I enjoyed his style. snoopcester Send a noteboard - 01/02/2010 12:07:07 PM
Part of that is probably because I've worked with a few Nigerians over the years and his style of writing was similar to their style of speech. Made it seem authentic rather than just a copy of a Western style of writing which wouldn't have fitted.
