Here's why Nigerian writer Chimamanda Adichie regrets not becoming a US citizen

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian writer and author has disclosed in a recent interview that she regrets not becoming an American citizen when she had the opportunity to.

According to her, her home country, Nigeria really frustrates her, and she would have loved to be a citizen of another country as well.

She made the statement in a chat with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Bounce Radio.

“She’s Nigerian but Nigeria deeply frustrates her. She came to the immediate realization that she doesn’t have to be a dutiful daughter or citizen despite wanting to share in the average experience of an average Nigerian. She made the choice of not being a US citizen which she deeply regrets,” she said.

Chimamanda further revealed that she’s waiting for President Trump to fully leave the presidential office before she can apply to be a US citizen.
