As far as purity of diction, fine wit, crushing satire against a clueless government and a general sympathy with suffering of parents of the abducted Chibok girls are concerned, Chimamanda Adichie certainly reminds us of the great Danish writer; Hans Christian Andersen in The Emperors New Clothes. But there the comparison ceases. Chimamanda employed all her resources of wit and satire against the president’s advisers, and the superstitions and lies in which they trade The opinion piece is most sincere in its representation, least artificial in diction, most penetrating in its satire, most just in its criticism of art and style. Simply brilliant!
