“For every youth, who is confounded and keeps asking, “what can I do to make Nigeria better? How can I contribute my own quota?” Lagos Book & Art Festival is a carnival you should never miss.” https://t.co/WyuKtxfpU2 #Nigeria #LABAF2019 #OreofePrecious #CORACreativeYouthClub
HBD to @nzesylva. A few days ago, I had the honour of sitting on a panel with him and other amazing folks at #LABAF2019. In the few days after, I've had cause to believe he's even more amazing than I initially thought. May your creative well never run dry bro, enjoy your day!

"There are stories and literary resources across Africa that we are yet to tap into and adapt into films. I have convertered about 10 books into movies but the new generation of Nollywood producers are not following that path."

There is the absence of respectable intellectual debate among Nigerians. A conversation quickly devolves into an argument because of the absence of the intellectual capacity to engage due to the lack of reading
