Every field of study has enormous roles to play in the quest for good governance and measures towards curbing social vices in society. Each Nigerian literary writer has to pay attention to the experiences prevalent in and peculiar not only to Nigeria but also Africa at large, exposing corrupt practices, impunity, mayhem, erratic economy, epileptic power supply, human trafficking, upward Western migration and my riad of issues plaguing the continent. If the status quo must change, the utilitarian value of literature to reflect and refract the society should come to play. Literary writer must be a chronicler of events and a theorist of permutations geared towards development. This study sets to examine Chimamanda Adichie’s genius in(ter)vention in socio-political realities in Nigeria as mirrored in Americana. Eclectic literary survey of postcolonial, socio-cultural and political creeds forms the theoretical framework on which this paper is predicated. Social life in Nigeria is in the state of comatose−nothing goes well−everything is at the verge of collapse. It is characterised by unfriendly socio-political and economic atmosphere. The outcome is massive migration of Nigerians in search of better life. Paradoxically however, cross border-politics, ethnocentric prejudice and racial discrimination are issues Nigerians face in the diaspora. It is recommended that Nigerians should stay in Nigeria and offer themselves to the supreme change needed.
