Seun:

She might benefit by targeting her stories at a lucrative market e.g. the WAEC recommended novel market. wink
You may be the best writer in the world, but you won't sell if you choose a topic that really excites people.

Purple Hibiscus was nominated for the Booker prize and won numerous other awards, Half of a Yellow Sun has already been nominated for the British Book awards, they can't refill the shelves with her books soon enough at major books stores across the world, well, at least in the UK, and you're talking about the 'lucrative WAEC recommended novel market' What'u talkin 'bout dude, a bit narrow minded, don't you think?

Literature / Re: Chimamanda Comes To Town by Shagari2(m): 4:01pm On Feb 25, 2007
Strange I was just about to put up a thread asking if there are any fans in the house, just finished Purple Hibiscus after accidently bumping into Half of a Yellow Sun in the mall few weeks ago, been hooked on her ever since, seriously cute girl too!!  shocked both books are brilliant, probably the best young talent to come out of Nigeria in recent years.

Also try picking up, Icarus Girl by Helen Oyeyemi, she's a young London based girl just completed A levels, the book is really good and got rave reviews here in the UK.

bluenubian:

Yeah euphoria,

Its not his fault he was born and raised in the UK, but he never shys away from the fact that he has Nigerian blood. He even has a movie where he played a Nigerian doctor immigrant where had to put on a Nigerian accent. He did a pretty darn good job with the accent for someone that was raised in the UK

I saw that, he was good as usual, didn't have to do much resarch for that role tho, he's father is a Nigerian doctor immigrant in London!

TV/Movies / Re: Current Nigerian Soap Operas by Shagari2(m): 10:23pm On Oct 05, 2006
I was in Nigeria last week and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed TV as well as just about everything else minus the roads and the drivin! Africa Magic is a really good station and had a lot of real good programmes, I watched one soap last Sunday evening centred around a family, was really good, kind of reminded me of Adio family back in the days but can't remember the name, also watched some people break the world longest dancing party record on silverbird station I think its called, they danced for 52 hrs non stop, that was fun, also lots of reality tv shows, really good ones too, I had a great time TV watching!  cheesy

Can't see the Gunners winning this one as much as I want them to, defeat would send them to the bottom of the league, 1st time since 1974! sad
