THREE AUTHORS STORM OAU

It is often said that like minds attract. This is exactly what happened on Tuesday, last week, when three seasoned writers graced OAU with their presence. The writers are Tony Kan, the author of Nights of the Creaking Bed, Sade Adeniran, the author of Imagine This and Adaobi Nwaubani, the author of I Do Not Come To You BY CHANCE. The event was the initiative of the Great Ife Alumni Association of OAU, Home Branch, ably supported by Cassava Republic, the publisher of the three writers. The writers were not alone as the event was attended by teeming readers, budding writers and lovers of books generally. The chairman of the evening of readings was Prof. Bayo Lamikanra, the infamous professor of Pharmacy but a man that has been able to confront the tyranny of the empty page in many ways. Some other distinguished persons like Prof. Segun Adekoya, the HOD of English Department were also at the event.
The authors read from their books, after which questions were asked by members of the audience. In between came the hilarious performance by students of the dramatic art department. An autograph session commenced. Then, the final item on the agenda, “menu-menu”, (which many were earnestly waiting for) came up. The Great Ife anthem was sung and the event came to a close.
