In the early years of GSM Mobile phones in Nigera, many were numbered among the Association of exclusive flashers, texters and recievers.
My attention turned to the texters among them when I came across this story on how their Japanese Associates are driving up Novel sales.
Maybe the efforts of the likes of Bibi Bakare and Mukhtar in unearthing Nigerian authors and encouraging reading could be helped by these texters. It might take time to catch on, but it might be a useful way of channeling some latent talent to a useful purpose. Or it could all just be for the fun of it!
