MAY GOD JUDGE THE PLAGIARISTS !!! Dear Romeo Orimogun, I know you are frustrated. You are weakened by this problem. You heart is being burrowed by these weevils, these pests. You want to write and post, but you are afraid; Plagiarism tends to discourage you! Dont worry, Bro. This is Nigeria. This is a freetown. Everything appears and disappears. People live and die everyday. Life is a waste product; if you survive, badluck. Manifold occurences that truncate passion happen daily. We keep hearing news that makes hearts jump. Dont be sad. You need to be a Man. II Nigerian writers are patriotic people. They love their country. They pray for their leaders. They sing an anthem that never comes to pass. The youth are faithful; they all dream. They all dream. Writing doesnt pay, but we write. We have the passion. Some people will tell you to cease writing. They will tell you how they are unable to sell their first books. They have tried to tour schools, but no money. They will come online to create pages, add people and post. No money. Yet, people plagiarize. They plagiarize our poems. They see us as hungry poets. They call us names we dont bear. They plagiarize our poems and sleep. Yet they know writing doesnt pay. In Nigeria its not a profession. No money symptom. Orimogun, you need to read an article by our friend, Onyeka. Anyway, dont be discouraged. Onyeka is not in Nigeria. But he is a Nigerian. Lets keep the dream alive. Lets write and paint papers with histories that will make our children have hope in the liberty of Africa. Lets rise and dream, and tomorrow is ours to celebrate. sunday-guardian/artbeat/the-nigerian-exodus-how-a-country-chased-away-its-premier-artists#.U7ggjD5ryfY.facebook
