You are a good writer.

Look at these:
1. I liked the quip about marrying the woman of reality. Hahaha.

2. Good story. Would have been good to explore it deeper and resolve it. What kind of love can be […]

The idea of anonymous judgement is really cool.

Layrite, I’ve read your prose before now. I still remember that Mafia-style crime story, and, of course, the football story (which I particularly enjoyed).
In KTM, you adopted a form that could work as both […]

Up there, presiding over the stack of old newspapers on the shelf, hangs what he calls “my oga at the top”. He plants one leg on the window sill and heaves his weight – which is quite negligent, compared to his […]

Ooooh! Why you come spoil this thing with typo na?… :-/ This is a compelling read. Seriously. Well done.

I LOVE this, Fiyin! Well done. Like the way the story marched gallantly forward, no dulling.

I like this story. Though it would have done better without clichés. Also, you didn’t explain why they didnt go 4 antiretrovirals.
OVERALL? Good story. G’luck mate.

In the quest for self-assertion, two brothers’ relationship goes sour when one tries to kill the other.

For three reasons, Okwy doubted Ify would poison him. One, he did not believe in coincidence. What […]

kayceenj commented on the post, Sins of the father 5 months ago

Wished you had explored your theme deeper and left off the preachiness at the end.
A few typos…

‘…dark night.’ States the obvious.

Still, a very relatable and interesting story. Well done @topazo.

Wondering what exactly people mean when they say age is just a number – ‘AIJAN’ for short – I spammed friends’ inboxes for help. Among the explanations I got was the one which said […]

Found this funny and original.
‘Nevertheless’ is actually common lingo, esp in Eastern Nigeria.
Well done.

Kelechi commented on the post, The Lot of Christy 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Inconsistent tenses.
Use of clichés: ‘mountain out ofa molehill’.
You sacrificed storytelling for lecturing. The biology lesson material was heavy.

Nice concept, but…

Nice piece, very tongue-in-cheek too, esp with that second grouping.

I’m 20-something. You cannot compare my experiences and my PERCEPTION of them to those of a teenager. Never. The longer you live the better […]

‘Walnuts’
‘Spread your message of HATE’ I think reads better (but I know say you been wan rhyme! )

It’s a creative poem, though the rhyming effort took off some of its punch.

Well done oh.:-)

Nice poem. We only hope our bursts of anger will speed up justice.

Kelechi commented on the post, The Dreams I 7 months, 2 weeks ago

What I like about the story is the careful way each sentence takes the plot a step further. There’s patience in description without it lasting too long.

Nice work; hope the ending rocks!

Kelechi commented on the post, When he got an answer 7 months, 2 weeks ago

I’m guessing you are a greenie at this so I’ll be gentle.

1. Grammar was poor, really: 2/10.

2. Tenses were switched indiscriminately.

3. The story was overly dramatic, esp the scenes were the bomb […]
