Interesting piece there sir. Nigerians have such a poor reading culture that sometimes I wonder what motivates writers to keep doing their thing, must be the passion. I was actually surprised to learn that most Nigerians prefer hard copies to ebooks with the prevalence of android phones and tablets that can make reading more convenient.

RIP to the legend sad
