what's we pose ta write about.

Great initiative. Keep it up. How i wish i didnt do ma writ i could have used some pieces here. Anyway gud luck to all participants. Am not a gud writer so i will not even think of starting.

i know write about what pls help i relly need to win this, what are we surppose to write abt eh? mr. seun help pls ans this question asap.

BlkDiamond, what do you expect to derive from the competition? The prize money (though you live in the USA, according to your profile and the prize money is under 300 dollars) or the prestige that comes with winning a prize?

@Ndipe

abeg, $300 na cash O!

@ Seun, what are we writing about? Abeg I need that N33,000 and I mean right now.

300 k no be money eh ndipe no be money to u abi? me i be student im broke besides i get family 4 naija wey need the money biko kwa ha.

Can never advise any Nigerian residing abroad to go in for the competition, just for the prize money. 33k Naira in Nigeria is a lot of money, but for under 300 dollars? Please get a part time job and let the money be given out to a needier person

nice initiative, im down wit it!

nice idea, keep it up

is it only stories? What about poetry? I am ready to enter for the competition if it is open to the three genres because you never can tell, the best may be a poem. Please reply

RuuDie:

Who is Dipo Tepede ?

Thats the 33,000 naira question o
Maybe thats also the topic to write about

that's a great idea.i only wish we had more of such initiatives.kudos to dipo!

Am in for the money, ;Dwats the topic?

Please it is every important that the subject be stated.Or should we just write anything weather essays,poems or whatever you may call it.Please clear our writing mind,for it comes from the Mind.

Good very good i'll give it a try.

Hey, that a very nice innitiative. Studies have shown that a very high % of Nigerian's don't read books, talk less of writing. We always like stuffs ready for our consumption and not ready to think and be creative.

Great one there mate, keep up the good work. I am writing a book right now and its not easy, but i got to pusch through, cause i don't think John Grisham, Steven King, Salmon Rushdie are NERDS. If you are joining in writing, don't place the 33,000 Naira on your mind; BE CREATIVE.

This is quite encouraging and appealing, but may I know what will be happening to the copyright on my write up. Is it to be sold along for the 33,000 naira prize.

I think i can do this, but we need to know what to write about, or should we just write about anything?

33K is good money for me at this time.

Very interesting , that shows nairaland is growing

ndipe forget abt it i will so do this wiith or without u sry.

I am interested,tell me what to write about.

Seun O, the topics negro.

@ all

There is really no subject matter nor any kind of write-up; just be creative - it could be humorous, serious, politics, poem, joke anything: Just be a blogger! Be creative! Do something!

Check www.dipotepede.com for more details!

Mr. Dipo Tepede, pls tell us all a lil' sumthing, sumthing about yo'self !

i pray this is not a rue to get ideas from talented nigerians and convert it to a million naira thing. please permit my doubts, afterall na naija we dey

firstly,what happens to the copyright.
and am of the opinion that 33k is not a lot of money in nigeria cos of inflation.most people will be broke b4 weekend if given 33k on a monday.also limiting the write ups to a couple of topics will create a basis to rate the write ups.u might just get really crazy write ups.

Mr. Dipo Tepede, please tell us all a little' something, something about yo'self !

This stuff just keeps on gettin vague by the visit. We can't just write anything and at d end of d day, users 'll select d winner! D same thin seun posted ere was what me saw on d dipo site.
I need this money make i buy blackberry O!

with all due respect sir,
i didn't mean place a URL that leads to some site in this massive island of organized confusion --- i want you to write, with your own hands, in your own words; a lil' succint description of yourself and what you hope to achieve with this your generous initiative. that too much to ask ?
