Join Us for A Tweet Meet With the Author of Onye Gba Nkiti

This Friday, the 31st of July, 2020, we will be having a tweet-meet with Ndubuisi George, the author of Onye Gba Nkiti. The theme for the tweet-meet is “Writing Back Home: The Igbo Literature Neo-Renaissance”.

About the Book

Onye Gba Nkiti is a new book written in Igbo. The book is a brilliant look at how the Chi (the Personal Spirit of an individual) is crucial to an individual’s self development. It uses colourful images to tell a wonderful story that both young and older readers will find very interesting. 

The book was published by Purple Shelves; the tweet meet is also powered by them.
