Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani, author of  I Do Not Come to You by Chance and winner of Commonwealth Writers Prize interviewed by African Writing:

Right now, I’m more concerned about influencing young people, especially in my country and in Africa, to think differently. We must not continue with the same thought patterns that have kept our continent so far behind the rest of humanity in many ways. Preserving and projecting our cultures is wonderful, but a deeper form of love for our people and for the places we come from, is demanding change when it will move us forward.
