Nora Roberts Responds To Tomi Adeyemi Accusations Of Plagiarism by Edithfavourite: 8:18am On Nov 30, 2018 |
A few days back, Nigerian author Tomi Adeyemi called out American writer, Nora Roberts accusing her of stealing her book title. 'it would be nice if an artist could create something special without another artist trying to shamelessly profit off it' went viral and certainly got the attention of the international community'. Adeyrmi wrote on Twitter Nora Roberts reached out to her, explained things and Tomi was forced to make a partial retaction saying, 'Nora was kind enough to reach out & explain that today was the first she’d heard of my book. After talking to her, I believe our titles were created in isolation. I’m grateful she explained & I’ve apologized, but I wanted to address it here as I know others were upset too'. Nora has now taken out time to react in a lenghty and epic manner to the false accusations and social media can't get enough of it. Read her response below: I’m not on Twitter. I’ve said before and will say again, I’d rather be poked in the eye with a burning stick than tweet. I’m only on Instagram and Facebook because the amazing Laura runs the show. https://zenithnaija.com/nora-roberts-responds-to-accusations-of-plagiarism-by-nigerian-writer/ 6 Likes 2 Shares

Nora said she hasn't seen Tomi's book...The text quoted above, was my comment on the post referring to Tomi's accusation. It was actually funny -and silly- that "learned" people mentioned me to insult me. I have been vindicated. I hope that stupidity would also be detached from those that spewed trash at me. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

There have been several books containing the title blood and bone even before the Tomi girl wrote her own. It's cheap publicity to accuse Nora of plagiarism when there have been similar titles that could also have accused Tomi. 8 Likes |

By the manner at which each played their role on this issue, it shows Nora is matured. You have to get your facts very right before accusing someone of plagiarism. That's the worst sin a writer could commit. The internet was there for miss attention-$eeker to confirm and affirm her claims about the issue of theft before going to tweeter to shout foul play. We Nigerian just think it's free to mess someone's being by words spoken out of our mouths. Tomi is a whole mishmash of nonsense peppered by not being famous as a writer. And you don't climb success ladder by painting your colleagues (or anyone) black. 22 Likes |

You can't steal a book title simple. And now Nora has called that Tomi girl a fool because she could not check facts before screaming out. Typical Nigerian reaction of run before you ask "wetin dey pursue us? " 12 Likes 1 Share |

Adeyemi, I do not know, but Nora has been in the business for a very long time and her creativity and originality is not in doubt. She can write sad story lines that can makes you cry your eyes out. I still remember one of her book titled “Full circle”. Most of her books always start with sad stories or ends with one. 10 Likes |

Her reply shows she cannot even plagiarize seff I believe she is too intelligent for that, and it is right for her to outrightly protect her integrity and reputation As she said 'a writer should understand words...' 14 Likes |
