Published: This is Nigeria (The Grey Anthology)

After weeks of anticipation, the Grey anthology tagged “This is Nigeria” has finally reached completion, and now published. We received over 300 entries from the nooks and crannies of the country, and it was really a rigorous exercise selecting what we considered ‘best’ from the submissions judging by relevance to the theme.

“In my country, we know evil; it’s our countryman”
