjustments in 1967, 1976 and 1991 resulted in Enugu becoming the capital of what is now Enugu State. On 30 May 1967 Enugu was declared the capital of the short-lived Republic of Biafra; for this Enugu is known as the "capital of Igboland." After Enugu was captured by Nigerian armed forces, the Biafran capital was moved to Umuahia.
Industries in the city include the urban market and bottling industries. Enugu is also a primary filming location for producers of the Nigerian movie industry. Enugu's main airport is the Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
The 2006 national census in Nigeria estimated the population of Enugu state at 3,267,837.[12] While males constitute 48.84% of the population, the female population constitute 51.16%[13] (1,596,042 males and 1,671,795 females). But, demographers have indicated that the actual population of Enugu state is around six million.[14]
