'I never said I’m Biafran’ – Chimamanda Adichie

Award-winning writer, Chimamanda Adichie has dissociated herself from statements about Biafra.

Sometime last months a certain report went viral that the ‘Purple Hibiscus’ author made statements that she was Biafran.

Here’s what she wrote on Facebook to debunk the rumour;

This headline below, and other similar headlines, which appeared on some websites: are false. They are completely invented; along with some accompanying quotes which have been attributed to me. I did not say or write those words.
