Oyogist has learned that a Canadian based Nigerian girl named Chidera Igwe has released her very first fictional novel titled “The Carnival Boy.
Chidera Igwe is a 11 year old Grade 5 student at St Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School in Harbour Landing, Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada.
“My story is short and quick to read, one that students of middle and high schools will find interesting. I am happy to get through this first experience as an author thanks to support from my family, my teacher, and classmates at St. Kateri,” Chidera said in a report by CBC.ca.
“Chidera pulled off a short story through her school work. When I had a chance to read it, it hit me that it was a different kind of story that could be considered beyond a simple Grade 5 essay,” says Chidera’s father, Dr. Chidi Igwe, who is a lecturer at the University of Regina and the author of Taking Back Nigeria from 419.
