Who else does this happen to?

While reading any update, I can't breath until I see TO BE CONTINUED, then I take in a deep breath!

Is it normal?

Methinks that the man set the old woman up.
On second thought, I think she actually did - although why, I won't know - and then Akunna saw the money, and went with it to buy ram and goat. But how?

The time he told her had come, and she had to give way, so that he will swing into full action in the compound.

Beautiful (but short for me) writeup, baba, once again. Centino for president.

@centino...my problem with you is that no matter how long your update is it never long enough for me...and the suspense is killing me...pls do something

That makes two of us...

mama akunna, thief kwa?? ds agbonyibo no loyal o whatever happened to espirit d corps

good he didn't use d opportunity to take out Irikefe

I was even thinking that was his intention, until Papa Efe stepped in; I knew that no matter what he did, Irikefe would be safe...

eyesofpearls:
Centino!!!!! I’m absolutely speechless!

Thank you man!

I could read you forever!
Like curl up with coffee and read you all day back to back!
In a perfect world you would do nothing but write! Now I understand why good writers have ladies that are sapiosexual or at his beck and call?

Thanks for making my Sunday complete... still I yearn ... guess that’s the aim
God bless you on every side.
You are the best!

So that means you are ...

Kai!

Just finished reading.

The only problem I am having with Centino's story is that, no matter how long the update is, it never seems to be long enough.

Everything is in tow. Another beautifully-written episode by the man whose pen is filled with ink from the rivers of Lebanon!

Nobody should argue with me, I am not in the mood...

MrMacinterchi1:

Yabroda:
I'm suspecting cosmas.

Thanks centino!

Your head no correct... Suspect Buhari too.

Just like someone rightly said, many writers have gone with the wind after trying to accede to readers' demands.

You know, you will just hear four or five people saying "get a site, monetize it", and the way they will say it over and over again, you will think it's like 1 million people saying it.

In your head, you have started multiplying 1 million by some number, and then you will na go and buy yourself beer and start drinking, and na publish book, that's when you will see it was only the compound people in your village that were pushing you...




But I don't think so. Centino's story is like Super Story. It had small followership then when it started, but since we always discussed it at school and everywhere else, it piqued the interest of a lot of people, who in turn, became avid followers.

Centino, just like Youngzubi said, take the risk, not because you want to write for money, but because you want your freedom. Imagine mods banning you because you mentioned people you wanted to mention!

So, to cut the many ideas running around in my head short...

You will need YOUR OWN SITE, not just the literature section of someone else's site. The site shouldn't contain other stories, just Katakata Street (since we know the story goes on "perpetually" ) . Then you can have users subscribe to notifications, every time a story is published, which should be every Wednesday and Sunday, as is tradition.

As for monetizing, don't even think of getting Nigerians to pay cash; soon enough they will begin to think they "are doing you a favour".
Monetize your traffic - very soon, big brands will pay to advertise even though it is once a week. So you can have non-intrusive Google Ads and sponsored ad running on your site. Of course, the fact that you post twice a week doesn't mean people won't stray in once in a while.


Baba, I rest my case, when it enters such matters, I don't know how to stop talking. I wish you the best.
