A young author amongst us!

Congratulations to Miss Wami Ogunbi on the publication of her first book!!!


The book is titled Naga Ceyon and the target audience is teenagers and young adults
 including the young at heart like you and I!


The author and the proud father above and below with a poster of the book, at the Alabama book fair.


There was a book signing event at the Alabama book fair, with the author signing many copies for well-wishers and admirers. 


This is a milestone achievement when you realize that the said author is all of 18 yrs old and has not even graduated high school yet -
 another month to go for that! 
Ori mi wu o - we are filled with communal pride.

 who didnt understand what the fuss was about
 There was another special book signing at the April Yodaai meeting for Yodaai members,
 who supported her ably.

We interviewed the author and asked her for her advice to the young ones.




As our social secretary put it, We may be looking at the next Chinua Achebe, or the next Wole Soyinka.

 I hope our young kids are paying attention to the opportunities that abound
 here in the good ol' U.S. of A - use them!
