I got a comment from Bookaholic (thank you :-). For being a straightforward name I cherish it; the specific combination of books and a burning desire - pure passion - is to be cherished. Suffice to say, I'm now following the blog closely. So what is is about then? Bookaholic is written by two ladies in Nigeria. A country with over 250 languages in the heart of the African continent and home to a big part of the Yoruba which I've already written about here.
Now, Nigeria might be all Biafra pictures in your western medialized heads. Forget about that! Nigeria is a country brimming with people. And people dream. And those dreams are finally spilling out over the borders through Internet. 131 million people lives in Nigeria. 131 000 000 dreams. And the average age is 18! I really want to visit Nigeria some day.
I am wishing the best for everyone who wants to distribute and promote the reading of books. If I visit Nigeria I will try to plan so that I'll be able to visit the Nigeria International Book Fair in Lagos. Maybe I'll meet the Bookaholics there.
