Award-winning author #ChimamandaAdichie recently received the chieftaincy title of Odeluwa (Writer for the World) from Igwe Leonard Nwankwo Eze, the traditional head of her community, Abba in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State. The title was given to Chimamanda as part of the royal father's Ofala Eze-Abba 22, which simultaneously marked his 80th birthday and the 45th anniversary of his coronation.
Chimamanda Adichie, who was accompanied by her husband and other members of her family and friends, described the title as very remarkable and a challenge to her to do more for her community.
She said: “It is a blessing to me. I accepted this honour because of my parents. This honour is very unique and I am very happy. It is a challenge for me to do more for my community.
Chimamanda becomes the first female chief in her hometown
