Yeah *IBINU ODE NINU IGBO OLODUMARE* it was written in Yoruba tho

I have written a short fantasy story. You can check it out on https://afamthewriter./category/fantasy/

Make una try dey create topics abeg.
It's obvious there is scarcity of new topics.

There's a group out there called 'Gifted Fathers Circle',they are bunch of indigenous creative writers but the only problem they are having is that they're all set of Yoruba writers... but I always enjoy there novel tho, I've read : The Ghost, Son of Devil, Biography and Serve... K think you need to check it out

I dont understand, problem being Yoruba writers pls explain

Amos Tutuola and D.O. Fagunwa wrote fantasy novels.

Farad by Emmanuel Iduma.

i am writing one, excerpts can be seen on the Literature section of NL. Search for Earth is a Baby.

By the way, Nnedi has Binti which has won the Hugo Awards.

proproman:
Thanks. I'll check em out. I thought there was nothing like fantasy in this country given that everyone is writing either a mournful story about life or "ayo and seyi". I've got loads of ideas and can't wait to start writing. Thanx a lot.


And by the way, A LOT is wrong with "eze and the fisherman".

A lot is wrong with your literary orientation or lack of it. A whole lot.

So nobody even noticed Nnedi Okorafor Mbachu used nairaland in the past for a full year? Makes me feel I can come across Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie here one day. A lot of foreign based Nigerians always have a stint on this forum, why? I don't know.

proproman:
just wanted to ask. am a start up writer (sort of) and i want to write fiction, sci-fi and fantasy especially. am wondering if any Nigerian has ever written under either of the genres, as in a really good work not ''eze and the fisherman'', so anyone?[color=][/color]

Go and check for "Hong: The Advent of Dawn" a book by Qwekumalhi Ikenna Onyekwena a beautiful fantasy story set around a Nigerian town in Adamawa state.

Yes, OP.
Nigerian writers have been writing science fiction and fantasy novels since Amos Tutuila's novels to Helen Oyeyemi's award winning bestseller "Icarus Girl" and Nnedi Okorafor won the highly coveted 2016 Hugo Award for her 'Binti'.

Nnedi is currently the most popular Nigerian science fiction and fantasy novelist of international status.

OrlandoOwoh:
Amos Tutuola and D.O. Fagunwa wrote fantasy novels.

Majority of people are even ignorant of this fact.

Nnedi Okoroafor is the best Science fiction writer of Nigerian origin right now. Winning prestigious awards left, right and center.

Orikinla:
Majority of people are even ignorant of this fact.

The Palmwine Drinkard and Igbudo Onireke are classics.

Check out 'Guardians of the Seal' by Tunde Leye on okada books, though I've not read it, he never disappoint. I can bet you it will be a good read.

you have definitely not read "Ogboju Ode ninu Igbo Irunmole".

someone just pointed me to this thread.

i wrote zahrah. it won the wole soyinka prize last year. it's a good book. :-)

i write sf and fantasy based on and set in nigeria or west africa. zahrah was my first novel, the second was the shadow speaker. ive got two novels coming out in 2010, one is more sf, the other is fantasy. learn more here: http://nnedi.com

glad to hear someone ask this question. :-D!!

take care

Prof Nnedi? Wao I have read Zara and What Sunny Saw in the flame. They are great books. The problem, I think, is access to your books.

I was working on one before i despaired from relatively low readership. I could upload the prologue on special demand.

the question should be.... would Nigerians love to read Fantasy or Science fiction?

You're kidding, right? That thing about Nigerians not being readers is a myth.

Elechi Amadi wrote some science fiction in his book, 'sunset in Biafra'.He wrote of people who want an end to their lives taking a machine av forgotten the name but like tele-something and they fly away and not seen again.

Just to add to the thread, Abiku: A Battle Of Gods is a paranormal fantasy http://www.segilolapublishing.com/product/abiku-a-battle-of-gods/
