Thanks a lot for your impute I'm never gonna dispute the fact that Eze2000 is a talented writer here is a man obviously
working hard to develop the talent he was given..I respect that!! Writing a book is never easy its a horrible, exhausting
struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. But our Man here has to be the best so he has to read up more ultimately improve. The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

man, seems like technology is out to keep us apart. The only bbm invite i got in last three day is from a fan a female fan here and a Green news agency which can't be you. How about you try my whatsapps number, its all over the place in ruthless betrayals. Yours doesn't work for me, mine could work for you

jelal007:
Whoaaa...time out Eze2000,chill abeg. Try 2 ignore these dudes. I know it can be annoying having sm1 tell u what's not instead of just making recommendations. That said,ur style of story telling is quite unique and explosive. I hope u blow like Chimamanda et al. Keep the updates coming. Should we expect any again 2nite?

I already changed my mind and corrected my words.
I apologise to u all for d show of I'll feeling. Its just that I've keyed up lately.

The guy actually had a point at he second comment, but it was his tone at the first that got at me the wrong way. I take criticism here all d the and learn but when this guy first dropped his own it felt like a kick in d backside.

I apologise again.

Next update is tonight as usual.

Honey, please drop the chapters na. Thanks

Seems u don't like my new action story but prefer the romantic one. I'm I correct?

ibullem:
Good job Eze2000,

Today is 15th, I hope you still publish the story at Okada.com as promised.

Thanks man.

Sorry man,
I got to delay say 3 days till Sunday night. I've been ill with malaria so couldn't work extensively in the last 2 days. I'm good now though so it will certainly be sunday or Monday night. But do me a favor. When u download a copy, do leave a review on there. There isn't any financial gain in free work but d appreciation of fans go a long way to atone for that.

SavageGarden:
Well thanks for the compliments bro you're right I might really not know..here's my BBM contact - don't know why whatsapp aint working!! Have a nice day sir! I'm really Enjoying your story..nice plot.

As u can see I have wiped your contact out after copying ...pls do the same or you'll be getting a lot of sperm and fraudulent messages. since I started posting my contact on Nairaland you will never believe the kind of messages I get daily!
sent u a BBM invite

Lol Mr Eze I assure you I'm absolutely no where near someone with a Phd Degree lol I've barely even gotten my BSc Degree and I'm an Architect. Well Bro! Pardon my earlier proposed example I'm not imputing that you should go all out using grammars all about your writing No! You get me wrong! doing that makes your writing bland and hectic to read I personally don't have anything to do with books written by Wole Soyinka that Professor is a total show off Bro! The entire Merriam- Webster dictionary should as well be in his head, every single word..That aside your write up shouldn't be so easy to grasp bro! So straight forward! That way you limit yourself as a writer and so do your readers too! I mean when I grab any bestseller novel I'm always prepared and wholeheartedly look forward to learn new words; new breath taking sentences, which of cos is an assurance! Now isn't that remarkable! Its even denegrating to your readers to assume that we wouldn't mind grabbing a dictionary when we read your work..not all of us are lazy bro! You're not writing for kids who are just grasping how to properly speak and understand English Language. I hope this is a perfectly rational explanation?
.

Apparently u got a PhD in novel reading/analysis but do nor even know it. Good to have u on board.
I keyed in your number to my phone but its not showing a whatsapps connection .... would love a whatsapps or bbm contact number, pls

Oladim001:
You are highly welcome.
I have a correction to make. In the last update. You wrote 'fight' instead of 'flight'.
And i love the way you write, your flashbacks and all. And i hope Sylvia won't be the one he'd have to save after Alhaji's niece.

unlimited kudus to your sharp eyes.

Mistake corrected

Thanks @ all

Oladim001:
That was exactly what i thought while reading this story. Its really good but you need to do something on the aspect of Islam and terrorism. You should do more research on the religion before writing in this manner. Anyway nice work.

latbas:
my only suggestion is on how u use ur words and not offend some peeps out here. m a Muslim and I know what boko haram are doing is not part of the islam we practice cos this is delicate issue here. I will definitely be looking forward to u educating people on the negative influence of those bastards killing all in the name of religion. my 2cents o

I thank you two again for calling my attention to this issue. i have made some corrections and in the book itself, put in a forward to address this matter....did it an hour ago.

Thanks again.

SavageGarden:
Well Mr Eze2000 you're a good story teller no doubt but regardless if this story is just right up from your head without any form of editing as you earlier asserted, you've really got to improve on you vocabulary Bro! There're instances you made cheap avoidable grammatical errors which wouldn't be so if you invested much more time into reading of novels of other well known authors; Dean Koontz, Stephen Hunter, Mary Higgins Clarke, Sandra Brown, Ken Follet, Chimamanda a whole lot of others learn from them, they way they fashion out sentences..You Portray Alex the main Protagonist of this book as an all knowing tough motherfucker yet he's caught off guard on little intel details he should be ahead of information bro! Not lagging behind.
Let me give you an instance oon good sentence structure without talking too much..
When Alex was speaking to the Colonel his former CO about the approach of the victims uncle , this is how you put it
"Alex began to talk. He left nothing out, not even the contents and purpose of the small suitcase he carried. When he was done, the colonel was silent for a long moment."
Here's something better
" Alex began talking exhaustively on how he was approached with the proposal of the mission, with no reticence held back. When he was done, the Colonel was both Silent and stunned for a moment"
There's no such thing as "Long Moment" Bro! But you're trying keep up the good work and create room improvement.

Oh, man,
You obviously have a PhD somewhere. unfortunately so many others don't and I prefer to have that 'so many' love me than d few professors there are.
So sorry, but my way of putting the story is better. if u examine the works of universal bestsellers like James Hardly Chase after whom I modeled my writing style, u will find that it is so easy to gasp and enjoy by every one.....now that something!
Going by d way u talk, I would need a dictionary and a bachelor degree in English at least, to understand any book u write.
When a reader has to go running to a dictionary in other to understand your work, he/she usually doesn't enjoy it.....fact.
As for the 'long moment'? It's not much a grammatical error as a thing of d impatient mind where a moment, a second, can take too long....what you see is actually a stroke of masterclass...etc....
"Nooooooo!"
Now here is another 'grammar error' but u know that's actually a scream and not a simple 'no' or a mistake. Did I say so? No I didn't.
The simple reason why everyone cannot be an author, irrespective of their excellence in d English language is 'TALENT', simple. God gives that one out for free!
Lastly, Alex considered himself done with the military for good before d contract came up. HE CARED NOT TO STAY UP-TO-DATE ON ANYTHING Military or political....he was moving on with his life as a civilian. Neither u nor any disgruntled worker will stay up-to-date with the affairs of his old employers against whom they bear a grudge.


Pls, sir, if u do not mind too much, I would love u as friend on whatsapps. You may not get d bang of my 'writing style' but your excellence in English is too good. I could use a consultant in that field, makes things so much easier.

I have already written it.

Twale Baba___ u got me hooked up like its tramadol.



Kip it rolling but watch out for spelling errors and misuse of tense (past and present)


All Good bro--

Thanks for d observation man but what u are reading is first draft aimed at guaging the impact of d plot on the audience. It has not undergone any form of edition.
But now that people are 'wowing' the story I know it is very wonderful a plot so now not only will I edit it, I will also enhance it.
One builds a house in stages....the foundation laying, the wall building, roofing, plastering and painting ....and there's is your house!
A book/novel is not much different...it is built in stages. the roofing, plastering and painting of my book are yet to come but it is still presentable.

Got it now, bro?

Nice job Eze2000, pls kindly inform if the book is on sale, Its going to be a big catch

Hello Eric,
Nice to see u again.
Please do read my posts on d outset. in my creative mind this title has book or rather part 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.
This is just book one (which I designated for free) and trust me ...I'm already tired with d load of work and its not even yet published. If I choose, have the time and have d strength, I will create d rest.
it took me 2 months working night and day, after doing d heavy research, to write book one...(editing ongoing). it is what u are reading right now.
How about u manage what u have until its finished then u sweet talk me for more, eh?

I thank both of you for the point raised. However, i promise, i did do my homework pretty well before picking up my pen, spent years on that homework too, and this i found.
Islam is not much different from Christianity both in doctrine and content of holy books. Both the Bible & Quean seem to have been coined from the Torah and thus all three have a lot of quotations, chapters, and verse, even characters, and tales, in common [they even have the same number of letters in their names - five!]. Funnily, they all share the same fate, in that there are a thousand variations of each faith and its ideology.
In Christianity, so many 'pastors' have arisen to lead so many astray, but in Islam the case is much worse due to the 'Jihad' factor. Highly intelligent men twist the truth into what they want it to be and feed it the many gullible people looking for some meaning to all the confusion that is life (brainwashing), culture comes to bear and the result is 'a new religious sect'
The Boko Haram is referred to as an 'extremist' Islamic sect because they push all the laws and punishments of your normal Islamic religion to the extreme forms & limits. Their laws and principles bring death and destruction to everyone in their path particularly the 'infidels' even as yours brings peace and enlightenment.... same Islam, same Quran, different doctrine which gives rise to principles, practices, and laws, which arrogant terrorists bend to their will. Please, do go and ask the thousands of Muslim refugees who have seen these things...Perhaps, it is time to do your own homework, eh?

Sir, where u mentioned okadsbooks, I thought you'd include a link to d page on okadabooks, for an easy visitation n possible purchase. Just mentioning d site is vague. Plz share me s link to d page on okadabooks. Thanks!

Oh now I get u.
This book is not yet on Okadabooks because it is still in d editing stage but I would complete it this week, publish and post links here. I post my works here in their first stage, first draft stage, to gauge public reactions hence the typos and other errors.

Thank u so much for your observation.

I thank u all for the compliments but most especially, I thank the supermodes of Nairaland. I've been battling with the bots here which have been obstructing my attempts at posting the long update above, designating it as sperm, deleting it and then banning me from making further posts on the 'literature section'. My recent inactivity here was due to these robot bans. I was banned this very day when i tried to make the long post above at 4 am this morning.
This ban was to last for yet another 48 hours and I was beginning to consider discontinuing this story here when I got a call from a fan here saying d story had hit front page this morning. I checked and saw that not only did my long update reappear on post but my ban had been lifted as well.

I thank u all again.

HOW CAN AN AUTHOR WHO HAS TO POST WHOLE CHAPTERS OF HIS WORK, DOING IT FOR FREE TOO, BE BANNED FOR SPERMING WHEN HE RESPONDS TO THE COMMENTS OF HIS FOLLOWERS?
THIS WAS MY SIN FOR WHICH I WAS BANNED FOR TWO DAYS! To say I'm highly upset about this is putting it mildly. That programmed bots that can't differenciate from substance and sperm, are responsible for my predicament may be understandable but for it to occur again isn't.
I pray d powers that be here look into this matter, is all I ask. I do not ask for an apology.
