FEMINISM! Freeze attacks Chimamanda Adichie over Hillary Clinton’s ‘wife’ twitter bio

Freeze, Adichie, Clinton



Controversial on-air personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly called Daddy Freeze, has expressed his grievance at Nigerian born writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, over Hillary Clinton’s ‘wife’ twitter bio.

“Now I’m somewhere in the vesica pisces, torn between the enormous respect I had for the quality of your work and anger for what you are beginning to brandish, Freeze wrote”.

Freeze said that though he is not a fan of Hillary Clinton, however, Adichie can ‘never’ achieve the status of the 70-year-old former US presidential aspirant.

Further taking a jab at the award-winning writer Freeze said “could your utterances be stemming from inadequacies you need to attend to? You might consider investigating this”.

Adichie, on Sunday, interviewed former US presidential aspirant, Hillary Clinton at a PEN World Voices Festival. During the interview, she asked Clinton why her twitter bio read ‘wife’ before anything else.

The Twitter bio reads, “Wife, mom, grandma, women+kids advocate, FLOTUS, Senator, SecState, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, 2016 presidential candidate”.

Commenting on it, Adichie said to Clinton:

“In your Twitter account, the first word that describes you is ‘wife’. And when I saw that, I have to confess that I felt just a little bit upset.

“And then I went and I looked at your husband’s Twitter account, and the first word was not ‘husband’.”

Taking the criticism as constructive, Clinton replied, “When you put it like that, I’m going to change it”.

Netizens have since debated the question, most people criticising the writer.

“Dear Chimamanda, I used to be a huge fan until I read your interview with Hillary Clinton.

“Now I’m somewhere in the vesica pisces, torn between the enormous respect I had for the quality of your work and anger for what you are beginning to brandish.

“Let me set the record straight, I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, so I’m not jumping in as her guardian angel. As a matter of fact, I completely disagree with most of the decisions she took while in office.

“Besides this, however, woman to woman, what Hillary has achieved, in my opinion, you NEVER CAN, ‘no be beans’, so you suggesting how she should be addressed is what we Yorubas call ‘Iwosi’.

“Even Obama refers to himself as a dad first, husband second, so what’s your point exactly? Why can’t Hillary be addressed as wife first, if she so chooses?

“Could your utterances be stemming from inadequacies you need to attend to? You might consider investigating this.

“Now, let me warn you, there are no dividing forces greater than colour, race, gender and tribe. These factors continue to ensure humanity remains segregated. This table you are shaking has vast consequences even you didn’t bargain for.

“People have been over the last two years, urging me to preach about Jesus being black and I never have, do you know why? Because I DONT CARE ABOUT HIS COLOR, it’s irrelevant, I care about HIS MESSAGE!

“In the same vein, I follow you simply because of your message, NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR GENDER OR COLOR OR TRIBE. So kindly keep the focus on the message, which in my opinion is excellent.

“Don’t mar it by demarcating yourself into a ‘gender’, unless of course, you are employing this as a marketing tool, which, please be warned, has its own repercussions! ~FRZ.”
