Good story but smells of tribal bigotry!

I had a good start of d weeknd by reading this rib cracker this mawnin. Thumbs up to u men. This will tentahook any mofo, it is a wonderful script.

Decryptor: Good story but smells of tribal bigotry!

Commend the good work and farsake the tribal marks on yr face 4 once. This is an entertainin write up and more or less a fiction the writer only tried to add flavour wt tribal references. U sure dont know d literal meaning of Bigotry..

Edit your work and get rid of the typos because anything worth doing is worth doing well. If us writers want to get better, we should imbibe the culture of discipline when writing. I am still struggling with it myself too becos its very easy to be lazy and make excuses. Manually proof read it again to weed out the errors, and keep going over your work because as you do, you will keep on finding ways to improve on it (I'm speaking generally now).

Take note of your grammatical usage.

For God's sake, separate your foot note from the main body of the work becos it sort of throws the story out of sync by reading like its a PART of the work.

There is nothing wrong with your style. As a writer, your style should be your unique signature. What you can do is fine tune it, but personally I feel your style is A-okay.

You are very talented and you will go places if you maintain this momentum and keep writing. Talent is like a blunt knife; it won't be much use to you if you don't hone it.

very nice. keep it up

@Jap dude, you should note that, bro. You did awful good, man. If you cleaned it up a little, you'll be soaring. And editing is a damn sight easier than creating too

@ senbonzakura_kageyoshi: You should have seen me laughing @ the airport. Keep it up.

Loooool I can't stop laughing but really ,the I gbo accent has every right to complain cos he paid for the service,ur only job is to calmly explain to him n apologize no matter how many times u r made to do it.Your bosses grievance should be directed to the landlord and PHCN.To make matters worse,he can be prosecuted for assault with dangerous weapon or even attempted murder but no worries ,this is naija he will escape it.
To OP,you just have to look elsewia for another job or pray phcn improves on the supply of power cos ur oga has gone slightly insane hmmmmm that matchet.
You really over stressed the igbo accent,I like the guy for standing up against ur oga while other cowards sat back and watched dia rights stripped off dem.
Nice write up,thumbs up

na wash.

Thanks a lot for that, i've taken note of everyone of them and will try †o make sure that my next work reflects that. I think I've come †o see how important it is to manually proof read work before putting it before the public instead of relying extensively on software. If i had learnt to manually proofread my work, maybe the missing Microsoft Word wouldn't have been a problem.

@Ihedinobi, (lol, me? Jap dude? I'm as Nigerian as you are o! Maybe even blacker, i'm quite dark!) Noted every point and will make sure to improve in my next work.

U wont believe dat i laughed until tears comot from my eyes. I really enjoyed ur write up. U re tallented, keep it up guy

@senbonzakura_kageyoshi

I know y'are, man. Just poking some fun atcha Anyway, why wait for the next work? Just edit this current one. You'll be amazed what it does to you. I write so I can tell you confidently that it'll put the spin in your wheels for the next work when you do it.

@ Poster
I can't remember the last time i laughed so loud with tears in my eyes alone in my office. Man this is one of the most funniest story i've read on nairaland. That's why i love nairaland, it makes me laugh a lot. Thumps up poster, i reaaaallllllllyyyyyyy love this.

Guy..i jus have to comment again,u totally got me.
No worry..i edited the few typo/grammatical errors for my head. They weren't much tho.
Congratz dude..beautiful,beautiful writeup!

Waooo, U will be a Great story writer if there is someone in the field to nurture u up properly. Perhaps u can be a very good tools for NIGERIA MOVIE MAKER.

Thumb up for u, though there are few up and down somewhere.

I really like ur story though, u make my day.

@POSTER: May God richly bless your talent and lift you to greater heights through this, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray, AMEN!
I used to be this creative and imaginative while I was younger, but now, office work no gree me write again, nothing spoil shaa.
I remember vividly how my imagined essays used to fetch me A's in English/Literature in school back in the days, while my mates were busy writing "true life story" and scoring C/D/E at the end.

I advise you to liaise more with this ISHILOVE lady. She seems to know much. She can be of help to you. God bless you real good.

This is a very good piece. You might need to further explore the short story genre of Literature. Welldone!

PHCN is better now, at least we have daily now kudos to FGN

@Poster

I can hear ur own accent loudly from ur write-up, so shut d hell ur mouth or cut d hell ur filthy fingers/ warever crap about 'igbo accent'!!!

Its not everything that you bring tribal sentiments into. Get a sense of humour dude...

Decryptor: Good story but smells of tribal bigotry!

No it doesnt. Its creative writing. I can Imagine this happening, and infact, the whole story is like dejavue to me. Just as if I have witnessed such somewhere before.

tonmandy: THIS IS RUBBISH. ARRANT NONSENSE. THE WRITER MUST BE A TALKATIVE. I WONDER WAT SOME PEOPLE GAIN IN WRITING LONG STORIES. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. NOBDY WIL VE TIME TO FINISH DIS RUBBISH. I TRIED ND STOPPED HALF WAY. ANYWAY,HE IS USING A FREE NET TIME.MTTSHEW

On the contrary, most found it engaging enough to read it to the end.
