Re: Has A Nigerian Ever Written Science Fiction Or Fantasy? by Nobody: 8:38am On Sep 30, 2016 |
So nobody even noticed Nnedi Okorafor Mbachu used nairaland in the past for a full year? Makes me feel I can come across Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie here one day. A lot of foreign based Nigerians always have a stint on this forum, why? I don't know. 2 Likes |
