"nigerians Don’t Read, Young Man, Now Leave My Office" by scribble: 3:49am On Nov 03, 2011
A top business leader in Nigeria uttered these words to a guy organizing a creative writing seminar to be attended by top Nigerian literary figures and endorsed by Wole Soyinka.

Apparently he was trying to get sponsors from corporate nigeria and ran into some fat cats who think our ivory towers are only good for selecting nubile young "interns" and "executive assistants"

The write up opens a can of worms on how corporate nigeria is not living up to its responsibility as a social change agent in our country.

A lot of what these business execs said to this guy is not surprising actually.
