Have you ever heard the saying that games are won and lost in the dressing room?

Literary Novel Published in Commemoration of Nigeria’s Independence Day and Black History Month.

by O.G

“Historically, Nigeria is famous for great literature however, many Nigerian novels have mainly got a tribal agenda. Egg-Larva-Pupa-Woman is unique because it speaks to the collective yearning of the Nigerian people, in essence the African people, yet tackles universal themes like love, forgiveness, domestic violence, entrepreneurship and woman empowerment.

There has been a lack of strong women characters in African literary fiction of late, so I was inspired to create a character who’s not only beautiful but also a woman of substance – defying all odds economically, emotionally and socially.”
