Chimamanda Adichie's Meme on Feminism Sparks Negative Trend on Twitter
Chimamanda Adichie has become the face of feminism in Nigeria with her talks, interviews and most recently her book, Americanah. For a lot of self-identifying feminists including myself, she has made the topic interesting and one for our generation.

Helen Ukpabio is known in Nigeria and other circles as the Lady Apostle, but her apostleship is not to spread the gospel, but to liberate those under spiritual attacks.

Fact Checking The School Girls Kidnapped by Boko Haram by Viola Okorie
