Definitely not porn, thank you very much. If you can't read everything we've discussed, this contest is not for you.

Is that your logline? "Blah blah blah"? I'm sorry, but I don't want to make a movie about blah blah blah. Thanks.

You both should make more effort to read. The very first post on this thread says:

1) At least 75% of your story should take place in a secondary school.  Your 2-5 main characters should be teachers, students, parents, or others in the environment.

2) Your story should tackle issues relevant to secondary school students in Nigeria: sexuality, poverty, academics, strikes, NEPA, etc.  It should be a realistic Nigerian high school story.

Write before complaining
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by Zubik(m): 12:29pm On Aug 22, 2008
I think Seun should review the terms of the story writing competition!!! Maybe a consolation prize for some good articles write up. After all writing the said story is all about brain work and not just writing for fun.
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by emmy4naira(m): 12:42pm On Aug 22, 2008
but bros seun, l know u can do better, u can see that evryone is complaining about the prize for such creativity u are demanding for. abeg try.
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by sisqology(m): 12:11am On Aug 23, 2008
Emmy, dnt u get tired of complaining?
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by florishn(f): 9:25am On Aug 23, 2008
seun pls must it be dat 11pm we are 2 submit
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by Sisikill: 2:02pm On Aug 23, 2008
Since I have forcefully generously appointed myself as Seun’s Amebo/gboromiro mouthpiece without his consent, I have a solution for those asking for more money.

Okay, here’s what we do. . .  present Seun with a receipt of the last payment you received (within the last 6 months) for your writing and he will double it. At least with this, no one will say they are being paid below their worth.

Sounds fair, no?

The answer is no. Second time I'm answering that question. Grrr (in a gracious and patient way).

What is this young man tired of? Plagiarized stories. Badly written stories. Pornographic stories. Grrr.
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by doyin13(m): 2:26pm On Aug 24, 2008
Okay. . . .I will write a story.

But be warned, My creativity tends to drift towards the cesspit, suckaway, septic tank grin grin grin cheesy
Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by Seun(m): 2:35pm On Aug 24, 2008
No porn. No graphic violence. Thanks.

Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by yicob(m): 9:55pm On Aug 24, 2008
what the heck is happening here?
have u guys forgot the contract law?

The buyer could afford to pay £25k N25,000 conveniently without deferring the payment. If you know you cant accept the offer why cant u keep mute instead of making humpty dumpty of yaself.

Afterall, thousands of nigerians would be willing to partake just because of the fame and not the MONEY.

i hereby object any form of unsolicited increment in the said prize.

A R I S E !

Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by Safia(f): 5:32am On Aug 27, 2008
Hello all members of Nairaland.  Let me introduce myself, I'm Susan Jefferson here;  a Black American female that has fallen in love with a country I've yet to lay my eyes upon, but some how I know that when my feet hits the ground in mother Africa, in particularly Nigeria, I will feel as though I've finally come home.

Regarding the contest: "Write a short story and win 25,000 Naira," I want to participate, however I wanted to make sure that this contest is open to all members of Nairaland, regardless of their country.  I hope that offense is not taken.  I just want to make sure of the rules before I began writing.  My story will some how combine the ideas and misconceptions of two people from different cultures that have . . .

I'll let you wonder about the rest of that (he he  wink), if I can participate I guarantee that the story will bring out emotions and even thoughts that are often unspoken and in a format that will be good and entertaining to say the least.

I await your responses,

Susan
