Nigerian Literature and the Writer
Literature is a major art structure through which people can portray their culture.
Generally, before 1800, literature in the European languages meant any writing or book knowledge (Culler 21). In the modern
Western sense, it means imaginative writing; indeed, it can be said to be language decontextualized, a
speech act or textual event that elicits certain kinds of attention (Culler 25, 27).
It is a product of conventions
and a vehicle of ideology.
Nigerian Literature in English (NLE) has witnessed a remarkable development in more than five decades of its
validity. When one contemplates the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to Professor Wole Soyinka in 1986,
one sees that it is evident of the extent to which this genre of literature has become globally accepted even though it is less than one century ago since this genre of literature came to be.
It is sad how the wrong representation of creative arts and literature in general still brings commotion to young writers or Authors and “want to be” Authors. It is sad that our economy in Nigeria also plays a major role in discouraging fresh minds who want a career in writing. The statement, “people don’t read” also has a twist of despondency to fresh writers, so how do we salvage our young minds and leaders of tomorrow? The obvious is to encourage writers by being positive and affirmative, reading their content, sponsoring their publication, and purchasing their books. These habits by the public will encourage the advancement of Nigerian Literature and creative writers.
Likewise, in the area of publishing, publishers and literary writers’ critics should
be encouraged to not only cross-fertilize but engage in optimistic and active symbiotic relationships to
advance the global target of NLE.
The writer cannot let people’s accomplishments or fortune stories bring depression into uncertainties. Life is a process and we all are going through a process, the ones who have achieved have in one way or the other endured many failures but overcame, the battles they lost and the pain they felt in the course of their struggle. It’s normal to feel depressed but don’t let pessimism depress you. Focus and believe in what you’re doing, in the end, it is your faith that pushes you to victory, and the results will trickle.
Attending SOBAFEST 22 (Sokoto Book and Arts Festival) was so refreshing. Meeting and being around like minds is inspirational and I see more of such festivals inculcated in every local government area. I look forward to being part of this art movement and the future can only get brighter and brighter for the writer and Nigerian literature in English.
