Abubakar Adam Ibrahim Wins The 2016 Nigeria Prize For Literature. by PopeExplicit(m): 1:23pm On Oct 12, 2016 |
Abubakar Adam Ibrahim has won the 2016 NLNG sponsored Nigeria Prize For Literature for his debut novel, "Season Of Crimson Blossoms". The award announcement was made on Wednesday, 12th of October, 2016. Abubakar's novel "Season Of Crimson Blossoms", beat the other other shortlisted novels, "Born On A Tuesday", by Elnathan John, and "Night Dancer", by Chika Unigwe, to clinch the $100,000 prize. Chika Unigwe had previously won the prize in 2012 for her novel "On Black Sister's Street". The Nigerian Prize For Literature valued at $100,000 is one of the world richest literary prize, and the richest in Africa. Previous winners of the Prize include, Kaine Agarry for "Yellow Yellow", Tade Ipaedola for "Sahara Testament", Akachi Adimora Eze-Igbo, and Chika Unigwe for "On Black Sister's Street" amongst others. The three shortlisted novels were drawn from a longlist of eleven that included Etisalat Prize longlisted novel, "On The Bank Of The River", by Ifeoluwa Adeniyi, and 74 year old Ifeoma Okoye for her new novel, "The Fourth World". The three novels on the shortlist were particularly spectacular and we can't be prouder of Abubakar for winning the Prize. Congrats to the winner and the shortlisted writers! http://www.dwartonline.com/abubakar-adam-ibrahim-wins-the-2016-nigeria-prize-for-literature/ 15 Likes 2 Shares

uhalauju:your post is unitelligent.. and still as tribalistic as those you are trying to criticize intelligence, brilliance, stupidity, and every other subject that defines a person's consciousness is evenly distributed among the populations of the world.. abubukar is the smart one, what are you? my guess is right... 21 Likes 2 Shares

A big thumbs up for the winner of the prestigious prize. The biggest in Africa. 48million no be beans. I do hope to win this prize one day. I was rooting for Elnathan John's Born On A Tuesday but since the judges wey wise pass me has selected Abubakar's novel, I can only applaud him. This is good for Nigerian literature particularly Northern Literature. I see a renaissance of some sorts from authors born and bred in the North. We need stories from all parts of the continent. Please literary critics, please click the link on my signature and read. You can critically abuse me in any way you want. 1 Like |

Congrats to the winner even though I would have like Ifeoluwa Adeniyi to win. ps: I'm less concerned with tribe o.. We're all Nigerians. I wished Ifeoluwa to win cos I know her on Voices and cos of Edmund Obilo. |
