RE: ANNOUNCEMENT: The Nigerian Millionaire Prince is Dead – Long live the Nigerian Contest. LITTLE THINGS MEANS ALOT. I>PLAY.
Got it.
You know, it made me realise I know absolutely next to nothing about black hair -- that advert at the beginning. Some of those things I've never ever heard of.
I read the beauty one and the one on relationships. I skipped the footy one -- I live in Liverpool and am surrounded by it 24/7 aarrrggghhh lol.
It's good. What are you planning to do with it?

That was just a beta edition. Folks said I shouldn't make a print magazine, said a blog was better. But I wanted a paper magazine and wasn't ready to settle for less. So I used money meant for my rent to publish that (and distribute for free too).
We're working on the real first issue. We're still waiting on writers to show real interest (my muse isn't inclined to feature in this one). Writers are a lazy bunch, you know. Always waiting for deadlines and caoxing (or pestering) from their muses. We're also working on our marketing plan
Say, you could send in a piece (if you're interested and have the time). Just say the word and I'll send you the brief via discord
About the magazine
I'm not really enthusiastic about the articles in them. I didn't even edit them, my deputy (who's now EiC) did. I only provided the funds. I just wanted to defy my naysayers.
Yeah, I've heard the printed magazine is a hard market to find success in but maybe that's just in the West. I dunno. Hopefully there's room for a profit where you are.
You blew your rent on it! Crazy lol. You should edit the next one. I noticed a couple of things, but not many :P
I could give you one of my blogs here for recycling if any are suitable for your magazine? Yes, let's see the brief. Maybe I'll find fame in Nigeria :D
cheers
Yeah. The printed magazine market is a tough one here too. That doesn't make it impossible. I've gone broke by investing in more 'unrealistic' projects. This one doesn't scare me
About editing, the designer messed up. Three editors worked on the draft but he didn't implement all of the corrections. Our fault too, though. We didn't work well on the articles before we sent to the designer
I'm sending the brief now.
This one got me grinning from ear to ear. Who knows? Sending the brief
