YorubaNinja:Hatred engenders retrogression. When things happen, people tend to look too far for its cause. Look no further |

YorubaNinja:there's no Igbo, born of Igbo that'll ever regret his/her heritage, in fact Igbos are the most proud of their heritage, or which tribe you expect Igboman to choose over Igbo? your hatred towards them will only damage you while they keep moving on. |

The highest and best human brain that God in his love and Mercy gave to Africa to carry their voice. Diamonds last forever. That is the eagle on the iroko. |

Jewessgratitude:There are a lot of young writers, but opportunities are relatively few. This has pushed many of them to self-publish their books which means they cannot avail themselves of the editorial help that is attached to getting published with a traditional publisher. Moreover, the standard of education has dropped, and motivation has also dropped. How many Nigerians read? The dwindling number of readers is enough discouragement. In the 50s and 60s, the standard of education was very high, and the likes of Achebe went to school at the prestigious university college. Graduates of primary schools in those days will school a master's holder of today. Standard of education affects your mastery of English, even if slightly. And when you don't have a proper grasp of the language, your writings would be barely readable, and many publishers would reject it on that score. |
