IN SHORT

Adaobi Tricia Obinne Nwaubani’s career as a writer sets a powerful example for young Nigerians. The acclaim she has received from her novel and regular contributions to major publications shows people that you don’t have to live abroad to find success, but instead dreams can be achieved within Nigeria’s borders. Her work also exemplifies how opportunity can be found through an open mind and an attitude of discovery. “I discover something new about myself every day. I never planned on being a writer. My going into writing was purely accidental – I knew I had a talent, so I simply decided to use it.”
