Nigerian Writer Blasted For Accusing American Writer Nora Roberts Of Theft by Crimecity: 1:39pm On Nov 28, 2018 |
A Nigerian writer Tomi Adeyemi has been dragged on twitter after she accused American writer Nora Roberts of theft. Tomi had claimed Nora Roberts, in her new book Of Blood and Bone, had stolen the title of her own book Children of Blood and Bone. She wrote on Twitter: it would be nice if an artist could create something special without another artist trying to shamelessly profit off it It didn’t take long before she was being dragged on the platform as other writers claimed she would not be the first person to use the title and there have been several books with almost same title. Nora Roberts eventually got hinted on the brouhaha, which she even defended herself saying she had never come across Tomi Adeyemi’s book. https://zenithnaija.com/nigerian-writer-blasted-for-accusing-american-writer-nora-roberts-of-theft/

I'm with Nora on this one. There are millions of fiction books out there. It's not strange if one or two titles look and sound similar. She can only accuse her of theft if the plots and storylines of both books are similar. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Nora said she hasn't seen Tomi's book... (*Laffs).. Insignificant people always trying to make themselves relevant by attaching to a prominent individual. I'm not surprised its from an 'Adeyemi' type of tribe.. Buffalowings3:Adult of love. Displaying your intelligence and smartness upandan. * Now, let me ask you this; Did you know Tomi before this post? Is she as relevant as Nora that basically everyone here knows? Have you read Tomi's "best sellers" blood and bones? Have you not heard about blood and bones before this novel? Stop being stupid because google makes your "research" easy. Buffalowings3: Earthbound:By the way, there is a clear difference between Tomi's "Children of blood and bones" aand Nora's "Of blood and bones". 9 Likes 3 Shares |

If someone can come up with a whole new idea for a novel and excel at putting it in words to create a masterpiece, is it the title of just 3 words that she'll then steal? 16 Likes |

I understand her. It's like doing a movie called black panther in nnewi, only to find out there is an American version. It won't matter if yours came out first. It's already fake. She may just have to speak first so everyone knows she is not the pirate. 9 Likes |

If it was the other way around, would the American author be blasted as did Nigerian? The fact remains that Nora Roberts had titled her book in the same form as Toni Adeyemi's. 12 Likes |
