I have been an indigene of all ‘Igbo states’ in Nigeria, because I happened to be part of all the new states that were created. Writing and publishing a book in Nigeria comes with a great challenge. Most Nigerians see book reading as a luxury they can’t afford, as they are caught up in the daily struggle of survival. I brought Karmalu to the table and not only won the argument but got them to support my writing a book on it. My book, The Lore of Karmalu was written in prose, drama and poetry.
