Board Leaders

Keyholders

Shittu Fowora - Started writing a few years ago because he was good at it in school. He lives an ordinary life on the outside, but lives a hundred different ones in his mind ; the lives of a hundred characters, dozens of scenes, rebels, hunters, lovers and activists. Each life a story, each character with a tale, if only he had the time in everyday life to put pen to paper and share their lives. But alas he must steal the time where he can; steal a little from his friends, a little from his siblings and a little from his responsibilities, in the hope that, in time, he would have stolen enough that his characters can come to life on the monitor or paper.

JayWriter - Jaywriter is a graduate of Theatre Arts. He loves writing, reading, travelling, movies, filmmaking, indoor games and recently interviewing people. He is addicted to his muses and Naija Stories.
