TheGoodFelo

We sincerely apologize for delaying this announcement till now. It has been a concern to us that we have to withdraw this year's TheGoodFelo Young Writers' Award. Having received some submissions, we, unfortunately, could not find stories and writings that met up to our award standards. This is not to say that every entry is not good; rather, we wish to encourage young writers' to learn more, read more, practice more... in order to create better works. For this reason, we - TGF team members - have decided to publish helpful articles, subsequently. Stay connected and up to date with our next posts and you can learn more on creative writing in general. On this note, we are sorry to reiterate that TYWA 2021 has been withdrawn. With Regards, TheGoodFelo team.

We aren't one of those people who request a glass of water when there's a variety of fruit juice flavours to savour! What an awful waste that would be. TheGoodFelo Young-Writers Awards is announcing their annual teenagers literary contest for the year 2021. For the records, Storytelling is Oxygen. Metaphor? We waited this long to catch another breath of fresh air, or is it fresh tales? And, yes, we cannot wait any longer, lest we choke! Last year was undoubtedly great as you can still see. However, TYWA 2021 has to be extra! As always, we know you know a creative teenager who can take our breath away with their incredibly awe-mazing storytelling. Please, do not hesitate to let them know we're waiting on them. Here is another opportunity for that child, friend, student, person...to take us to the moon and back. Your talent can win you our TYWA 2021 Award, free Publishing and Publicity, Cash Prizes and more, in TheGoodFelo Young-Writers Awards 2021. From what we have seen, ov

Gratitude, Strength and Beauty: My Journey to Recovery. Human strength and beauty lies within, and are all enforced by gratitude and the people around. It’s a beautiful lesson I learnt from eight chemotherapy sessions and two surgeries over the course of one year. The school year had just ended and I was finally home with my parents after three months of intense academic activity in boarding school. As I lay on the sofa, loss in thought anticipating the beautiful holiday, my mum slowly reached out to me calling my attention to a small mass she observed protruding on my right abdominal region. Although, I had observed the mass before I never seemed to be bothered, “I feel no pain there”, I told my mum. Unknown to me my mum pondered about it all through the night and called in for a doctor’s appointment.  At the hospital we ordered for a scan, and on interpreting the scan results the doctors recommended surgery to take out the mass on the thought it was just a benign tumor. Surgery was q

We welcome all our readers into the new year! In our agenda for 2021, we have decided to put out more books than posts. These books will be interesting, insightful, and above all, add value to your life. We have worked tirelessly for more than 8 months now, just to assure you that we make promises we KNOW we can keep. In this light, all our subscribers have been automatically added to our Sponsored Readership List. The most important goals of our Sponsored Readership Project this year is to ensure YOU still have access to quality content, to see that you are able to read at least 3 books in 2021; to add value to the lives of the Nigerian youth as well as other interested subscribers; and to increase our positive impact on the society.  At least, 3 new titles, both literature and self-help would be published. These books would be distributed freely to TheGoodFelo subscribers who are on the SRL -at the cost of sponsors. Hard copies would be available later at an affordable price, provide

"Rewarding CREATIVITY with a PLATFORM for Positive Influence" has been a core drive for all TGF projects. When TYWA was conceived, the vision was to create a sustainable platform that would encourage the involvement of African young writers in global literature. This leverage is therefore built to help talented writers validate their creative abilities as early as possible. It is our goal to initiate an era where more young writers can carve out a visible space for themselves, where the African voice can be heard clearly in the literary sphere. As TYWA 2020 announces its winners once again, here is a list of some enjoyable stories that would worth your time. From our Top Picks, we have: Blinded To Light by Abisola Emmanuella, Your Definition by Oluwatola Ibikunle-Aina, All Through The Mirror by Timileyin Akinmoyeje, Fear Of The Unknown by Prisca Ekoh, A Greater Reward by Gloria Owolabi, The Day Fire Rampaged by Grace Alioke. Keep anticipating the release of our 2021 Ant

Finishing is one thing, finishing strong and well is another. In September, TYWA 2020 announced an open invitation to every teenage creative mind, requesting that they submit their best short-stories. The competition climaxed after the shortlist of 19 entries, and the critical selection of some top stories that have subsequently proceeded to contend for the Read-Worthy Prize. Up until 30th of November, votes, likes, views and other forms of interactions have been collected, and now, the entire process is being rounded off. With immense gratitude to all the judges, we have come close to the border. In no special order, some of the eye-widening stories that have made it to the top of our list include: A Greater Reward, The Day Fire Rampaged, Your Definition, Fear Of The Unknown, Blinded To Light, and All Through The Mirror. Today, Dec 3rd, we announce the winners of year 2020's TYWA contest, as well as the recipient of the Read-Worthy Prize. Forward all enquiries and feedback to our

 14 - THE DAY FIRE RAMPAGED Favour Grace Alioke lives in Mowe, Ogun (18 years old). This story was slightly edited for grammatical accuracy and to better serve TGF readers. The originality of the story is 100% intact. The sun was standing still like the policeman at Ayikara junction, making your clothes wet with your sweats as Haija was weaving your hair into six backward cornrows. Mama Halima ran into your compound, shouting, "Wuta! Wuta! Wuta tana ko'ina o! Fire! Fire! Fire is already everywhere o!" Maybe you would not have believed it if you didn't see people running helter-skelter, some clustering into one another, some pushing others away; if you didn't stretch and see fire tearing down a building. You jumped, as if frightened by a ghost, clasped your two-months old baby that was crawling on the floor, and started running too. You didn't even look back to check for Haija or Mama Halima, you just kept going where your legs were leading you, or perhaps, wh
