My plan is to overthrow Chimamanda -Ojoye-Adebayo

Ibitola

Ibitola Ojoye-Adebayo is the award-winning author of Acceptance and Acceptance: Into The Darkness. Based in the UK, she recently won the Diaspora Writer of the Year category at the Nigerian Writers Awards. She spoke to OSEYIZA OOGBODO BLOG about her writing aspirations.

Why did you decide to become a writer?

To be honest, it was by accident, it wasn’t something I planned. When I picked up a pen to just start writing was when things were not too well, I just got married, I just had a baby, my parents were there, but as a woman, I still felt a lot of stress, and there were a lot of things going on, and one day I was watching TV, and a women’s program came on and they said to relieve stress, you had to kind of like put the feelings out.

Were you already a book lover before the TV program that inspired you to start writing?
