Are Kayode Ajala's stories true?

Hi again. Hmm...well that's food for thought you know.


Plagiarism: a piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work. That's what he did; He printed those stories and put his name at the bottom of them as though they were his. Everyone 'copies and pastes'. Because Havard professors do it doesn't make it right. Actually, the fact that you even know about the case means that their doing it raised enough eyebrows for their actions to be questioned.

I'm rambling... It's not my intention. All I'm saying is that it's wrong. He sold those magazines and made tons of money off of 'em. Now, whether he was good or not is questionable. One can argue that if he plagiarized '1' story, there's a possibility that he plagiarized '10'. So how do you measure the quality of his work if it's not really his work? Yes, the stories were good and juicy (no doubt), but how are we to know which ones he actually wrote versus the ones he copied? I'll concede this: The magazine was good, and the stories were entertaining. That's it. About him... well, the jury's out on that one. When one is able to seperate truth from fiction, then one is able to judge the truth.

I apologize for going on and on... I'm done.
