This woman is a blessing to the Africans and every other oppressed content in the world

Chimamanda is a very brave woman, I am very much proud of you as an African man and Namibian, the truth will never change, we must call a spider and spider, Europe is one of the most evil continent on earth, even God knows, I did not wanted to comment on this topic but it touches my heart and soul, even if Europe tries to escape their ugly history in Africa under the pretext of not trying to dwell in the past, it will never change, Europe is just full of ignorance

Thank you so much sister Chimamanda! A voice and example of courage to be followed in the motherland. From my diasporic experience, I cannot only say 'kudos' sister for your courage! Black woman power!

Chimamanda is a world class African asset. Periodt.

Dear Chimamanda.. it's only very recently I learned about you.. but I am mesmerized by your confidence and the way you convey the truth in a simple and more convincing way with such stable and strong way. I want to read more of your books and want to show my 4 year old daughter how confident and strong a women should be!

This woman’s whole vibe is absolutely mesmerizing.

This Woman says such powerful words I like her a lot☺️❤️

From Ghana: I can listen to your brilliant expose ten times a day without getting tired. Indichie, you are exceptionally brilliant, witty , charming and powerful. As a Freedom fighter,. you continue to make Africa and all peoples who suffer brute exploitation proud and hopeful. You powerful voice can never be ignored. You have truly won the hearts of many including mine. Thank you , Jah bless.

Very moving very deep! Thank you!

I love you mama, your courage to nail the important point is superb. African arts belongs to Africa, simple

Europe has developed a way telling the story of its colonial history!

I love to hear this beautiful intelligent sister speak

Are they listening or pretending? What a stunning message!

For peace to be, there must be justice. No Justice without Truth. Then come apologise, restitution, forgiveness reconciliation and progress. Chimamanda is World class

Well spoken my lady...Africa will get there one day

I do enjoy listening to this very intelligent And fearless woman

I was just shaking whilst listening. I felt it within my bones. Mama Afrika 😭😭

It’s not just you, it’s me, it’s all of us! Thank you beautiful beautiful message from you!

Uncomfortable truth told with poise, brilliance and courage by a gifted, African beauty. Thank you, Chimamanda, you make us all proud!

What a magnificent woman and speaker

I would love Chimamanda to talk about Americans making it illegal to teach our history! We can never overcome racism if we ban learning about it! Teaching about the long, long history of slavery, Jim Crow, black codes, redlining, mass incarceration and more is necessary to heal in the U.S.

Speaking like a QUEEN OF QUEEN's,,,.

What a brilliant young African lady!Speak the truth without stumbling,it’s time the European leaders own to the wrongs done by their ancestors.Teach in schools the truth so our young ones knows the truth of what happened,God has bless you with Wisdom,Knowledge & Understanding.I’m proud of you beautiful lady 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

I am proud to be a Nigerian and African. Thank you Chimamanda❤️

What a timely and poignant presentation, Ms. Adichie! Thank you! I am a white American male who has just come back home from a marvelous four-week tour of Namibia. While there, I was taken aback by the presence of monuments extolling the actions of the German Imperial soldiers who were instrumental in the deaths of the 100,000 native Herero and Nama people in what was then German Southwest Africa. I visited the field located on the edge of the city of Swakopmund containing the unmarked graves of hundreds of Herero and Nama. Meanwhile, in the center of the city, there is a large monument unveiled in 1908 dedicated to the memory of the German Imperial soldiers who slaughtered the Hereros and Nama in the years 1904-1908. I NEVER KNEW this about Germany. German rule of what is now Namibia ended 117 years ago, and these monuments ARE STILL ON DISPLAY! I saw first-hand the "German nostalgia for Imperial times" which you have just referred to. This is especially strong in Swakopmund. It is insulting to all present-day Namibians, especially to the descendants of the murdered Herero and Nama. Germany definitely owes present-day Namibia restitution. Restitution, NOT loans! It is time for the white man, be he American, Canadian, or European, to right the historical wrongs which our ancestors perpetrated on the non-white world.

Man, this gal is dropping some bombs!!

One can understand the Western & European colonial powers wants to forget and just to move on, but unfortunately some European nations are not acting in a good faith. We are still seeing European greed & extreme corruptions, and they are repeating similar old colonial behaviors filled with all type of oppressions, political pressures, proxy wars, assassinations, Market monopolies, degrading African nations, land occupations, and continuing to steal the natural resources of Africa, Middle East, South America, and some asian small nations. Europe needs first to show good faith by real action and not by words. Europeans must teach the true history worldwide, followed by returning the stolen arts & stolen resources, and to help build These nations in Africa and all over the world to bring equality & justice free of biases, and to let the diverse free world to improve humanity and to build a much better civilized world for all humanity. The healing can all be done in the right way and then we all can move on to protect such history and to build our planet earth. At the end we are all living a temporary life and we hope to leave a good legacy for the new generations to come.

She is so smart and well articulated. This is what the world needs, more thinkers.

Thank you and massive respect to Chimamanda. AFRICA UNITE!

Some comments from the people who have benefited from stolen wealth can be very arrogant, flaunting their riches to the world while expecting the people they have looted to remain silent. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, you are our queen, intelligent and beautiful!

One thing l know for certain is Africa will rise . We will remember what they did to us and still do to us. Be patient my people, black people all over the world.

Thanks, Chimamanda for being our voice.

Simply amazing. Awesome delivery. Always.

"A story is true only when it is complete "

This Beautiful Queen is a blessing and a Gift...the blessing being her ability to express the perspective of the silenced so eloquently while Gifting those of us lacking the Educational background an insight into our History when haven't had excess to...All Praises be to the Honor of this Queen Presence in our Lifetime 🖤🤎🖤🤎❣

Absolutely brilliant woman .

Never forget,and they should all pay reparation and release Africa of the colonial debt.

As the late great Dr. Maya Angelou once said “a half truth is an entire lie”

Thank you Ngozi Sending you lots of love from Namibia 🇳🇦

This is a beautiful lady, I am so glad my walk coincides with hers. I hope our journeys see Black people progress all over world. Thank you!

I'm in love and in Awe!!!! If only I could be near women of such beauty, intelligence, and awareness in Brooklyn, NY! I would be the happiest man on Earth!!

Now I understand why They never wanted Africans to learn to read and Write.tell them Black Queen.....we are tired of their Avarice and Condescending attitudes...

She's an African writer painting the real picture of events, how is that termed revenge? She's bold and head on on the problem. Outlined the illness and the remedy too💯.THE PROBLEM AFRICA HAS IS EUROPE ERASING BRUTAL HISTORY AND PRETENDING AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. Why can't she speak for Latinos, Asians or any other ethnicity?, she's African that's her creative space, that's her cup of tea. Thank you for giving a voice to the voiceless.

We as black people should know our history but many of us been mislead by western education and media. I was born here in Canada, my parents from Jamaica while my great great grandmother from old Kongo Kingdom. So when I hear about Belgian genocide King Leopold I take it personally.

Remember Walter Rodney Book How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. I read that book.

This woman is an African hero

A modern day Griot personifying grace, dignity and courage. A world treasure.

Wow. Beautiful speech. European here. I completely agree with her 100%. I think European countries should return many art and important pieces to the countries they were stolen from. The UK, France, Germany, Spain and many other countries have stolen pieces and display them on their museums. It's a disgrace. The British Museum, for instance, wouldn't be the same at all without those pieces. I mean, without those pieces they could probably keep the 'British' in the name without being questioned as an authentic 'British' museum. Also the history part she was talking about is completely true. Me as a Canarian (Canary Islands) know this still happens today in a daily basis. Canarian kids are not told the full story of the Guanches in school. The Guanches are the aboriginal ancestors from the Canaries that were ultimately exterminated. There was a genocide, the same as there was in Spanish speaking Latin American countries. Men were mostly killed or sold as slaves the same as many women and kids. Some women were forced to marry Spaniards or European citizens. That's why many Canarians still have some mitochondrial DNA that comes from their female Guanches ancestors. Kids are told in history class a lot about the Spanish kings, queens and colonial 'possessions' in a way that looks like a nice fairy tale. It's disgusting. What about the history of our true ancestors who were Berbers from Northern Africa, established in the Canaries in the first millennium BCE? Some part of the history is told but not the way we'd like or with the same importance we'd like. They just reserve a bit of the last chapters of the history books to tell kids about the aboriginals and the massacre they suffered by the end of the year. That way kids can forget quickly about it. They also don't talk about any massacre but about a discovery and conquest. Hahaha. They are trying to erase and change our past and culture and nobody cares about it. Only the ones who want to keep their history alive keep pushing to educate future generations our true history. Today as a Canarian you can only be properly informed of your ancestors and history if you inform yourself. There are Guanches mummies outside the Canaries in Madrid, Cambridge, Paris, Germany and Canada among probably other places. That needs to be returned the same as any other archaeological rests that are kept outside the Canaries. Many African countries are full of a European influence that reminds to colonialism still today. It's a shame. Let's hope this can change in a near future. They need more education and people like her who can demand their right to be respected and left alone. Unfortunately Africa is full of corrupted politicians who need to be taken out of power by the African population the same as some remaining regimes. Then the wealth has to be distributed among the population via social politics to create a healthy educated and dignified population.

American Imam Warith Mohammed said " you cannot expect a thief to return stolen goods." A society that does not embrace the virtue of honesty can't possibly be trusted to have the capacity to be generous. The fact that many European institutions fail to properly acknowledge their own history could only mean the distortion of others. I think that we must for as long as others lack an interest in right guidance stop expecting others to act with right guidance. All this said I am encouraged by the fact that not all Europeans were involved in slave trading and colonization but for the most part the EU has benefited from it by it's modern trade relations and those more responsible European countries should take a lead on the future of Europe.

Fantastic speech!! And so so true.... Europe should be embarrassed!

Bravo! She speaks for every people that has been a victim of imperialism and colonialism. She speaks for justice, fairness and human decency with superb eloquence and irrefutable logic. Listening to her speech fills my heart with admiration and hope. Bravo!

We have a responsibility to teach our children our real history in our own homes.We need to be honest and encourage our children to do their own research concerning our past and present.We should not let other people tell our true stories!👍🙏🙏

“We cannot change the past, but we can change our blindness to the past” ___ Chimamanda Adichie Do not claim to be saviours while denying your brutal days in the past. Chimamanda Adichie is a rare gem in our generation. Very objective in all her views. Wallahi kin gama aiki .

I'm Chinese and I would say they are just like the Japanese. They still don't want to face the shame of what their forebears did to ours.

I love the courage and intellect of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The world should know one fact...We will never allow the world to forget what Europe and America did to Africa. Never!

Thank you Chimamanda

YOU GO REAL QUEEN.

Chimamanda Adichie BRILLIANT speech. GOD BLESS HER. There is a God, noone will escape God's Judgement.

I loved this speech, informative and eye-opening. Also, close to my heart, considering that a great percentage of Italian artifacts all over the world were indeed stolen

Thank you Chimamanda. I can sense the nervousness standing in front of vultures, so props to you.

Europe did our ancestors bad here in the Caribbean. We will never forget the land of our ancestors.

You Tell The Truth Sister. Bless You, and Your Historical Truth. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

My dearest Chimamanda, my daughter will listen to your speeches. I love how you deliver the African story and pain calmly yet bluntly.

This lady is great ! Content and delivery perfect.

Chimamanda in the "Lion's Den".

I can tell by how quiet the audience is that it was hard for them to sit there and listen and hear the truth from this beautiful woman explaining everything from her beautiful voice

We shall never forget what they did to us. We shall tell our generations the story of the wickedness of the West in Africa.

Total respect. It take courage to say such things to such assembly. well done and we'll say. thank you for this inspirational speech

They will clap hands and carry on with their lives as though they watched a theatrical piece

Chimamanda merely holds a mirror for Europeans today to look at themselves.

We as fba of black americans, support this. Foundational black american, are here.

Admirable speech

She's courageous and making so much sense! I am Chinese and I am with her. The west should tell about their colonialism history in details and admit the wrong doings and should return our precious ancient arts. And especially stop the neo-colonization in poor countries like African or others!

Chimamanda is a teacher for all time. Thank you for the illumination

Daughter of the soil. I greet you! Even the English Queen's crown was stolen from AFRICA. Kenya, East Africa and Africa are proud of you, Chimamanda Ngozi A. and PLO Lumumba. May you live long.

This woman is so incredible!!!

This woman ❤️🙏🏾

Thank you for bringing us this brilliant essay. This woman's intellct is a gift to the integrity she so well represents. She continues to inspire me

.. The Germans apologize and pay yearly.compensations to Israel for the Haulocost but in the case of their Massacres in Africa they would say no that was another thing

I love this woman, I thank Beyonce for letting me get to know who she was.

Power is : ability to delay the revelation of truth until it lost its relevance and then invite the people to discuss it, teach about morality without any consequences.

Love this women, from Ethiopia....I saw you first in my school(Europe). I hope they also show this video to future generationn.

Hi miss Africa i lift my hat to you you have courage and guts to show the colonizer who they realy are and you do it in style with class

The same goes for the United States! I love love love listening to Chimamanda speak.

A people who do not learn from their history are doomed to repeat it.

Hata wakijaribu unafiki wao hatutosahau. Waafrika tuko pamoja milele daima.

Beautifully said!

The Three Nigerian women i so much respect are Dr. Chiamanda Achebe, Dr. Ngozi Okunjo-iwuala and Late Dr. Dora Akuwili of Nafdac

What an amazing speech!!! 👏

Not surprised people are in the comments supporting Europe's vicious pillage of Africa...they can never take accountability for the grave adverse effects of colonialism and neo-colonialism...a shame

My African Hebrew heritage can never be erased, as long as my people and I continue like the elders of old, to tell our history to our children. And never ever again let anyone else tell our beautiful story. And all the museums of the world need to return all of our treasures that they STOLE from our ancestors!!! And from now on, we need our own institutions and schools of higher learning, immediately.

What European countries have to do is simple. Build or fund museums in the countries of origin and give back their artefacts. Then negotiate an exchange of artefacts. Let Kamerun exhibit Roman ,Medieval , early modern pieces and get artefacts from the Shum Laka digs or the Sao civilization to show in exchange. True cultural exchange is the basis for cultural appreciation. It will also be an incentive because exhibitions will be more special once in a life time chances to experience a culture you do not have the resources to visit.

You are a genius, salute

Chimamanda!!! Chimamanda!!!! Thank you, thank, thank you....

I wonder the less number of likes this intelligent queen got....but if it comes to music psnd none sense enjoyment, there would be millions of likes.... I pray we live to learn... We should change our bad attitude in nowadays society while other races are serious... Thank u queen for this wonderful speech

Wow.. what a good speech. Did western media cnn and BBC broadcast this?

Non of the audience members have ever heard such English and such intellect

She is so eloquent, I can listen to her share her views endlessly. She is admirably taking back what’s been ours all along. Colonialism has caused generational trauma. This needs to be responsibly accepted and atoned. A fan from 🇩🇪🇵🇰

Ngozi, anytime I listen to you - I'm encourage that your works here on earth have just started. You're really the hope and embodiment of hope to make the world a better place. Europeans read the same bible verse that says "there shall be no slave, no master..." yet in a unanimous decision they enslaved Africans for over 571 years. They stole and continued to steal and kill Africans in thousands. The sacrifice continues because the innocent Africans chilfren who are ridden of dieasses and uneducated sacrificed their lives and comfort for generations of Europeans. I just hope that Europe and the "West" carry the stolen goods and blood of Africans children to their graves or their heaven, which is not same have the Almighty God lives in.... May the judgement of God be true - the lamb of God - Africans of today!
