Finally.....The beginning of Novelist Afrique in blogland

So after a few months of persuasion from my wonderful boyfriend, I decided to start blogging for good. As someone who loves to write arts, it feels good to find a site which could let me write about my daily findings, adventure, and mistakes outside my career in literature. What some people do not understand is that, as a writer: you write with your mentality;you write with what you know; whatever you write revolves around how you live. You have to know much about what you are writing before you start. Let me stop before I bore you with my flimsy lectures on literature. Although I must confess, It's hard for me to speak without African arts. The passion which I have developed for writing since I was little has inspired me to move on and honor the black race with my literature.My love for writing has being a very unconditional one. There have been times when I failed writing, but I still loved writing all the same. I don’t know how it all started but I do know that when I was young, I preferred to tell all my feelings and wishes to a piece of paper. I know how funny it sounds but my inspiration and motivation of writing came from my little writing as a small child on little scraps of paper. I have lived day by day, hoping that someone will read this thoughts and feelings someday. I have a dream of success for my Second published work which is my first Bio- inspirational novel, “My Black Story”. Enough of literature and life generally is a whole new dimension o. My peculiar life as a young, African lady who is going to return home someday baffles me. The news of corruption disgusts my soul. The tears that we shed for our leaders are running over, the prayers are getting too overwhelming...Yet we do not know which way to go. One thing I have learned over the past couple of months as a young, African woman who dreams of a revolution for Africa, representing the young souls of West Africa who want a change; A change in all ramifications of our countries, a change in our economy, our industry, our media, our education, our performing arts and entertainment, and our reputation is that we should not allow aliens to keep believing horrible stereotypes. Over the past couple of months, I have met some ignorant people who have terrible misconceptions about Nigeria. iIwonder where this Oyinbo people got such from:About two months ago when I was talking to a creative writing Professor in Texas, he had asked me why there were so many ruthless and polygamous men in Naija, I was so quick to reply him by asking why they have so many American men who were serial killers, the bobo no fit talk again when I tashi am with wicked reply.... This same issue came up with Author Chimamanda Adichie when she was talking about some rude, yet ignorant questions she got from some Americans after her second novel. Some of this people don't even know we have cars in Naija. I remember a Professor once asked an African student in Dallas, if he knows what a Mercedes is....lol....nawa for some people.Anyways, I do know that the fears we have about our countries are known by God whom I hope will grant us his grace in Africa o my brothers and sisters....chao.
