Death of a father | James Nwoye ADICHIE June 10, 2020 (aged 42 years) Age: 88 Note: Award winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,shared on her Instagram, an emotional tribut… Award winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,shared on her Instagram, an emotional tribute to her late father, Professor James Nwoye Adichie, on Saturday, July 4, 2020, along with a video compilation of some of their memories together. Sharing the pains of his death, Adichie in her tribute, recalls speaking to him in good health, few days before his death on Wednesday, June 10, 2020. She shared that she loved her father so much that she was never prepared for his passing, so it broke her. “Because I loved my father so much, so fiercely, so tenderly, I always at the back of my mind feared this day. But he was in good health. I thought we had time. I thought it wasn’t yet time. I have come undone. I have screamed, shouted, rolled on the floor, pounded things. I have shut down parts of myself.” Professor James Nwoye Adichie, Nigeria’s first professor of Statistics, who died at 88 years, was described in Chimamanda’s tribute as “A titled Igbo man deeply committed to his hometown. A Roman Catholic with a humane and luminous faith. A gentle man and a gentleman.” Captioning her post, Chimamanda wrote, “I am writing about my father in the past tense, and I cannot believe that I am writing about my father in the past tense. My heart is broken.(Thank you to my darling brother @Chuks_Adichie for this video. Daddy’s kindness lives on in you.)” The late Professor Adichie was a recurring influence in the writer’s career, as she always spoke of how his training helped mold her into who she is now. Our deepest condolences go to the Adichie family as they heal from this loss. |
