adeashaye: Yes, we can have a forum for upcoming writers in Africa and Nigeria precisely where they will not be taken advantage of.
This forum will start from here and nobody will be asked to pay any money into any bank account. Administrators and pseudo-administrators in this part of the world are known for extorting money from people who are looking for means of survival, but we are not going in that direction.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a member should indicate and we will begin to share ideas. Many things are involved in writing and I can assure you that they are things anyone whose IQ is, at least, average can easily understand. It is a big lie to assume or say that some people are born writers! I studied Literature in English at Obafemi Awolowo University and now, I can tell you with all confidence that I have discovered that writing skills can be meticulously acquired.
Let us come together and share ideas and extricate ourselves from the shackles of superstitions, ignorance and poverty!
