Hi guys, Phiozy says we need up to 35k in order to register CAC in Abuja. I think we can do this with a 2k levy for all members. Sec what's our member strength? We need to know this in order to know hw much to levy ourselves. Uniquexty pls tell Chioma that I need a comprehensive list of members, including those who haven't paid any membership fee. Can u come to Owerri so that I can sign the account doc? Will refund your t fair if you decide to.

Uniquexty: YANpolice needed

Peaceworld: Yes dear...that's the guy. Would you have time to attend it? Nice way of publicity for us...and trust me, we do need members since more of these will help us raise funds for CAC and our first anthology...anyway, I have some good news to share...the new facebook page I opened for my graphic novel, THE LAST CONSORT, is attracting more likes by the day!

DailyNews: I understand how disappointed people are with this course. I started this project with great ambition, but unfortunately, things went wrong along the line, and I must take part of the blame for some of my wrong actions, please I want to apologize to everyone viewing this thread and to all members too, do forgive my actions.


As the initiator, I know people expect much from me, and I know my inactive participation of recent had also affected the progress of this project YAN, but I want to reassure us once again that ALL WILL BE WELL AGAIN! Just believe me this time.

I had been out of Lagos on coy assignment, and had been out of internet service too. But I am somehow back.


If anyone is really interested to be a part of YAN, the person must be up and doing, the person must be prepared to sacrifice, to pay some hard prize for good, to work with YAN with all diligence, enthusiasm & faith; if anyone amongst us lacks these features, pls I would suggest the person drops now. If the person is a registered member, pls I wouldn't mind refunding the person his/her registration fee of 1000naira from my own personal pocket. I can never be a part of fraud, its a promise I made to myself & my God. If I have fraudulent nature in me, I would have made millions if not billions through it with the opportunities I have had to deal with both big Nigerians & foreigners who trusted me with their hard earned money. So pls let no one think fraud here pls and pls.


This initiative was founded to promote young Nigerians who have passion for literature but have not had the opportunity of getting published due to the rigorous nature of traditional publishing of recent. It was never founded to deceive people, or to defraud or mislead anyone. I once faced the challenge of getting published when I was a teen and I lost my all time novel manuscript that would have brought me to limelight cos I wrote it when I was a teen, & it was thrilling but couldn't publish it cos I was young & knew nothing, so remembering such, I knew there are thousands of young people out there with similar story, and most end up a dead dream, so I thought of initiating something to bring young Nigerians together in joint effort to conquer this mountain. And the mission remains in tact.


I want to rekindle your spirits once again, pls lets work together again to make this vision a reality. But we must be ready to sacrifice a lot this time.

1. We must be registered with CAC pls
2. We must launch the association officially in the shortest period of time
3. We must publish our anthology of short stories, excellent & thrilling stories only


How do we achieve this?

I need 5 to 6 volunteers ready to sacrifice with me 20,000naira each mainly for the CAC registration. This is a sacrificial non-refundable donation. This is aside registration fee of 1000naira.


If you can do this, pls indicate here. Between now & November 10th. I will be pasting this on our official fan page tomorrow or next when I am fully back.


If I succeed in getting 5 other volunteers, that means we will have 120,000naira to fund the CAC registration, which will be more than enough.


Concerning the radio invite, pls peaceworld, lets hold first, lets organize our house first before making further steps outside else we may crumble pls. Lets all get busy now, we need to brace up.


Lest I forget, I must commend the following members:

Peaceworld, you are amazing, I thank God for giving me the insight to working with you.
Emyo, my main man, my amazing, ever spirited lol....in fact u are indescribable emma. we started this course together, and you had been an inspiration, thanks...I won't disappoint you, and I promise not to be like Moses, smiles.
Uniquexty, Uniquexty, Uniquexty...speechless.
Phiozy, who said we can't have another Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie emanating from YAN? Phiozy, you are an amazing lady, pls keep it up.
Sunical, I know you must be disappointed with me, I know, pls be inspired again, I trust you, we need that burning spirit in you once again, pls come back, we must deliver this promise baby successfully.
Ralph, you had been another catalyst of recent, your intervention is awesome & timely, welcome onboard man

Collins, et al...pls you guys shouldn't be disappointed, I take the blame, & I promise to awaken the dream once again. In life, there must be a mistake; every great person must encounter what we witnessed here, and YAN cant be an exception. I too, made a mistake & I wholeheartedly accept my mistake & would like us to pls forgive me & forget it & lets move on progressively as one YANNERs.


Cuddlemi, on behalf of all YAN members & aspiring members, I want to sincerely thank you for the great understanding, and to Seun Osewa, we say thank you, and more power to your elbow

It is my sincere prayer this day, that God Almighty in His infinite mercy grant us all the grace & wisdom to pilot & finish this great vision we initiated, so help us God!


Thank you all & welcome back onboard.

Please you heard the founder peeps...anyone who can donate to push us forward is highly welcome here. Personally I'm afraid I cannot make a donation now cuz I've got so many commitments, but whoever can do this will be highly appreciated. Our problem is CAC...Uniquexty, I'm still waiting for the script writer guy's number o...

DailyNews: Peaceworld, thanks for the epub copy, I am yet to check my email anyway. But pls, I travel a lot, most times, I am on transit, pls can I have an hard cover copy of the novel? How much will it cost me? I want to also encourage other members to pls patronize Peaceworld's novel: The Black Book, jointly we can elevate ourselves for our individual good.

Novel is 3k and can forward you a copy i got from Amazon the other day when you pay into my account number

Phiozy: Journalist? After goin 2ru dis thread, a journalist and author who's got big dreams for literal works here in Abj actually called me few days ago, and wanted to knw if we cld all work 2geda, because his aims and goals are kinda related to YANs(I dnt knw if he's d one u'r referrin 2 here).. He shared certain wonderful ideas, and I really felt lyk..wow! (inexplicable). He said he was goin 2 send them to my email, and I'd 4ward dem to you PW, so u peruse on it, and get back to me. @Luke, pls expect a call 4rm him, because he's supposed to deal directly wt u cins u'r d NC cordinator.
Emyo made real sense about d joint publication, remember wat we all had in mind wen we first started, and it seems lyk d CAC reg has caused a lot of distractions lately. We intended gettin sum of d best works submitted, reviewd and published and I dnt tink a joint publication is illegal.
While working on d CAC reg, lets all come togeda and see hw we cn startoff, we already hav our editors and odas...#wonderin wat else is holdin us back bsyd d cac reg#...
We can start submittin our literal works to the editors, but only wen the president says we shld(really hopin it'd b soon). Who knws, by d tym we r ready to publish it, d associatn myt hv bn registrd fully... For now, lets get startd wt sumtin.
Remembr its d zeal and passion we all had wen we 1st startd dat has brought up thus far,pls dnt let it fade away..
@Uniquexty, stil waitin for my e-mail o..lol
@d guy demandin for his money, pls I'm really sorry for the 'stagnancy' recently, dis is no scam! Buh if u stil need ur money back, do as Uniquexty requestd, and if indeed ur frnd is a registerd member, ur money wld be refunded in no time.
Wishin y'al a gr8 weekend!

A journalist in Abuja has bn asking me if I culd attend a radio talkshow on behalf of YAN, but seriously tied down here. Who is in Abuja rt nw? Will also ask Phiozy if she culd attend it.

Emyo: From the Coordinator' Bench.

South East Zone.

With a heart full of joy and profound gratitude to all who have in one way or the other proved their worth to the 'one step achievement' of this great association -YOUNG AUTHOR'S OF NIGERIA.
I wish to say one gbosa to you all, may your pen been fountain of enlightment to others and means of showing your patriotism to nigeria as one big nation.

Am writing in the capacity of south east zonal coordinator. An so so glad to write this as the first public speech from my bench.
I'm using this special opportunity to thank all those who recognised me worthy of piloting the affairs of our great pioneering zone in south east.
I pledge my loyalty to the management board and with the grace of God i will not fail in the course of my administration; i pledge to work with determination at all pinacolic ancor and pleasant times.

This is a call not only to the members of my zone (chapter) but to all members of YAN. A special call to all zonal coordinators spread across this one big nation nigeria.
I alone can not achieve even the least of my zonal dream, your collaborations in moral, inspirational, motivational and otherwise kinda support is seriously needed and should be encouraged within the circle of this association.
South east chapter of YAN have said, Yes we Can.
YANDA, yes we are ready to work with you.
We shall try to our best possible to work with YANDA and all the board members.

South east chapter, the time is now, let make our chapter an interesting and 'pioneering zone' that we have always been.

INTRODUCING, TeamYAN south East Chapter.

With due recognisation to Protocoles within this association. I wish to introduce TeamYAN to my fellow authors.
Unlike the National YAN, my zone do not need to be incooperated to start it' operation, as all chapters (zone) including my zone is covered by any such incooperating licence issued to National YAN.

As the zonal coordinator of my chapter, i have suggested that my zone will be working and known as Team (of writers) YAN; TeamYAN. As it is on illegal practice in nigeria to publish as a team or co-authors.

Time is a valueable and unreplenishable factor we do not have. But having in mind that the best of all things do not come easy and the fact that 'ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY', my chapter will be starting off by january 2013.

We also know that getting into public without incooperating our name under any known law, will be letting 'criminals' to dabble with the name of this association and also 'copy cats' running first to get incooperated with our name before us. So i have settled to use Team (of writers) YAN as my chapters masking name.

Emyo, your zeal is appreciated here, but is there a need for president in your zone again? BTW you are the president in your zone...smiles...other zonal coordinators should please map out their own agendas. Sadly we still need to register before all this, else we will be looked on as an illegal association. Uniquexty, been trying to reach you on the fellow who has a script writer's academy in Enugu. He said he could help us with registration, but we need to know if he is still willing to do this. Can you send me his number? Thanks a lot. And Emyo, keep it up. Just love your spirit, though try to break down your big big grammar for those of us still trying to enter this new world of writing. Thank you...

Uniquexty: ooops! Sorry boss. I got d book. U cant believe wots in dis buk till ur fingers grabs it. Its a real thriller dat'l kip u glued to ur seat til u turn to d last page. It was d antidote to my block. I bet u, its nothing but d best. Thumbs up YANDA

A very fine author you will make, dear!

odoguigbo: now wey una still dey come here once once,,,,,,,elllmmm what about my money? My one thousand naira paid for the registration 'cos i knw, this project is dead. How i go take get dat money abi na 419?

Wow...what can I say? No need to be afraid, man...we just have a bump in the road...things will definitely smoothen out and then we can commence this great movement. Right from the onset, I knew that this will not be easy, so we all need to make sacrifices in order to get there. Will keep you posted, man, and please do not be afraid, cause YANReviewer will soon b rolled out in order to help budding authors like you. Ideas on the review format are welcome here.

DailyNews: I will ask someone how u can be interviewed with This Day. The bookshop own, I believe u need to walk into any of the bookshops & make a deal with them. Bookworm is probably a good start cos its sort of popular in Lagos, & ppl do visit there to check on new novels by Nigerian authors.


my email: dailyy.newss@gmail.com

Just sent it. Check your inbox, and BTW can you help me inquire into the bookshop stuff since ur in Lagos? If your work will permit you that is...and am really interested about the THIS DAY interview...

DailyNews: so what do I need to do to get the e-copy pls?

Just paste your email address here. When I send it, you'll need to download an epub reader like FBReader for your laptop in order to open it. How do I make it available at Lagos Bookshops? Seriously open to any suggestions? And there's a good deal here...if anyone can table me with 50 orders, he or she gets N25,000.00 as incentive.

I can send you an epub version. Gud to see you back here.
