Su’eddie Vershima AGEMA (me) lives in Abuja and Makurdi, Nigeria. I was exposed to Literature at an early age by a father who kept the tradition of the moonlight tales, complete with acting roles, local lore, and cultural songs. There was also a mother who bought the best of African literary titles, from Chinua Achebe to every famous writer of the Heinemann fame. 'Humour' sparks.. . I think life should be fun, love and friendships. I love making friends, keeping them and getting proper criticism and appreciation. My blog is http://sueddie.wordpress.com. S'Go to Sueddie Agema's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
Okay then.
But what’s in it for the entrants – or is just something for a cause?
I think such things should be made clear in cases like this.
Nice one Su’Eddie. Definitely submitting stuff.
@seun-odukoya, for a cause!
