@sambrightomo,

Abeg, correct me if I’m wrong, but… isn’t the judge for this contest, Mazi Nwonwu, the one you claimed debased naijastories.com by stating in an interview that “serious” writers don’t post […]

@elovepoetry, thanks.

@Shally-Ashimi, thanks for reading.

In other words, SIZE matters. Gbam! The lady just wants to be ful(filled), jare. What’s wrong with that?

@ibagere, sage from old! Where have you been? I bow down. Had to go back and read your back stuff. You have a way with words, like @oluwafunminiyi, @lulu (where’s that dude?), etc. School me.

@aniefiokitong, da, you think? She looks to me to be more of an Ibibio woman. May be wrong. Thanks for reading.

@MissAjiboye, thank you o. Ahem, what is this ref to cleopatra? School me.

My man @topazo, thank you, sir. I zip in and out as time and opportunity allows. Sometimes I think I have time to sit my tuche down and enjoy this wonderful buffet called naijastories, but…life intrudes.

@Zikora, Thanks for reading. As to Sunday and Kim doing it while mama was around… Yeah, that was an issue I wrestled with, but at the end I let them be who they are. Their saving grace, in my eyes at least, is […]

@schatzilein, Ahem, I have a feeling that there’s a subtext to that laugh of yours. Lol. Thanks for reading

@jadejay,

*Clears his throat* My 2 kobo, sha: Look at the delay to publish your stories as opportunity to go over the unsubmitted ones over, and over, and over again, governed by the feedback on this site. […]

“The motorbike screeched for a long stretch of seconds as it swerved towards the concrete kerb on the right of the service lane to give an impact loud enough to draw sympathy for both the rider and the bike. The […]

@shaifamily, would’ve loved to read the actual exchange between Chike and the girl in black. What did he say to ensnare her into his net? I like the story for the mere fact that it takes a peek into the world of […]

@Shally-Ashimi, you write well. The way you string those words together echo poetry. May be it’s the site or your writing, but could you arrange the paragraphs in such a way that they’re easier to read.

The way […]

@sucess001, Interesting. Would have to read the other parts.

@dkn111, thanks for the big-up on “Sandwich.” You have a unique, story-teller voice. It’s free-wheeling and pointed. If you’re new to this writing biz, welcome, and please, dabble some more.

“Mommy is on Skype, Gladys. Come!”
“Mommy! I can see you!”
“I can see you too, darling. How is school?”
“Great! Mommy, look what I found.”
Mommy frowned as she leaned forward. “What is that, […]

@topazo, Congrats, man.

“Diopka, sign the document, abeg!” Senator Umeru begged. “Oga don sign am. Na you remain.”

“Give me time.”

“There is no time!” Umeru paced the room. “We’re talking millions here, Clement.”

“It’s not […]

@teewah, the last retort “She just left here” nailed it. Well done. The POV switch didn’t throw me. Piece was a little stingy with info, however. On rewrite, I’d give the reader a bit more without being too expository.

@jazz, the more powerful scene, in my opinion, would’ve been if Jide himself showed up behind her. Would’ve accomplished two things: blow her mind, and scratch her itch. Family members, no matter how […]

Congrats to the shortlisters!

@myne, you go, girl! You already know how I feel about this site. I contribute mainly to promote it. Like the Hip Hop phenomenom (not gangster rap!), this site is a lesson to being proactive and visionary, a […]

@raymond, thank you, bros, and Happy New Year! Goodluck.

@sibbylwhite, thank you o.

@shadiat, thank you.

@babyada, thanks for reading.

@petunia007, you write better than this. Maybe my opinion is influenced by something of yours I’ve read in the past, but I find the story flat, dragged down mostly by a lot of telling. Gbenga came off […]
