Nneoma of
Pyoowata and I have started a blog review –
NigeriansTalk. It is going to be a weekly review of blog posts on Nigeria/ blogs from Nigerians. From the
introductory post:
NigeriansTalk is a weekly review of posts written by bloggers of Nigerian extraction, bloggers living in Nigeria and bloggers who blog about Nigeria. NigeriansTalk seeks to cover the wide spectrum of perspectives on various social, political, and personal issues, issues that affect Nigerians at home and abroad. We would like to recognize those bloggers who through their efforts sustain a much needed dialogue on the state of the nation. We hope that through our collective voices, we will bring about the future we seek for our country.
It is a collaborative project. This means that we will regularly invite bloggers to review blog posts that they find interesting during the past week. It could be themed, in which case a reviewer could choose a certain topic of interest to them – say technology, music, education – and review blogpost on the topic. It could also be about the coverage of a particular news event by bloggers. Or just about the issues that bloggers found interesting during the past week. Reviewers have a certain level of freedom in choosing the topic and the format. Again, from the site:
We hope to involve as many Nigerian bloggers in this pan-Nigerian blogging project. If you are interested in becoming a regular contributor for NigeriansTalks.com, please email (Loomnie at loomnie-at-loomnie.com or Nneoma at nnwachuku-at-gmail.com). Becoming a contributor for NigeriansTalk requires a minimal time commitment as contributors will at most post about once a month.
One of its ambitions is to become a site through which people can network: Reviews written for and posted on the NigeriansTalk site will also go on your blog.
The first post, from Nneoma, is going to be on the site on Monday. We look forward to having your contributions.
