I recognized the rumour mills as resources that should be channelled to some use, and so we started a creative writing competition. The idea was simple: Put these rumours into some organic manner and submit them as entries to the creative writing exercises.
Competent persons were invited to manage the process and in about three to four rounds, prizes were awarded for poetry, short stories, and drama. Nigerians are creative and it is not for nothing that we created a whole thriving industry in Movies and our Nollywood.
This has become a very important sector of the Nigerian economy, creating many jobs, directly and indirectly. And from nothing but just our creative minds, in which a whole lot comes from among others, our stories, gossip, and rumours.
