This is why Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is only wearing Nigerian brands

Her outfits will be documented on a newly created Instagram page managed by her nieces, Chisom and Amaka.

Adichie announced her decision in a post on her Facebook page Monday, where she blamed the government’s “disastrous economic policy” for the decline in the country’s currency, but said she saw the “Buy Nigerian to Grow the Naira” rhetoric as a “silver lining.”

“In the past few weeks, I’ve bought more Nigerian brands than I ever have in the past… I’ve been filled with admiration for the women and men running their businesses despite the many challenges they face. I’m particularly interested in ‘inward-looking’ brands, those for whom dressing Nigerian women is as important as other goals,” Adichie wrote.
