Crayfish09: I hope so. But I am also good in writing short stories including erotica. Which category would you suggest for me? Erotica sells but not Romance does better always. |

Literature › Developing Nigerian English, A Right Thing To Do? by Divepen1(mod): 9:34am On Oct 18, 2019 |
After her freedom from Britain, America ensured her variant of the language was entirely different from the European's. For some odd reason, Canada seems to emulate America and not Britain. Thus, their writing styles became different. But Australia, a continent (almost) out of the earth, chose British style. Despite this, there are over 100 dialects of English, including those of the natural speakers from Ireland and New Zealand, that are yet to conform to the two most revered dialects- AmrE and BrE. That's why a native British speaker will say "you've drank" instead of the standard "You've drunk" because of disparity. So, why can't our linguists decide to standardize Nigerian English to some extent. It's fluid and lovely. Like our pigin, it's more regional. Although it will take years to produce materials, teach students, write literatures etc, we can start the step. 1 Like |

Sweet mouth
The cycle will continue. Those seized goods will from the hands of the elites drip into the hands of the masses.
Then, after a while, they will relent and close the border again when their palms had been greased. I guess smugglers are no longer paying enough.

Crayfish09: I have a children's book that hasn't seen a single sale since last year. I will try your site and see. Children books sell more to international ebook readers and as hard copies in Nigeria. Do try it, though. Who knows, the tide might turn. 3 Likes |

bukatyne: 1 100% agree with Amechi today.
Any woman prevented from buying a form or contesting should take it up so we have a case. That would have been a good example. I was even about to ask Midnighter ways these wathom settings can be remedied. Right now, boys are being sidelined because of the fight for gender equality. Let's simply teach these girls grit instead of placing vacancies for "Female Business Writer". |

lagoskind: Ok now. You can start addressing those social factors too in your own little capacity. All I know is that men won't back down or soft pedal on their own ambitions just because women want more opportunities. Go hard or go home is the name of the game honey. That's just the point bro. You have to fight for it. You can't expect me to shoot a blank in a gun fight. |

midnighter: You don't get it, I'm talking about entrenched systems and perceptions that reduce the chance of the woman succeeding
If it's a black man trying to succeed abroad and the system gets him you won't write paragraphs about how black man does not have the right attitude towards understanding mathematical formulas Oh oh! I get ya now. But I will only talk when it's the system causing the setback and not the black man giving up. It might be true that the system has created little rooms for women but it's also true that a lot of women are not pushing hard enough. See the women that went for the last presidential race. Their major support comes from men that feel they can do it. So, I will tilt my opinion towards his argument that women should aspire to be better since they have the capacity for it. |

Safarigirl should advise midnighter....
From different Ted Talks and research, it has been discovered that women do not always have grits in complicated things. They just pause and give up. I think one such talk was the one by the owner of Khan Academy, where he said women would come to complain that something was wrong with them for not understanding certain equations; thus, they need to give up. Meanwhile, their male counterparts will tell him how they feel they're missing something in the equation and would definitely get it |

Creeza: Simply mind blowing.. Another master piece from the Master himself. God bless you bro.. you made my evening .
Sometimes, the boy child is just assumed to be "strong" but we bleed too you know.
Only if society will see the image it has potrayed into boys.. " Boys are not supposed to complain as nothing can ever go wrong when it comes to life and it's ups and downs."
I remember when I was young then, living with aunts and cousins, I always got mad at the fact that the girls among us often got what they wanted .. often and its crazy, starting with : money and attention to be prescise from our elder relatives...
Then one day I asked my brother why? Because I felt it was bad...
His reply " If our uncles and aunts don't give them what they want. They will search for it outside"
And up till this moment in my life, I have to hutsle and grind to get that better life, come out and stand tall among peers. WE PUT UP THE HARD SHELL AND NEVER SEEM WORRIED.
But hey nobody cares what happens to the boy child... " He could sarch for it outside too and eventually fall victim to the " Omo's " out there..
Just as in the case of Usman and his uncle who didn't think twice to believe his wife..
Kudos bro. Kudos. I feel honored by the caliber of great minds that have dropped their comments. Thanks for this. I wish I can drop these comments somewhere in the book. 1 Like 1 Share |
