Perhaps you already know much about the farce called NLNG literature prize, what is supposed to be Nigerian national literature prize. Hahaha! A prize from which Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sefi Atta, Chris Abani, Helon Habila and others are already excluded by mere chance of their having left Nigeria in search of a better place for the flourishing of their talents. Oh, well, the judges of the works submitted came to the concludion that the shortlisted works weren't good enough for any prize.
Oh, well, I'm sorry I'm commenting here even though it's not my intention to do so. I wanted to draw your attention to a beautiful essay by Lindsay Barrett: ENJOY!
