@realeverywriter Reading will help you understand genre, pacing etc. and allow you to see how language is being used and why it is/isn't effective.
Storytelling may come naturally but it's the use of language in written form that you focus on mastering as a writer. That is what reading allows.

Everyday I step out on the streets of Maiduguri, I see children who are engaged in various forms of #ChildLabour. There is a heavy burden on me to help them. At this time I can't, but I know very soon, I'll pick young and vibrant children off the streets to become better persons
Despite feeling cold, it’s so important to drink a lot of water. Harmattan is actually dry weather so don’t wait until you feel thirsty!
Drink room temperature or warm water!
Warriors please stop drinking ice cold water! You know yourselves oh 🙃
The cold weather being felt across Nigeria often triggers crisis in sickle cell warriors. A sharp change in temperature causes pains usually in the joints and it can be excruciating 😖 Pleaseee stay warm warriors! Lots of water and tea 🍵
