Well done, Myne. Every time I log onto NS I go Wow! You consider us, fledgling writers, worth your time. God bless you.
When are we expecting a third novel? Hope it'll be about love in precolonial times (lol)!

What is all this? When the rich dies, the whole world will not rest.

What about the people killed by Boko-haram everyday ? Are they not human ?

Enough of this Dana stuff jor

According to the FRSC, the average number of deaths from road traffic crashes was 4,000 in 2007. By 2008, it rose to 6,000 shocked! If this is the official figure, then you can only imagine the actual figures as so many crashes may have been unreported and/or unrecorded.

These victims sure deserve anthologies. My heart goes out to the victims of the ill-fated Dana flight but the efforts to commemorate the lost lives and console those they left behind should be total and not be done in such a way that we value the lives of the 'rich' more. All lives should be celebrated.

Besides, I think the real efforts should be directed at the causes of crashes, air and road, in Nigeria with a view to eliminating them and not on the 'easier' part of pouring encomiums on the departed.

The best way to write an anthology for the deceased and write their names on our hearts is to direct the campaign and resources to the reasons for the crashes.
