Call for Submission

Arojah Concepts, an Abuja based edutainment outfit in collaboration with SOMTIN FO EVRIBODI has concluded plans to publish an Antoloji of Naija Puems (Poems in Nigerian Pidgin) and thereby wishes to invite interested Nigerians to send in their entries.

The anthology which will be released in the third quarter of the year is part of efforts by the organizers, in collaboration with the Naija Langwej Akademi and the Institute Francaise de Recherche en Afrique au Nigeria (IFRA Nigeria) to promote writings in Naija (aka Nigerian Pidgin) which is growing steadily across the country.

Interested Nigerians/Poets are expected to send in their entries in accordance with the following guidelines;

–          Between 3 – 5 poems written purely in Naija.
–          Each of the five poems must not be more than 2 typed pages

–          Typed with font size 14 (point)
–          Must be original and never published

–          Poets/poems are free to explore any theme/subject of their choice.

–          Poems are free to offer an appraisal of the relationship and cultures of Nigeria and other cultures.

–          Entries should include contact details of poets. All entries in MS word should be mailed to arojahconcepts@yahoo.com or edbabor@gmail.com

–          All entries must be received on or before Friday 29th of April 2011

For Nigerian Election 2011

… which begins today (depending on where you are) on Saturday, April 2, 2011. We made this video last year, half goofing around, and half using what we have to contribute to a social discourse. It now has almost fifteen hundred views. Today, for the benefit of all those on the fence about what to do on election day – and we hope that they have internet too – here are friends and colleagues saying it’s cool to vote.

Personally – at least from what I see – this election is one of the most defining in Nigeria’s history because of the amount of social consciousness it has generated, and the number of young people involved/interested in it. It could be – it actually is – our own revolution.

 

Feel free to share the video as widely as you can, until the end of the presidential election in the middle of the month.

Well, it’s April Fool’s!

And I’ve joined the school’s soccer team!

 

Well, who am I to tell you not to believe it. Every soccer superstar started from somewhere, after all.

 

Have a fun April, guys.
