Brymo Condemns Chimamanda Adichie’s Rejection Of National Honour

Nigerians slam Brymo for saying Chimamanda Adichie’s acceptance of chieftaincy title dents Igbo’s quest for the presidency
Brymo has criticised Chimamanda Adichie for purportedly rejecting President Muhammadu Buhari’s National Honor and then accepting a chieftaincy title in her birthplace of Abba, Anambra state.
The “Heya” performer referred to the refusal as “blackmail” and added that it is an insult to Peter Obi, an Igbo candidate for president in the next 2023 election.
“Chimamanda refusing national honours, yet accepting chieftaincy title in her village, is a jab to Peter Obi’s race. She’s an eastern mother. She’s that important. This conversation is not about elections,” Brymo said in a Twitter space.
The vocal musician continued, “It’s about our collective healing. It would have been nice if Chimamanda took the award, then stated her reasons. [Like] ‘They gave me this award. I shouldn’t have taken it because Biafra is not healed, but I did for the youth.’”
“She shouldn’t have rejected it just like that. It doesn’t affect the rest of us as it affects the Igbo presidency and Peter Obi. Seeking the office, yet rejecting things from it is blackmail. I will be happy if we can just forgive yourselves,” he added.
Chimamanda refused to grace or accept the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) award ceremony on October 11, 2022.
Dr. Reuben Abati, has a message for that failed musician, called “Brymo,” concerning his fatuous remarks on Chimamanda’s chieftaincy title.
