My guests today is a journalist and writer from the in Northern Nigeria side she covers topics like section of this gender based violence and feminists and in Northern Nigeria welcome to the africa pleasure is so excited to have you here so i actually want to talk about the fact that for the last few months or really is actually youve been studying literature and in fact we have again or some of the books here what has surprised you most well its something that not just something i grew up with some to know grew up with my father was a researcher in this is actually the researcher so of course the interest was natural for me about this book and something ive been reading right so i think maybe this a presenter for me is not in the book actually is a dollar doesnt know much about it its here you can pick it up or read it theres a hole in source in london contin in his books but a lot of people dont read words i think does the most surprise when there were talk about how so much literature in the house of people. Do you know exist of course that it has been exists so talk to us about some of the authors and or the writers and some of the explored in the books or its its been a long history of hows the ratings from the benton so with the does the romans the right in which has been the most popular at and currently its started in the late ninetys it is after the ninetys with the bomb of the economy literature mostly the 3 most you can see is romance so its called romance novels in the directors dont want that title to be used and most of dogs dont must to medical condition of course is the romance but it brings up what oddest sections of the Society Order to make to go around especially what im interested in is the famine is the old view of this woman you dont know. Doing it didnt i didnt feel as famous because most of this writing is about a writer to empower women and thats why the society you know them and you sometimes try to shun trade to bundys because theres been a lot of book one incident in the past years because the books dont conform to the norms of the society sometimes speaking about conforming to the normal society something that that you are here to tell us is that these books cover what you call that culture so to say. You say that thats something thats in these novels that go back as far as the 1930 s. The leverage in that form and the romance novels which ive been studies always trying to write about how so women writers are different or be on what i phone maybe a dozen of us of present and is some of the books of talking about the culture in northern then you know which is something that has been happening weve had a lot of what we called the. Men who dress us female which we say do so because we didnt know what to do with homosexuals or not but i didnt buy those as i was young but do or dismiss that identified themselves as kind of things that explode which the society tries to show it from that distance and so what i was interested open was to look at these books and see which of these books explored distance and what was their actions of course there was a little but and the 2000 i can imagine are some of the books we have to to learn which surprise surprise increase the readership of the book because people are interested to hear whats happening was in this book so that i mean youre obviously now bringing this to light yet again and i just wondered how thats been received because you come from a part of the world that massively conservative how do people react when you say to them actually this has been happening i think conservative is conservative in that way because learning from the obvious looks conservative but this is the literature as well as a mirror of this is a to so its not something that he did something thats happened and maybe you dont want to talk about and we dont want to relate with it we prefer the distance of the it which you know its happening but lets not bring it out in the open for me even that there. We know its happening but dont you think just pray do more of it by bringing it out in the open but just begin it out in the open and we need to talk about a minute or infrared she. Said.
