A Nigerian senator Shehu Sani took to social media to share an incident involving his spouse. He revealed on Twitter that his wife got angry when he expressed his admiration for Nigerian writer Chimamanda Adichie against her preference for Nigerian poet Wole Soyinka.

Shehu Sani also commented on the political situation in Nigerian, stating that supporters of opposition parties are criticizing Soyinka for his comments on the 2023 presidential and vice presidential candidates, While supporters of the ruling party are attacking Adichie for her criticism of Bola Ahmed Tinubu's victory in the 2023 presidential election.

Shehu Sani went on to state that this development shows that literary giants are now part of Nigeria's political discourse, which is a positive development that other African countries are not privileged to have.
Finally, Sani shared that women can be hard to understand, as he mentioned that his wife was okay with his preference for Adichie but suddenly became angry when he expressed it.

Shehu Sani's tweet offers insight into the complexities of gender dynamics and preferences in relationships/marriages.
Moreover, his comments on the political situation in Nigerian suggest that the country's political climate is becoming increasingly polarized, with literary figures taking sides in political battles.
Sani's acknowledgment of the privileged position of Nigerian in terms of literary giants contributing to political discourse in the country could also be seen as a point of national pride.
