Here’s Why Banky W Is Currently Not Happy With Chimamanda Adichie

Singer Banky W is currently not happy with one of Nigeria’s most celebrated authors, Chimamanda Adichie.

Nigerian novelist and writer, Chimamanda has not been getting a lot of positive reactions for her views, since her ‘wife’ comment over Hillary Clinton’s Twitter bio, while interviewing the former First Lady of the United States at a PEN World Voices Festival lecture at the Cooper Union in Manhattan. So yesterday (June 7), Chimamanda was in the news again after she disclosed her issues with men holding doors for women during a recent chat with Trevor Noah, and he’s since being trolled on the internet.

“I think it is lovely thing to hold the door but we should hold the door for everyone, like i hold the door for men and women. So i think the idea of holding the door for a woman because she is a woman, I think I have trouble with it,” she said in the video.

Banky W has joined other massive number of people who have voiced out their disagreement with the “Half of a Yellow Sun” author’s perspective. The singer and actor who finds it ridiculous commented on Instagram: “Chivalry is done nit because women are a weaker sex, but because some of us want to be gentlemanly and romantic. Apparently, this is not ok to her, but to me, this is just reaching. I’m sorry but this is now getting a little ridiculous. To each his/her own, I guess. Ugh.” Banky is currently in Bauchi State, where he’s shooting a new movie “Up North”.
