I know that talking about them is. That's why Monica's story is bold. Especially as she is heterosexual. She's hoping that this opens up a dialogue.<BR/>You can find the story in the short story anthology, African Love Stories (Ayebia Clarke, 2006) edited by Ama Ata Aidoo. Apart from the African Book Centre, I believe it's available in other bookshops.<BR/><BR/>C.chikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05684576873306561680[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-88345059814669613272007-07-12T13:17:00.000+01:002007-07-12T13:17:00.000+01:00Jeremiah, when r u updating na?wienna[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-31770841507582935642007-07-12T13:12:00.000+01:002007-07-12T13:12:00.000+01:00I congratulate the winner though I was rooting for E.C.

I enjoy all this lovely chat about art, books and theatre but what does this have to do with the price of garri in Naij?<BR/><BR/>I shall stop now as i am tired, been up too early...I am just looking for someone to bring up a topic thats worth debating...<BR/><BR/>All you blogger please hear me, you are not the first and won't be the last people to keep talking about Nigeria...my question is what can yuo do for your country, what is stopping us the new generation of Nigeria from forming a political party and developing our country ... no...we would rather talk about book prizes...those of you people who are writing from all over the world, be bold and take your first steps back home, do not live in a world built on other peoples sacrifices, it is time for you to sacrifice for your grandchildren, live through the hardship so your children and grandchildren can say wow...we are a great nation...!!<BR/><BR/>Signed..a frustrated Olu!!Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-54539631838982334982007-07-12T01:02:00.000+01:002007-07-12T01:02:00.000+01:00Oh yeah, I am dreaming with you Afolabi, I want those prizes too....Caine, Nobel, Pulitzer, Orange...hmmm, yeah, that would be nice!!! <BR/><BR/>PS: Naijablog, love dis blog.
