2020 Winner of the WattysNG Awards One more lie would do no harm. That was Chizaram's motto and it had worked well for her. Weaving an intricate web of deceit involving foetuses was the art of legends-she was a legend. Unexpected circumstances force her to make a decision; tell the truth or become pregnant. Fast. After all, it's just another lie. #WattysNG2020

#Naija Ranking- 1 (18/08/18) The year is 2015. A nation is bracing up for what may turn out to be its most defining moment in it's 55-year history. However, two Lagos juveniles don't quite share the enthusiasm. 15-year-old Dennis Asiegbu and the football-playing goons of Grace School have once again arrived at the same river they've been unable to cross in three attempts: the quarter finals of the annual Governor's Cup. Meanwhile, his reclusive classmate, Elfrida, is about to pull off the most audacious stunt ever. When both worlds collide, owing to an insidious bet imposed by Dennis' friend, they will uncover a world of parallels- and a light they would never escape for the rest of their lives. Sing Of A Tree In The Wild debuted on the 27th of May, 2016. - Completed Story

Hidden deep in our culture and buried under western influence lay the very backbone of our culture and civilisation: stories. Though, in this day and age, it is very easy to ignore the impact these stories have had on us. But dear reader, bear with me as I tell you the tales that once guided our ancestors and their culture. These were narratives that directed how they lived, what food they should and shouldn't eat, what hand to use for interaction. These, in time, became more than just stories, they became our culture, our norms, our lives. They influenced the very way our ancestors looked at the world. They were blind and unfocused but with these stories, their eyes reflected brightly the gleam of the fire as they heard and told tales by the firelight. Tales that would be passed on from generation to generation, each time bringing an old light to a new pair of eyes. These stories played a great part in the derivation of our culture and social norms, so a great question is begged: did we make the stories, or did they, in fact, make us?
