And dear young writers, don't be pressured into writing for the West. Write stories like Kintu, Sozaboy, Longthroat Memoirs etc. We go buy am. Write in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, never mind, as long as you write well. We go buy am and even tell every other person about you. Forget people who try to persuade you to jettison your originality. Publishers plenty, readers plenty and even we don't like your book that much, we would hashtag it still, drag you and make it trend. Write good stuff. And we would buy it

Hello Thanks. That is a very big lie. Nigerians do read if books are cheap and accessible. I floated my online bookshop initially to sell all the books I have read on my shelf. And I am proud to say since April 2017, I have sold 656 books (to add the 4 I will ship tomorrow) The readers are well and alive here. We are tired of this narrative that Nigerians don't read. We read. And we read well well. Visit Underbridge ojuelegba bookstores, Ikeja along, Yaba, Oshodi, Ojo (just in front of Lasu) and ask them the amount of books they sell daily. Look at Twitter accounts like @thereadclub @bookhubAfrica and Instagram account like @Zaynabtyty @thelityard @eclectictope @thatporthacourtboy @thatothernigeriangirl @mayowareads @bagusmutendi and plenty others you will realise that Nigerians do read a lot and they read good books too. So carry your narrative and go. We are tired of it.

I know this is not related to this post, but I have to say it. Nigerians don't read book. All my friends are graduates yet they don't read novel. They only read when there is exam or job interviews. I was thinking of floating an online bookstore but when I take the statistics of people around I feel discouraged. My friends don't read. Their friends don't read. These guys are lawyers, computer scientist and engineers. When they see me reading novel it's as if I am doing something odd before them. It is very said. This narrative being propagated by teju Cole in his book everyday for the thief, was just a wishful thinking. How could one read in any bus in Lagos? I have watch interviews of Adichie saying Nigerians read, lol, for a country of over 170 million the percentage of readers would make best sellers like Adichie hungry for the rest of their lives. My Nigerian wannabe writers, please when you seat down to write, write for the west if you intend to make money from your book. If you like write poverty fiction, as long as it puts food on your table well done.
