You had to allow the ethnic jingoist take a hold of you
Not necessarily language though evolving have an emotional attachment, I wonder what the Hausa or Fulani version would be.

I read the post and I didn't see anywhere the OP said the young girl succeed because she is a Muslim or attributed her success to her religion. The poster just said that she is a Muslim?

Congratulations to her.

I don't think the part of she being religious and not attending booze filled parties is necessary.
That part is not necessary because she happens to be a Muslim right? Yeye de smell.

Nice one. The only thing that made me happy is she is Yoruba and then using an Igbo name as a character. It promotes national unity.

Nigeria is a vibrant place, full of cultures, full of energy, and full of superstition and the birthplace of Chinese whispers, often done with humour and eye-winking mischief. Every Nigerian is a story teller.

This is huge.

Congratulations Abike!
Do not congratulate her because she might not see any penny.

She is a new writer, she will have to pay back all the money to the publisher back.

Book publishing is just like the music industry.

21 years old and a million dollar book deal...

While some cannot think beyond Laycon, Kidwaya and Erica....then proceed to enhacing their online begging skills thereafter.

What is wrong with Nigerians?

This chest beating is infectious, I swear!

What part of the deal lift your big lazy ass up or lift up your sorry ass as the Poverty Capital of the world?

As Nigeria sinks lower, Amaka has become a competition. Even a journey through the desert and sea is a celebration.

Disgusting.

Are you aware that even Bernadine Evaristo is mixed race Yoruba? Her Yoruba name is Mobolaji.
