Ruyi's World of Books & Stories Interview with Carlos Farias CEO (Wicked Comics)

Q. How would you describe yourself?  As the founder of Wicked Comics I consider myself to be a very driven individual. I always try to push the limits and always looking to develop new characters and stories. We have over 140 different characters and plan to release a comic every few months. Q. Tell us something about the comics/books/contents that you have written or created and the story behind them.  So far we have three titles out. Clownman, KillSwitch and DragonMasters each are different stories. Clownman was our first release and is a rather dark story revolving around a circus performer called Chris Mason.

He is subjected to this top secret program to develop the perfect kill agent under this military organization. Dragonmasters is a huge universe in itself so...

Ruyi's World of Books & Stories Author Interview with Ololade Akinlade Ige

Ololade Akinlade Ige Q. How would you describe yourself?  Ololade Akinlabi Ige by name, a lover of Art who writes poems and prose. Q. Tell us something about the books that you have written and the story behind them.  I have always been writing more of poetry than prose. This is my first published prose work and the societal stigmatization on ladies for every expensive mistake they make propelled it. Q. What place does writing hold in your life, how has been your writing journey so far? Writing is synonymous to my life, it is my shadow which I can't from. My writing journey so far has been up and down, there are happy days in writing and there are frustrated days as well. Q. What is your writing process, a typical writing day routine?  I write when muse strikes me to do so. And one thing about my muse is that, it doesn't allow me to rest until I fulfill its request. Q. What book marketing techniques have been most effective f...

You Shouldn't Lay Down Your Crown by Graciano Enwerem.

 A poet called to share his testimony how his audio was played yesterday in a very "jabronic" almost insignificant radio station. Another poet sent me a recording of his voice performing on stage that was played on TV... not so local a television station, but very far below standard. A fan told me how he listened to   Dike   Chukwumerije's poem on radio in Lagos and waited for mine until he slept off. I also saw posts of a lot of my poet friends and students narrating how they enjoyed air play yesterday. Oh, I also remember that I was one of the poet invited to perform in a very local television station in Port Harcourt 2 years ago and how when we were done, the staff in charge came and said to me,  'anything for the boys?'  I laughed but he was damn serious.  The other poets who had attended the on air meeting previous years calmly said to me that it's normal. They narrated how they've always, 'dropped' something to 'oil their ...

"Wonder Woman" from the book, "Love, War & Glory" by Denis Olasehinde Akinmolasire.

Wonder woman. My wonder woman. There may officially be eight wonders in the world, but as far as I am concerned, the only wonder in this world is you. You’re my light, my strength, my guiding angel. You’re the reason I come home at night. All the ingredients I could want in a woman are in you. They say that nothing is perfect, but you’re as close to perfection as can be. I have never seen someone so kind, so gentle, yet so humble. It’s amazing how I feel whenever I am with you. With you I feel that anything is possible. Whenever I’m sad, you are there to provide me with a smile. When I need support, you provide me with a rock to stand on. And most of all, the love you provide is everlasting. Wonder woman. You’re my wonder woman now and forever more. I really do not want to be without you. You’re my wonder woman for life. Meet Denis Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk

You're Not a Country, Africa by Pius Adesanmi

CLICK TO BUY In this groundbreaking collection of essays Pius Adesanmi tries to unravel what it is that Africa means to him as an African, and by extension to all those who inhabit this continent of extremes. This is a question that exercised some of the continent's finest minds in the twentieth century, but which pan-Africanism, Negritude, nationalism, decolonization and all the other projects through which Africans sought to restore their humanity ultimately failed to answer. Criss-crossing the continent, Pius Adesanmi engages with the enigma that is Africa in an attempt to make meaning of this question for all twenty-first century Africans. Pius Adesanmi was a Nigerian-born Canadian professor, writer, literary critic, satirist, and columnist. He was the author of Naija No Dey Carry Last, a 2015 collection of satirical essays. Adesanmi died on 10 March 2019, when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after take-off...

Jane the Good Girl by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

Jane the Good Girl by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren                                               Mum wants to visit the zoo with Jane and Billy. When she was set to go, she could not find her car keys. Mum looked under the chair and did not find the keys. She also checked the table, but the keys were not there. Jane saw her Mum looking about, and then she asked, “Mum, what are you looking for?” “I can’t find my car keys,” she told Jane sadly. “Have you checked the room?” Jane asked her Mum and sat up. “NO, I have not,” Mum said. “Do you think it will be there?” “You can never tell. Let me go and see if the keys are there,” Jane told her Mum. Jane rose from the chair and ran into the room. She looked here and there. She checked under the bed. There was nothing. She also looked at the shelf at the other side of the room. The car keys were not there too. Biting her...
