I read your blog regularly. I read about the book promotion tour of Diana Evans (I hope that's her name) and thought to myself: How can you make this sort of content available to the nigerian youth; maybe find a way to compress the book into bite sized pieces of content and sell for a couple of naira each. Perhaps even recommend your books to literature and english lecturers at nigerian universities..find a way to make the content affordable.
Another resource is nairaland.com, a website with 50000 registered nigerians with a maximum ageof early thirties ( most of them based in the diaspora). Only been going 14 months and already attracting lots of posts. Another good way of advertising your books.
Just listened to Marianne Frostrup interviewing the author of Purple Hibiscus (nigerian lady). You could be her agent in Nigeria promoting her book there
Couple of ideas for you
:-D
Dear D
thanks for the nairaland tip. I checked it out ages ago but found most of the chat there a little juvenile - but I'll give it another go.
On Purple Hibiscus/Chimamanda Adichie - she is already represented in Nigeria by another publisher (Kachifo) - the book will be coming out here soon. We (my partner and I) were part of the group who originally brought her on tour here 3 years ago with Purple Hibiscus.
She does seem to be spending a lot of time in the UK these days..

A newer site, http://www.nairaland.net/ made an impression on me, with lots of hard to find up-to-date information about Nigeria.
The admin's articles are highly intuitive and informative, particularly in challenging the Nigerian government's actions against it's own people.
I find http://www.nairaland.net/ to be a powerful replacement for teh .com.
