The nation is on the verge of catastrophic collapse, according to literary legend Chimamanda Adichie, and heroes are needed to save it.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Adichie made this statement on Monday during her keynote speech at the 62nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, which is taking place in Lagos.
The country, according to Adichie, who spoke as a conference guest, is divided and in chaos, and only a legitimate candidate can save it.

She also bemoaned the nation’s escalating instability and economic catastrophe as the 2033 elections approach.
She said, “Nigeria is in disarray; things are hard and getting harder by the day. We can’t be safe when there is no rule of law. Nigerians are starved of heroes to look up to.
“Late Dora Akunyili and Gani Gawehimmi were heroes that Nigerians looked up to before now. Unfortunately, that era has gone. I believe that NBA is in a position to give the nation heroes that we can look up to lead the nation.’’
The author stressed the importance of justice to peace and unity.
She said: “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 argued that many Nigerians who have misused their power would consider the NBA to be problematic.
Adichie urged the NBA to use technology to improve the country’s administration of justice and called for an incorruptible judicial system.
“As the NBA continues to fight the abuse of power, it must also look inward not to be corrupted”
