Renowned Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has drawn a striking comparison between former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration and the often-criticized political systems in parts of Africa.
In a recent interview with CBC, the Americanah author expressed her disillusionment with the direction of American politics, stating that the Trump era reminded her of the type of leadership commonly associated with African nations marked by corruption and authoritarianism.
“America no longer feels aspirational to me,” Adichie said. “The current administration just feels like a Nigerian government. It really does feel like America is being governed by an ‘African Big Man.’”
Adichie’s remarks highlight her concern over the erosion of democratic norms and the rise of strongman politics in the United States, drawing parallels to similar patterns she has observed in African governance.
