In the days of the tower of Babel, the Lord caused confusion and brought about different languages. Why? The people *is* one.

So the world's language transcends from many to One Language- English.
In the 4017, the world's language was English and no one knew there had ever being any language. To scrap this they had to scrap the knowledge about God.

Watch out for *_purified Tomorrow_* a story that explores the latest development of Language, which shows that the English Language is trying hard to purify its language. And shows how Leaders try to keep the world intact by killing anyone who started getting ideas of other languages and God.

That means God is linked to our languages. Speak your language today. And teach a child.

To be quite honest, I don't like competition.
No matter how innocent it looks.
So for me this is a big discouragement.
Anyway that's my own piece though.
It's life. We're always pitched against one another. Ask yourself. Do you like your level of achievement?

GSteve001:
quite interesting. this made 2go a success then. I hope the ranking process would be reviewed from time to time. then again, I think the ranking should be released monthly or bi- monthly, so that writers and readers alike can look forward to it and it would even make it more organized.

in short, in my opinion, collect the names over a period of time and publish on a particular day once or twice a month. or weekly sef.

Okay. That's even cool..

Literature › Literature Section Popularity Ranking by Divepen1(mod):
This is a way of getting people to work harder on themselves.
These are the titles any man can attain.

1. Newbie( 0-500 points)
2. Rookie(501-1000 points)
3. Enthusiast ( 1001-1,500points)
4. Skilled Worker ( 1501- 2000points)
5. Professional (2001- 2500points)
6. Master ( 2501- 3500points)
7. Instructor (3501- 4000 points)
8.King of the road ( 4501- 5500points)
9. Divine Champions (5501- 7000 points)
10. Legend- (7000-infinity)





Although we are looking for a better way of doing it, we will consider two things to get a point- Front page worthiness and Popularity.

1. When a story hits Front Page it gets 100 points.
i

2. Popularity will only determined in the following manner.
a. There are 32 post per thread on Nairaland, that implies 32 comments, whether the Author's or any other person's.
b. each post is 1/2 or 0.5 points.


Therefore if a person has five pages thread,on Nairaland that means 6 pages because the first page is '0'.

Note
You can drop names of Authors

This will take a month and will be reviewed the next three months.

All literary work- write-ups, story, poem

Suggestions Needed.

Literature › Re: Unfortunately People Don't Take Time To Read Nice Write-ups And Articles anymore by Divepen1(mod):
People read. I read. I know tons of Nairalanders that read. In fact, it's a myth that today's youths don't read. It just that they listen more to certain people. Today's youth, unlike our fathers whose reading are restricted to the newspaper, take out time to read people's rant. They read articles. I happen to be page administrators on many pages online. I run several blogs- mine and for others, I see the way people clamour for things that are true, facts and findings.
Today's youths read. They do but not what you like. They have bits of knowledge about many things.

Literature › Waiting For 'up Nepa' ( A Story About Nigerian Power Sector) by Divepen1(mod): 5:30am On Feb 28, 2017
There was no noise anywhere for the first time in a long time as I moved to urinate in the toilet. The silence was extremely unbearable.

Did I sleep till the next day? I rushed to the parlour and went outside. The sky was dark and there were light in the different houses of our street. There was an unusual silence.

Oh I lie! There was the regular noise of Tunde and Segun, my playful four-year-old friends (they were actually twins); there was the noise of our neighbour Mr. George and Aunty Grace, another neighbour whose moan and cry of ‘oh more!’ never ceased to filter to my ear. Mum had told me to always leave that side of the house whenever I hear that noise that it would corrupt my heart, and I believed her.

But I still searched for that humming, buzzing, head-pounding noise which was not there again. I hurriedly ran inside, to the kitchen and tugged my mum’s wrapper, not minding that she was still shouting instructions to my elder siblings- Segun and Tofunmi- to put water in the fridge and to dust the pepper-blender we had never had cause to use in a long time.

‘Mummy, everybody have buy big generator.
They have off their generator and we also have light’, I said half delighted, half surprised that we who couldn’t afford generator (whose father still returned home with his dusty, tattered shoes, distraughtedly after searching for jobs, whose mother was the bread winner )would be
able to afford a generator.

She smiled brightly at me and shook my head playfully, ‘no honey. PHCN has restored our
light’.

I nodded and the light went off and returned again then I learnt a new phrase, ‘ Up NEPA’. Then, the light went off again. And the generators resumed their duties.

Seeing the need to take count, I began to watch out for the day people would cry the phrase again, but it came only twice in November- once on a Sunday and the second time on Friday for five minutes.

It came again last month, but nobody put off their generator for two hours. But the light remained, till 5 a.m and went off. This is February.
We are still expecting the shout of ‘Up Nepa’.
Literature › What No One Told Us About Self- Publishing In Nigeria by Divepen1(mod): 7:58am On Feb 27, 2017
I couldn't believe it when Sally Kenneth Dadzie of Moskeeda Page made 150,000 naira in a month from just selling her ebooks on Okadabooks. I assumed she must be doing something others are not doing. But I stumbled upon the fact that many Authors are really making it through self publishing on Okadabooks. Even Nollybooks from South Africa have their ebooks on this platform and are selling fast. The most interesting part is that many publishing houses have their ebooks on the platform and are selling really well.

Yet, there are still many young authors yet to make a thousand naira from selling on Okadabooks.

So, what can be the reason for those not selling?

At this workshop, you will encounter Karo Oforofuo, who serves as an inside person. She will give secrets only an insider can give. Details on things that work. You will also encounter Peju Amadi, one of the top 25 Bestselling Okadabooks Authors. She has received many awards for her works.

And Akintayo Akinjide who has a great knowledge about the craft and about Okadabook

It's time to stop writing without any hope of making money. It's time to stop waiting for those publishers who annually, have thousands of books to choose from.

Register to learn the method that works.
