Bigwigs! These people were robustly contributing in the fight against social injustices using their literary talents. Nowadays, you see self-acclaimed bigwigs in nairaland literature section churning out crime and romance stories. If your work is not reflecting your culture or motherland, but seeks to glorify alien cultures of the whites, we will see how you will be reckoned with in the literary world. 62 Likes 2 Shares |

Vatsa was like a brother to ibb - so close that that vatsa's wife didn't know they were not joined in blood until ibb ordered the execution of vatsa even when there were no evidences showing vatsa took part in the failed coup. Infact he was vatsa's bestmam on his wedding day; he signed vatsa's wife into womanhood and signed her into widowhood. Ibb is a devil! 159 Likes 9 Shares |

BenBruce4Presdt:define a Hausa man. In the last 16 years, the north has held power for 2 years , and you blame them for everything? Ok, there was azikiwe, ironsi , obj(in military) , ekwueme as vp, sonekan as interim president , obj was there for another 8 years, Gej was there for 6 years... So we should blame the Hausa for what these southerners also did in their own days as leaders of this country? 14 Likes |
