Waoh! This is great. The igbos are good people

I have not seen any muslim woman from the north who is a popular writer

Note: Zainab Alkali was a Christian lady. She was Elizabeth Alkali from southern Borno, Borno State. A member of ECWA church but later converted to Islam.

If you know any northern woman who is a Muslim from birth and is a writer, let me know so that I can do research on her
is this rubbish relevant

Who are the literature scholars? You are not a reader my friend. Have you ever come across 50 literature books and read everything in a day. How many research did you make in a day? If you have never heard about Ayisha Osori before, then you are not a good reader.
Overhyped- that's the word.
That woman you mentioned doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.
You are trying too hard.
Some Hausa women are intelligent no doubt but their culture will rather see them relegated to oblivion.

Ok.

She's Etche.

Etche are ndigbo.

Ndigbo are Africans.

Africans are one of the inhabitants of the world.

The world is in the hands of God.

Look at what bitterness has reduced you to, she either have denounced her African heritage, even with her two names Igbo, an enemy is asking us to see our sister as foreigner.

All her books seem to be about racism. How unfortunate would have read them (by that I mean downloading them for free on PDF drive but heck she isn't that popular) let me go back to my "The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born". Ayi Kwei Armah is the only African man that can rival Jean Paul Sartre's writing. I need to continue writing.
