☆Winner in General fiction category for Ambassadors of African Awards☆ 1st October, Nigeria's Independence day. She turns 60. Instead of writing the usual Independence story about colonial rule and fight for freedom. I decided to do something different. This book contains four different chapters of different stories that gives a glimpse into the typical life of an average Nigerian. It's short, a little witty and averagely relatable. Non-Nigerians are welcome as well. Don't worry. It's a quick read.

'storyline' is my ninth poetry collection. Written with no concept or preconception in mind, each and every poem featured in this collection came directly from my heart. It documents everything I have experienced this summer: from love to hate, safety to fear, sanity to insanity, marriage to divorce, healthy to sick and written to unwritten. This is me... writing my storyline. 🧡 Cover: Magdiel Lopez
