thumbs up to this great Nigerian. wishing him many more years of achievement. expecting others to follow this worthy step.

lets see the reaction of the 'education minister" this time. feats like this are what he should celebrate not regarding a non-relevant show like BIG BROTHER AFRICA.

Let him win the award and then you pray for grace to buy the book at any price he wants to sell. His success does not threaten your own grace hun.

@horny4u, you dont seem to understand what the guy is saying. It is not about him, you and me only. Its about those guys out there who may yearning to read the book and book will not be affordable. If the book is expensive, you may actually be able to afford the book but i tell you that cant be said of millions of children out here.

Congrats to Adeyemi

That is just one side. The education sphere has not much to celebrate. No one could win the science prize!

Well, Congrats to the Literature winner.

Yes. I have a duly registered publishing company and an incorporated digital media company and I also promote writers, sponsored a national essay for secondary schools in Nigeria and donated medical books too. But presently, my hands are full.

The Missing Clock is available on Amazon for only $9.99. It is a must  read for every child and young adult. If this book sells a million copies in the next twelve months don't be surprised. Talking about a book starts after reading it.

@ Orikinla. I am very grateful to you for informing me that I can get an ISBN free of charge at amazon.com. I have almost given up on publishing my book there because of the hassles of getting an ISBN. I will go back to amazon.com and continue with my quest to publish my book there. Thank you and God bless.
