Chimamanda Adichie has taken to her Instagram page to write an emotional tribute to her late father who died on 10th June, 2020 at the age of 88. In addition, she posted a video which was a collection of memories shared with her father. She, however, gave her brother, Chuks Adichie the video credit and said he took their father’s kindness.
The writer penned down the adorable moments they shared together and how unprepared emotionally she was when he died. She described her father as “a gentle man and a gentleman.” “For those who know him, these words recur: honest, calm, kind, strong, quiet, integrity.”
