Meditation: Organizing Literary Events In Nigeria

Nigeria’s literary industry is a developing one. It needs pruning.Innovation. Structure. Refining. Several literary organizations are coming up today to promote the almost dying reading culture in Nigeria.
We  – The Emotion Book club and Book Republic – are one of those new lights in the literary industry.
But I tell you, from the bitter side of the meat, that organizing literary events in Nigeria can be frustrating. More frustrating if you are a newbie. Some of the frustrating scenarios comes from the irresponsible attitude of some Nigerian corporate entities. Most of them prefer to sponsor musical events, while neglecting the more educative literary events.
Of recent, we have been forwarding proposals to companies, seeking for their support for our literary event slated for February. Most of them, we know based on their financial report, are capable of sponsoring this epoch making event.
It is a matter of necessity, far more than responsibility, for them to sponsor, partner or support literary events. Sponsoring literary events symbolizes hope for literacy.. For an incorruptible civilized society. For refined posterity.
Organizers of literary events should make it a matter of responsibility to hammer on that ‘need’ and not ‘want or like’ when writing their proposals to corporate entities. Wishing you a merry Christmas and New Year in advance.
