Chimamanda Adichie: Nigeria lacks heroes to inspire youths
Nigeria, according to prize-winning author Chimamanda Adichie, is "starved" of heroes to motivate its people, especially the young.

The author gave a keynote presentation on Monday at the Nigerian Bar Association's (NBA) current annual general conference in Lagos state.

Nigeria has recently encountered a number of difficulties, including issues with its government, the economy, sociopolitical issues, and insecurity.

The author claimed in her comment that it is now challenging for young Nigerians to find mentors.

“We are starved of heroes. Our young people do not find people to look up to anymore,” she said.

The writer also enjoined Nigerians to embrace self-criticism to foster transparency and good governance in the country.

“As long as we refuse to untangle the knot of injustice, peace cannot thrive. If we don’t talk about it, we fail to hold leaders accountable and we turn what should be transparent systems into ugly opaque cults,” she added.
