DailyNews:

Just paste your email address here. When I send it, you'll need to download an epub reader like FBReader for your laptop in order to open it. How do I make it available at Lagos Bookshops? Seriously open to any suggestions? And there's a good deal here...if anyone can table me with 50 orders, he or she gets N25,000.00 as incentive.

I will ask someone how u can be interviewed with This Day. The bookshop own, I believe u need to walk into any of the bookshops & make a deal with them. Bookworm is probably a good start cos its sort of popular in Lagos, & ppl do visit there to check on new novels by Nigerian authors.

Odoguigbo pls don't repeat that statement again here. This clearly shows how myopic you see this Group. If at all you nurse such thought, u should have sent it personally to the president and seek his opinion which I know will give you comfort. You just ridiculed everything.

odoguigbo: now wey una still dey come here once once,,,,,,,elllmmm what about my money? My one thousand naira paid for the registration 'cos i knw, this project is dead. How i go take get dat money abi na 419?

Wow...what can I say? No need to be afraid, man...we just have a bump in the road...things will definitely smoothen out and then we can commence this great movement. Right from the onset, I knew that this will not be easy, so we all need to make sacrifices in order to get there. Will keep you posted, man, and please do not be afraid, cause YANReviewer will soon b rolled out in order to help budding authors like you. Ideas on the review format are welcome here.

A very fine author you will make, dear!

I wish to say one gbosa to you all, may your pen been fountain of enlightment to others and means of showing your patriotism to nigeria as one big nation.

Am writing in the capacity of south east zonal coordinator. An so so glad to write this as the first public speech from my bench.
I'm using this special opportunity to thank all those who recognised me worthy of piloting the affairs of our great pioneering zone in south east.
I pledge my loyalty to the management board and with the grace of God i will not fail in the course of my administration; i pledge to work with determination at all pinacolic ancor and pleasant times.

This is a call not only to the members of my zone (chapter) but to all members of YAN. A special call to all zonal coordinators spread across this one big nation nigeria.
I alone can not achieve even the least of my zonal dream, your collaborations in moral, inspirational, motivational and otherwise kinda support is seriously needed and should be encouraged within the circle of this association.

Time is a valueable and unreplenishable factor we do not have. But having in mind that the best of all things do not come easy and the fact that 'ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY', my chapter will be starting off by january 2013.

We also know that getting into public without incooperating our name under any known law, will be letting 'criminals' to dabble with the name of this association and also 'copy cats' running first to get incooperated with our name before us. So i have settled to use Team (of writers) YAN as my chapters masking name.

Emyo, your zeal is appreciated here, but is there a need for president in your zone again? BTW you are the president in your zone...smiles...other zonal coordinators should please map out their own agendas. Sadly we still need to register before all this, else we will be looked on as an illegal association. Uniquexty, been trying to reach you on the fellow who has a script writer's academy in Enugu. He said he could help us with registration, but we need to know if he is still willing to do this. Can you send me his number? Thanks a lot. And Emyo, keep it up. Just love your spirit, though try to break down your big big grammar for those of us still trying to enter this new world of writing. Thank you...
