‘There’re good men’ – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie speaks on choosing right spouse
Renowned Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has shared insights with young women on the importance of choosing the right life partners.
Speaking at a recent event titled Dream Count, Adichie emphasised that the choice of a partner significantly influences the trajectory of one’s life. She urged women to exercise caution when selecting a life partner, stressing that settling for the wrong person can have long-term consequences.
The author further underscored the importance of self-fulfilment in women, encouraging them to pursue their passions and interests.
She said, “It’s so important for a woman to have her own, a sense of self fulfilment, it doesn’t matter what it is. It is really important who you choose, sometimes as a young woman you can tell that the person you are with is not a good person, but you are desperate to get married. Do not settle, be careful who you choose, the person you choose as a life partner will make a huge difference in your life. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it will make all the difference, there are good men out there.”
The writer’s words sparked a range of reactions from young women, who shared their experiences and perspectives.
Here are some of the responses:
@alhaja_wendy said, “Well said, who you choose to marry will affect your destiny either positively or negatively.”
@her_majesteeze reacted, “She spoke facts, who you choose to marry will affect your destiny.”

A viral video has sparked strong reactions online after a landlord packed out the belongings of a tenant who was allegedly kidnapped months ago after travelling to his village in Imo state.
In the video, shared by @ChuksEricE on X (formerly Twitter), neighbors revealed that the tenant had been missing for an extended period, and no family member or friend came forward to renew the rent.

I Was Bullied Into Supporting Tinubu – Nollywood Actress, Bimbo Akintola Opens Up (Video)
Bimbo Akintola, the Nollywood actress, has explained why she remains a steadfast supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The movie star, who supported Tinubu during the last election, explained that she increased her support for the then-APC candidate because an opposition supporter bullied her over her choice of Tinubu.
She claimed that her increased support for Tinubu was to spite her bully.
Speaking in a recent episode of With Chude, Akintola urged Nigerians to respect other people’s political choices and opinions.
“I supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election because somebody annoyed me with their bullying.
“Nigerians are annoying. Don’t bully other people. We have our rights to differences of opinion. You don’t like this man [Tinubu], cool, you have the right not to like him. You prefer this person, good for you. But don’t bully others.
“They bullied aunty Joke [Silva] to the point that someone wrote something that was so inhumane. So, I made a video and said, ‘I’m also supporting Tinubu, kill me, let me see if you can change my mind.’
“We need to stop bullying. We need to agree that we can never agree with everybody. That’s what makes us great and beautiful. If we are all the same, it would be a boring life. Till tomorrow, you might not agree that he was the best person for the job, but at that point, that was who I wanted, that was who I voted for. You can’t take my voice away from me; it’s mine,” she expressed.
