She said make up possess wonderful possibilities for temporary transformation and a `good shade of lipstick can always put you in a slightly better mood on dark days.

The author whose father, a retired Professor of Statistics, was kidnapped four weeks ago said she still could not sleep well at night because of the incident, although he had been freed after they paid a ransom.

She told them to expect that their standardised ideologies would not always hold or fit their lives - because life is messy.

She told the students that she abandoned medical school, and her plan to become a Psychiatrist, in order to write about her parents only to run after just one year.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie revealed that trying to write has proved rewarding for her, having been the recipient of a few Prices, some of which come with shiny presents. 

She said if there was a lesson in what she did, it was to `try'.  She said they should not be afraid to `try'. All you need to do is just `try'.

"You have already been given all the tools you need to try - just try." she told the students.
