This will go down in history as my first post. I am as excited as I am nervous. Excited because I am eager to let you into the mind of the Naija writer, nervous because I want to make a good first impression. You know that thing they say about first impression?
I was on my own, jeje, having a bath in the shower when the idea for the Naija Writer hit me. I get a lot of ideas in the bathroom, and please don't use your mind to imagine vain things. Thank you.
So I am in the bathroom and the idea of a place where the true Nigerian ink can gain expression hits me and I get all excited and ready to explore. (Too many 'and' in one sentence, just shows my excitement). I step out of the bathroom and begin to put flesh to the idea. But like many ideas I have had, doubts begin to rattle my mind. Will this work? Why not go for THE NIGERIAN WRITER, instead of THE NAIJA WRITER. The former sounds more appealing to a global audience. But I don't want to be appealing. I want to be unique. We want to have the fun of our lives while showing the world how GREEN our mind is, and GREEN means fertile. And will you believe, I just decided to stick to THE NAIJA WRITER now?
The Naija writer is fearless. He (and that includes she) knows he has a peculiar sense of patriotism and puts in your face, humbly and yet matter-of-fact-ly.
Welcome to a journey that will be both awesome and intriguing. Welcome to the greenest land in the world. Welcome to the pen that flows with the greenest ink. Welcome to THE NAIJA WRITER's blog.
Always remember that GREEN means LIFE!
