Sure, Africa has produced so many profound and worthy-of-emulation writers in the previous centuries. I would have loved to utilize more suitable adjective(s),well you know what i'm talking about.
Nigerians and other Africans at large are #best_at_it when it comes to writing...

Now let's just get ourselves amused here by mentioning these Authors (past or present) and the countries they represent. That they are late or not doesn't count, you may quote the title of the author's book(s) you've read too. The aspect of writing they adopt doesn't matter too i.e it doesn'nt matter if he/she was or is a playwright, novelist or poet (but you could tell us if u wish)
Let's just keep it on;


E.g Chukwuemeka Ike of Nigeria, Camara Laye of Guinea, Kwesi Brew of Ghana ... on and on like that.

Thanks and have fun.
