1. Don’t send your book to people for free, especially trying to show them you’re good. They won’t read it. And often, they don’t deserve it.
#writerscommunity2. Don’t rely on another writer to promote your books. Rely on your content and the audience you’re creating it for. If writers choose to promote you however, it’s also good.
“Omo ò jìyà, ó lóun gbón” has outlived its trueness (as a proverb insinuating that wisdom can only be borne by suffering). Wisdom is the end product of a man’s intercourse with information; not with adversity.

You know, it’s rare that I’ll be asked a life-related question that I haven’t previously thought about. I’ve thought about many things.
Last week, Bolu was surprised I wasn’t moved when she asked how I would feel if I couldn’t achieve my dreams in life.

5 Ways to Find Love in 2020
(1). Spray perfume and attend Nasfat/church every Sunday. Focus on either the choristers or the girls with long fingernails at the back.
(2). Help your landlord’s daughter remove her clothes from the line when it’s about to rain.
(3). Stand by the roadside and wait for a rich man’s daughter to have a flat tyre. Help and she’ll ask why an educated man like you doesn’t have a job, just like in Nollywood.
