In Response To "Dear African Writers, We Read; We Don't Just Read You" by AnonymX: 8:45pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Yesterday, we published an article - "Dear Contemporary African Writer, We Read; We Just Don't Read You" by Chisom Nlebedum (http://www.nkenu.com/2016/07/in-response-to-dear-contemporary.html) which was on Nairaland's frontpage. Well, Maxwell Unuafe disagrees with some of the points raised. It is a fact that a society that ignores it past would make the same mistakes its ancestors did, again and again. This shows that such a society is either made up of ignorant people or those that do not just care about growing or moving with the new trends and innovations that the modern world has to offer. You may ask 'why this premise?' The reason is this; Nlebedum wrote that Africans read , but not books written by African authors, reasons being that the works of African authors are either not made available or not affordable to the general public.

Some of us don't like e-books, gives us eye strain. I wouldn't know where to start looking even. |

Decent counter-argument to the points raised in the first article. For those who can't stand e-books, I believe Booksellers sell books from African authors. They have shops in Ibadan and Abuja...maybe Lagos as well(not so sure about Lagos). Azed1 also recommended Terakulture in Lagos. |
