Germinate, O my rose.
Bathe in dew of the watering trough
That stills a sunrises thirst.
Throne upon the mound of earth
At the center of my garden.
Clothe the dancing winds in perfume.
Your […]

@myne You have done a great thing for nigerian literature. More ink to your quil ( or your computer keypad as the case may be). Any ideas on marketing and destroying piracy?

Your work, despite being rather formless and void, and loose in construction, is still a well written brief treatise on the writers horror of nothingness and the word. Nothing is indeed more terrible than writers […]

@Chemokopi it seems some people like to criticize without being criticized in return. I know why I made that comment. The creature utters trash that no one else does! I was pissed off. And after all is said and […]

@Kaycee This is not fiction. This is memoir writing. A chronicle of a horny man’s reflections about relationships. You are also fond of cliches and dead expressions like; ‘the player in me’. No creative narrative […]

Superb. The controversy of indie versus traditional publishing rages on. New practioners of the craft have a shot due to information technology and choice of possible publisher. Nigeria isnt as bleak as it was for […]

@Felicity A good story but sadly it is poorly told. Unbelivable details of a swift marriage. Suspense is important in fiction, even if only for a few paragraphs. You don’t tell the readers everything at the […]

@vincent Ingenious tale. But be on the lookout for typos. Not ‘stare clear’ but ‘steer clear’ and others like it. Cool tale..

@Ohmston The mother of invention is solitude. Good work. But please avoid the Soyinka-like big words. Simplicity of diction is praiseworthy.

@magic A matter of opinion. If you read it with a phone, know the mobile view screws up the arrangement of the lines. I wrote ‘What rest is the sacred cows’ but NS Admin changed it to ‘What rest is, from the […]

@afroxyz Good. But seek to be less prosaic next time. Use more poetic diction unless if you’re a poetic prose stylist. Teach the reality…

@ ibagere Some words and statements reflect the literacy level of the characters. E.g ‘Everybody had closed his shop’. Typos duly noted. @kaycee I beg to disagree. No writer’s above criticism. But no critic can […]

@ohmston Nigerian readers are spoilt. The tale is a mystery of mysteries. They dont like to think and do research. But Yeshua didnt die, they started a rumour. So we have a killer mystery: In the Africans image, […]

Is steered by hydraulic cylinders over dew kissed grass
