3. Journalist who visited Chimamanda Adichie's house speaks

A journalist recently shared her findings after visiting the home of Nigerian-American author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

The story, published in The Guardian UK by journalist Charlotte Edwardes, shared details about Adichie's private life that had not been publicly known before.

During her visit to Adichie's home in Baltimore, USA, Edwardes observed Adichie's nine-year-old daughter working on homework while the twins played under the supervision of a nanny.

The twins, 10 months old at the time, were a surprise to Edwardes, who had read about Adichie's life but had not known about the new additions to her family.

Adichie explained that she preferred to keep her personal life private, citing the curiosity of Nigerians as a reason.

She said:

"You’ve met my babies. I want to protect my children. I’m OK with having them mentioned, but I don’t want the piece to become about them.”

Adichie further elaborated on her preference for keeping her personal life out of the spotlight, stating:

“So, here’s the thing, Nigerians are … ” Nosy? “They want to know about your personal life. Because of that, I am resistant. I very rarely talk about it.”
