Chimamnda and husband, Dr Ivara Esaga
Creative writer, Chimamanda Adichie has asked to be addressed as a Ms, and not a Mrs.
In an interview with Sun Newspaper, Chimamanda told the interviewer who addressed her as Mrs. Chimamanda Adichie, to do away with the title and address simply address her as Chimamanda Adichie.
An excerpt from the interview!
“Before we start (the interview), please, I just
want to say that my name is Chimamanda Adichie. That’s how I want it; that’s
how I’m addressed, and it is not Mrs but Miss. Ms: that’s how I want it. I am
saying this, because I just got a mail from my manager this morning. It seems
that there are people who attended the church service, and they wrote about it,
addressing me as Mrs. Chimamanda (Esega). I didn’t like that at all. So my name
is Chimamanda Adichie, full stop!”
What do you think, is this all part of being more a part of Western dispensation or....?
