I looked her up on the internet and came across some short stories that she wrote. Since I have been away from Nigeria for about 4 years now, I could not help but feel a little bit homesick. Her stories talked about our customs, food, culture, and the constant respect for our elders. Those stories also talked about storytelling. I remember when I was little and my mum told me and my siblings of stories about the tortoise, lion, elephant etc. I also remember watching "tales by moonlight" on Sunday evenings when growing up. I don't really think that I am a good storyteller and sometimes wonder if I would be able to tell my future children these kinds of tales.
Anyone who is interested in reading a few short stories of this talented writer should click on the link below. It would be worth your read. Have a great long weekend for those in Canada.
