Two Nigerians have won the prestigious Caine Prize for African Writing
two years in a row. Last year, Nigerian writer, Rotimi Babatunde, won
the prize for his story Bombay's Republic - a book about Nigerian soldiers
who fought in the Burma campaign during World War II. And this year,
another Nigerian has won it again. His name is Tope Folarin, a US-based
writer. He won the prize for his story - Miracle - a short story set in an
evangelical Nigerian church in Texas.
Tope, who was shortlisted with three other Nigerians and a Sierra
Leonean for the prize, received $15,000 at an event that held at the
Bodleian Library in Oxford.
... and its really a miracle indeed!
Congrats to him
