An outdoor theatre ensemble performing \u2018Welcome to Lagos\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You’ve been selected for a mission to the moon. Which African author are you taking and why?<\/b><\/p>\n Buchi Emecheta – to remind myself of the resilience of the human race.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What invention do you think would change the lives of Africans today?<\/b><\/p>\n A trust\/integrity app to help one verify if someone is trustworthy and will do [as] they say (integrity). If I could sell \u2018Trust in a Bottle\u2019, we\u2019d know which leaders to get behind, which prospects to partner with, which people to hire, which companies to work for, which people to get hitched to, let into our lives or shut the door on. I think the world would become a better-oiled machine.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two things you\u2019re doing when not reading or writing?<\/b><\/p>\n Listening or talking.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To what extent has African literature envisioned an African future?<\/b><\/p>\n
