Writer, publisher and founder of Creative Writers and Influencers Network (CWIN) Africa, Ijeoma Dicta Okoye, has given reasons she founded the CWIN Journal and the CWIN Africa Achievers Awards.

Okoye, who is also a writing coach and the project director of Young and More Africa (YAMA), is currently the editor-in-chief of the CWIN Journal, which will be launched soon.

She stated that the goal at CWIN Africa is to tell African stories, project African uniqueness and change the narratives.

She added that the journal will spotlight the best of African writers, experts and thought leaders, and will also bringing its readers inspiring content.

“This project is one dear to my heart,” she said.

“We already have hundreds of pre-orders for this journal. The creative and publishing teams are working round the clock to make this worth breath-taking.”

Okoye noted that the journal will, among other things, feature book spotlight, business, branding strategy, product and community content, and software and digital solutions.

She stressed that one of the things they will be achieving with the journal is to celebrate young leaders and experts in various industries who have impacted lives with their content.

“We know that there are people who are doing amazing things in their little corners, but are not recognised,” she said. “We also know that most persons lack the courage to scream about their works for the world to hear.”

In another development, Okoye announced nominations for the CWIN Africa Achievers Awards for emerging writers, authors, thought leaders in areas of business, tech, media, etc.

She said that, with the awards, they aim to celebrate writers’ and leaders’ commitment to craft. She added that the works and projects of writers and leaders will be recognised under various categories of the awards.

The PDP spokesman recalled how the opposition party had on various occasions alerted that the APC government had ceded sovereignty over a large portion of our country to terrorists, “many of whom were imported into our country by the APC.”

He further stated: “From the video, in a brazen manner, terrorists as non-state actors boldly showed their faces, boasting, admitting and confirming their participation in the Kuje Prison break, some of whom were former prison inmates who were either jailed or awaiting trial for their previous terrorism act against our country.

“Nigerians can equally recall the confession by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai that the APC government knows the plans and whereabouts of the terrorists but failed to act.

According to Ologunagba, about 18,000 Nigerians have been killed by terrorists between 2020 and 2022 “as the criminals continue to be emboldened by the failures and obvious complicity of the APC and to which the PDP had always drawn attention.”

“This is not politics; this is about humanity and leadership, which leadership sadly and unfortunately is missing in our country at this time,” he said.

The PDP added that it is appalled by “the lame response by the apparently helpless, clueless and deflated Buhari Presidency, wherein it told an agonizing nation that President Buhari “has done all and even more than what was expected of him as Commander in Chief by way of morale, material and equipment support to the military…”

“This is a direct admission of incapacity and failure by the Buhari Presidency and the APC. At such a time, in other climes, the President directly leads the charge and takes drastic measures to rescue and protect his citizens.

“In time of adversity, the President transmutes into Consoler-in-Chief to give hope and succour to the citizens. Painfully, Nigeria does not have a President who cares and can stand as Consoler-in-Chief to the citizens.

“It has now become very imperative for Nigerians to take note and realize that the only solution to this unfortunate situation is to hold the APC government accountable. We must come together as a people, irrespective of our political, ethnic and religious affiliations to resist the fascist-leaning tendencies of the APC administration.

Ologunagba called for an urgent meeting of the National Council of State to advise on the way to go over the nation’s worsening insecurity.

“Our nation must not fall. The resilient Nigerian spirit and ‘can-do- attitude’ must be rekindled by all to prevail on the President to immediately and without further delay, accede to the demand by the PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians to convene a special session of the National Council of State to find a lasting solution since the President has, in his own admission, come to his wit’s end,” the PDP spokesman declared.
