Naiwu osahon biography sample

To many readers, Naiwu Osahon, the long standing Nigerian writer, is synonymous with his early work, Sex is a Nigger. The latter novel during its heyday attained transcendental fame and notoriety - and even now, many decades after its initial publication, new generations of readers are enamoured with the work.

Yet Osahon is a proficient, versatile writer who has produced many other works over the years; even other novels like Climate of Darkness , which arguably was even more successful than Sex is a Nigger.

In his works of fiction for adults, one deduces a vivacious streak, and a zany type of humour.

Actually, Naiwu Osahon might well be the most prolific writer in (black) African history.  He himself has stated that he has published at least 100 books (!), most of them for children.

Now, over the age of 80, the great man still writes regularly.
