Buhari, Ezekwesili, Chimamanda Adichie Make Time’s 100 Influential Persons List
Nigeria’s President-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, leader of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, Obiageli Ezekwesili and award-winning novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie have been named among the Time Magazine’s 100 influential persons list in the world.
The leader of the dread Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau also made the list.
Chimamanda Adichie was described as Conjurer of character, in an essay by Deputy Managing editor of TIME, Radhika Jones.
“A MacArthur “genius” grant recipient, Adichie writes of the complex aftermath of Nigeria’s colonial history and her nation’s rise to prominence in an era when immigration to the West no longer means a one-way ticket,” Jones noted of Adichie.
