Ayobami Adebayo perfectly tackled major societal issues in Stay With Me without forcing them into the narrative (still traumatised by TGWTLV)…
Every element of the story is there for a reason…even the smallest, most casually mentioned detail eventually reveals its purpose…
Was at mass once and the entire homily was the priest asking parishioners to write to their MP about a policy before Parliament…
Nigerian religious leaders can’t remain apolitical…these issues affect your congregation…you can’t stay a fencist…pick a side…
You’d think Nigerians are asking for too much from these religious leaders…just lend your voice, speak for the people you claim to shepherd, speak truth to power…if it’s Israel now they’d set ring light…
I Do Not Come to You by Chance reads like a story made for the screen rather than the page…I’m not surprised it was eventually adapted…
Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani’s light-touch humour makes it such an easy and enjoyable read…
Chimeka Garricks was showing off with A Broken People’s Playlist…putting together that many sad stories, all competing for which is most beautiful, is brilliant…
“You’ve started with your election talk again”
“Votes don’t count here”
“Pharaoh has INEC and the judiciary in his pocket”
“2027 is already a done deal”
So we just go down without a fight, without even trying…like a defeated people?
After months of inconsistent consistency, I did a 5k under 30mins…just here to let you know if you aspire to desire what you require, you’ll acquire…🙂↔️
It’s a varied experience reading Arinze Ifeakandu’s God’s Children Are Little Broken Things…
A collection of short stories is always tricky, one moment it’s a 10 and the next it’s nowhere near that…
GCALBT’s a bold storytelling, very intentional, which is admirable…
