Good day Literaturelanders;

The GogeAfrica Short Story Competition that started last year which had over 1,400 African writers competing for the best story has had it's eight finalist shortlisted already.


Gladly; a story of ours; titled: " Tales of Jideofor" has been shortlisted four days ago to be among the eight interesting and properly written stories.

The Story : "Tales of Jideofor" showcases the life of an adolescent Igbo boy stolen and sold into slavery. It is an emotional piece that illuminates the experiences of a young African slave during the transatlantic slave trade.

The Story : " Tales of Jideofor" is already being remade into a brilliant full novel, and screenplayed for movie adaptation, that promises to connect the rift in the relationship between Africans & Europeans as a result of the Slave Trade.

This story is written by one of the founders of AfroAgro-Power (an agricultural platform that is into empowering the lives of African Youth through Agriculture. You can check up on our other agricultural related threads here on nairaland.)


The name of the writer is Mokwenye Ehis Ndudi and he is from Nigeria... He has been shortlisted as a Finalist for the GogeAfrica competition above.

Ignore the Policeman posing; �

MOKWENYE, Ehis Ndudi is in fact not just a Brilliant Mind; but had got a Pure Heart of Gold.

You seek a Humble Personality with High Sense of Dexterity; You should look no further.

He is a man for Everyone.

If He was President of Nigeria already; Nigeria would have been SANE by now.

A Chemical Engineer by Profession, basking all the Academical Triumphs - this Intellectual King, with his influence and affluence in the NNPC chose to be Agriculturally inclined to help sensitize and empower more African Youth through Agriculture.

His Story - "Tales of Jideofor" is one that will see the African History printed in the hearts on men.

He has chosen STREET Empowerment over OIL Empowerment - for sitting on the Stool of Corruption will have no Footprints in the SANDS of Time.

Long Live The King! ���
