This anthology is a product <strong>of</strong> a thought -an idea- carelessly tossed on Facebook. I never<br />
knew it was one that will come true so soon. Thank you Seun Odukoya for that very<br />
comment that sparked this to life. May greatness never leave you.<br />
It would have been very easy for this to remain an idea, one <strong>of</strong> many floating on facebook<br />
like discarded debris on still waters. But it didn’t. Thanks to a squad <strong>of</strong> relentless writers who<br />
saw the potential <strong>of</strong> the idea and chose to bless it with their awesomeness. To the amazing<br />
writers who contributed their tales to this anthology, thank you; for believing in me and my<br />
idea, and for those exciting times we’ve had on the TFTOS group. May our ‘wrustles’ take<br />
us to heights far beyond our dreams. You guys rock, walahi.<br />
Many thanks to the editorial team for taking time out <strong>of</strong> their schedules to work on this,<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten to abnormal deadlines. Your efforts, guys, have reposed a good dose <strong>of</strong> belief in this<br />
collection. I owe you all. Thank you very much.<br />
The Oluaye <strong>of</strong> the Other Side, Ikhide Ikheloa, deserves special thanks for his words <strong>of</strong><br />
advice, encouragements and for taking time to read the manuscript. Thank you sir for being<br />
amazing on every front.<br />
My friend Richard Ali deserves a mention for taking me through some <strong>of</strong> the intricacies<br />
involved in publishing and for being gracious enough to write us a blurb. Someday, if East<br />
Africa doesn’t make you one <strong>of</strong> her own, we’d sit at the table <strong>of</strong> men and revel in the New<br />
Dawn sure to come for Nigerian -and African- publishing.
