Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has just been given the 2025 Sjöjungfrun (The Mermaid) Literary Prize at Gothenburg Book Fair in Sweden. She recently also won the Felix Jud Prize in Hamburg, and in a few weeks she’s set to receive the Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence in London. Possibly the best African writer since 2000.

David Hundeyin@DavidHundeyin·
I've realised something recently. When I worked on projects like this and Cornflakes For Jihad, which focused on violence in Nigeria's Middle Belt and North, various people got various mistaken mistaken ideas. Some people thought I was on "their" side as in Biafran separatism or Igbo ethnic nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in Christian nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in disliking Muslims or wanting to balkanise Nigeria into multiple fragments. For the avoidance of doubt, let me state what my ACTUAL agenda for Nigeria was, still is, and will always be: My agenda is to use radical truth-telling to force Nigeria to confront its problems and solve them, instead of slowly dying of them. My style is to look at issues square in the face, and speak to the core of the matter without fear or favour. I am not a Christian nationalist (I am actually atheist and I think Christianity is a dangerous colonial insertion which has made African cultures weak, disunited, lacking in strategic focus, and easily exploitable). I am not a Biafran separatist (While I acknowledge that genocide against Igbo people was carried out during the so-called civil war between 1967 and 1970, I also know that the war itself was externally instigated, and was in fact a postcolonial proxy war between the British and the French with Israeli involvement on both sides, and I know that breaking up a country with as much potential for African power as Nigeria over a solvable ethnic grudge would be among the top 3 dumbest things Africans have ever done). I don't hate Muslims (I believe that Islam, like Christianity, weakens African unity because it is not indigenous to Africa, and African Muslims historically have a weird habit of identifying first as 'Muslim' before 'African', which has had real consequences before, but I also acknowledge that like Christianity, Islam is definitely not leaving Africa anytime soon and I have to live with that reality). Finally and most importantly, I am not an ethnic nationalist of any type. I abhor the idea of fragmenting large African countries into some more useless, weak, feudal ethnostates with zero international leverage and no sovereignty, as if we don't have nearly 50 of those already. I believe that aggregation of Africa's resources, trading area, political relations, technology and manpower across this vast rich continent is the only meaningful way forward for African people in Africa and the diaspora. I have been fortunate enough to live a fairly privileged life which has allowed me to travel the world extensively and understand how it actually works. The reality of the world - no matter how disappointing some Nigerians may find it - is that "David Chukwuemeka Ajayi," a Christian from Edo, and "Idris Yusuf Mohammed," a Muslim from Kano are exactly the same in the eyes of those who run the planet. David and Idris might not like each other because of the different religions they are carrying on their heads, but the unfortunate reality is that THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE. The world only sees "Africans" and does not give a single shit about whatever extra identity exists above that. A Kanuri woman from Borno and a Zulu man from KwaZulu Natal in South Africa have the exact same political identity in the eyes of those who actually matter in this world. That is the reality of the world, and that is why I am a Pan Africanist - it's not because I don't recognise Africa's obvious diversity. It's simply that I understand that in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous for us, the only chance for survival that we have as a country and as a continent is to work together. And if your vision of working together doesn't include Christians, Muslims, animists, ATR people, atheists and whoever else shares your common destiny as an African, then rest assured that we are all going to die as divided fools, and other people will take our land. As I always say, whenever you wake up is your own morning.

Yesterday, I had the rare and humbling honor of delivering a Keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 2025 @unitednations games. It was my first official invite to a United Nations conference as a special guest so It all felt surreal. When I learned I’d be speaking alongside sporting legends like MannyPacquiao, Giorgio Chiellini to a room of esteemed ambassadors and diplomats steering the fate of nations , I felt a wave of nerves and doubt. But as I stepped into the conference room, a quiet truth anchored me: I belonged here. Not despite my journey, but because of it. And my experiences and stories were just as valid as anyone else’s. I spoke about the universal language of chess and how it transcends borders, race, class and even disability. I stood in the gap for the children and shared how, through our work @thegiftofchess and @chessinslums , we are using this game not just to educate and teach strategy, but to help every child believe they belong, and that there’s a place for them in the world. As my speech came to a close, I invited the children and my friend Russ to join me on stage. We had flown into New York together from Atlanta and had to run through the crazy NYC traffic to make it just in time for my speech. The spotlight wasn’t just mine—it was theirs too. And in a moment I will never forget, one of the young girls took the microphone and gave a speech so heartfelt, that the entire room rose in applause. I felt really proud as they didn’t just share the spotlight with me, they ignited it and showed that given the right opportunity, they can also shine on the world’s biggest stages. Their story is fast becoming one the world can no longer ignore. My heart is full, our dreams are truly valid.
