Hmn...... its depends on you. Since there are no strings attached, I see no reason for it to remain. However, Like in a stories of a perfect man there must be a flaw, and this should serve as Lot's flaw.

Therefore leave it alone
Won't that flaw bring him to an unexpected negative end?

Are people not interested in Poetry or why is this thread so dry?
Literature › Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by OMA4U(m): 7:51pm On Oct 20, 2014
Divepen, is poetry not considered as a genre of literature?

Let me help a brother out

Adichie studied medicine and pharmacy at the
University of Nigeria for a year and a half. During this period, she edited The Compass, a magazine run by the university's Catholic medical students. At age 19, Adichie left Nigeria for the United States to study
communications and political science at Drexel
University in Philadelphia; she transferred to Eastern Connecticut State University to be near her sister, who had a medical practice in Coventry . She received a bachelor's degree from Eastern, with the distinction of summa cum laude in 2001.

In 2003, she completed a master's degree in creative writing at Johns Hopkins University. In 2008, she received a Master of Arts degree in African studies from Yale University. Adichie was a Hodder fellow at Princeton University during the 2005–06 academic year. In 2008 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship . She has also been awarded 2011–12 fellowship by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study , Harvard University.

5minsmadness:
Chimamanda was a university undergraduate studying medicine and surgery at university of Nigeria, nsukka until her 400l when she went on holiday to england during one of the strikes/school breaks. She had already begun her novel 'purple hibiscus' and was inspired to finish it there. She gave it to a publisher who was impressed with her work and offered her £1million pounds for it which she took willingly(before nko?). The publisher went on to make far much money than he offered for the book(probably bought the copyright too) and so both author and publisher were very happy. She became an overnight sensation and the rest is history.

When asked in a not too recent interview whether she would like to go back to school and finish medicine she smiled wisely and said something like 'someday'. But till date she hasn't done so.

This is the info I have. I stand to be corrected though.
Source please. This is fallacy of the highest order!

Why did you make Detective Lot do this? If it does not add to the story, you can remove it. It will make us trust him less as he can easily be manipulated by s3x.

I think this prize is for the best updater of the month, but we don't follow that. People just come in to vote their favourite without reading stories beforehand.

Princesa, and any other person moderating this, please do proper verifications, unless you want to change the rules.

Thanks

Aye, aye. Review I would sir. The verse you spat out now is certainly legendary, had me smiling and stuff. Thanks much, for loving my poems. How about your addictions, any?
I've not got the enough time to upload poems lately.

Watch out for the new poetry inventions this weekend. I'll tag you anyway.

Larry must have gone 'gaga' to come up with the kind of story. But wait, no explanation about the cards yet?

Larry, come and update sharp sharp abeg. I started from chapter 12 this morning and by now I've read the story to the last update. It's really captivating.

Finally, Mr Larry is able to bless us with lectures on punctuation marks. Even if they are just three, it's commendable. Better late than never. Thanks, Nairaland Literature Section is indebted!

You've really helped me with the use of 'comma'. I don't know why, comma confuses me a lot.

Thanks, Larry.

And Texanomaly, you're right. Thanks.
