GUYS!!!

You need 2 check out this latest Nigerian sensation, Damian Hono. This kid cracked new grounds with his debut titled "EDEN'S DIAMOND" a friend recommended it and when I ordered on amazon, for some reason I genuinely began to feel proud that I was Nigerian. Anyone knows him or his contacts please don't hesitate to share.

Hi Flexay,
Great to see someone echo my very own sentiments about the state of creativity in our great country. But I'm also pleased to say that I think all of that is changing, if only gradually. we are in the era of third generation writers now and I sense in this new breed an avowal to re-write our creative landscape. You must have heard of Helon Habila, with his award winning 'Waiting For An Angel'; there is this girl that just turned 22, Helen Oyeyemi. She wrote a first book titled 'The Icarus Girl' which enjoyed massive reviews here in the UK. Bloomsbury, the publishers of Harry Porter gave her a £400,000 two-book deal. But my personal favorite is this new sensation called Damian Hono. His first novel 'Eden's Diamond' is an intriguing conspiracy theory at the heart of Nigeria's polity and civil life. in my opinion, it's only a matter of time before that guy becomes a global phenomenon. There's light at the end of the tunnel, Flexay
