The Editor-in-Chief of Sentinel Nigeria, Richard Ali spoke to me this morning about a kind of gradual introduction of a reward scheme for best performing writers published in Sentinel Nigeria magazine. I figured it was a brilliant idea.
We are yet to roll out an honorarium programme for the magazine, but yes, I agree that the writers who are doing us proud should get a a handshake now and then to help their pens do more.
There is yet no pattern for this, but we will work something out. To get the ball rolling, I have asked Richard to buy lunch for a small sum of N1,000.00 for Ukamaka Evelyn Olisakwe whose story ‘Girl to Woman’ has been literally kicking butt in the magazine this quarter. It has remained the most read item in the magazine for more than 3 weeks and its popularity is not appearing to wane. One gee is not much but as Ukamaka bites into some meats on Sentinel, she should be thinking about her next Sentinel Nigeria story.

Enjoy, Ukamaka
