@ARealLifeStar Not at all. Just very intrigued. Your description of the read was impactful

[Eghota | African Languages Publishing @EghotaBooks]

@adedayoagarau This is one of the reasons we exist. African literature, African languages— deserve a digital home. Well said ��🏾

[Adedayo Agarau @adedayoagarau]

We don’t speak often enough about the extent to which African literature is often received as ethnographic evidence rather than as art. This anthropological mode of reading reduces complex works to cultural documents that obscure their formal invention, aesthetic intelligence, philosophical range, and literary ambition.

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

You cannot think freely in someone else’s language.

Every nation that industrialized fast Japan, China, South Korea taught science, law, and governance in its own language.

Africa still graduates engineers who can’t explain their work to their own grandmothers.

[Eghota | African Languages Publishing @EghotaBooks]

@Danny456080 👋🏼 That’s exactly why we’re here.

We built a digital home for indigenous languages are treated as first-class. A place where they can be published, preserved, and translated by people who truly speak them.

Every book starts with someone who believes in it.

Hausa is spoken by over 70 million people across West and Central Africa — and the diaspora beyond.

eGHOTA is being built so that every one of those voices has a platform.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — Hausa 🔵

Al’ada /al-AH-dah/
noun— Habit. Custom. A cultural practice observed by a community across generations.

Used in a sentence:
“Al’adar kakanninmu ita ce asalinmu.”
”The customs of our ancestors are our foundation.”

[Eghota | African Languages Publishing @EghotaBooks]

Our languages are not an afterthought. They are the foundation.

We are building a sanctuary for indigenous languages where every macron, underdot, and hook is treated with the reverence it deserves.

This is more than publishing.

eGHOTA preserves.

We are at a moment in history where African languages — living, breathing, ancient languages, are disappearing faster than at any time before.

No Igbo publishing platform.
No Kiswahili-first streaming.
No Hausa-first learning.

Until now.

The Problem We’re Solving
@eGHOTABooks

A thread on what is at stake. 🧵

1/ Africa is home to over 2,000 languages — roughly a third of all languages on earth.

[Eghota | African Languages Publishing @EghotaBooks]

6/ A publishing house. A streaming platform. A language learning app. All in one. All indigenous-first.
