Please, Contest In Pure Nupe Creative Writing (Nupe Prize) and Win N200,000.00 Naira.
As many things move a society to a greater heights, many things kill it to a low count. And anytime you are part of those who nourish it, your heart will be at rest and even the community itself you sprinkles water on will continue to grow green.
If you recall, we started pure Nupe Language worldwide writing Competition from Nupe School for the sons and daughters of Kinnupe to enable us to see the greatness in our children’s Nupe writing ability and we were moved and thrilled by the way and manner we received entries that made us to have a hope for the generation yet unborn.
Alhaji Ismaila Usman Sarki, Sarkin Arewan Nupe came up with the idea of NUPE ANNUAL PRIZE as he related the whole thing to how NOBEL PRIZE started across the world through Afred Nobel in 1895.
We developed the idea and made it a course to celebrate our sons and daughters who distinguished themselves in Nupe creative writing.
Look, anything you see around the world big today, started small.
The first Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded in 1901 to Sully Prudhomme of France. Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years.
Professor Wole Soyinka was awarded in 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first sub-Saharan African to be honoured in that category.
If you check the History of Professor Abdulrazak Gurnerh the second Nobel Laurette for literature in Africa, you will agree that patience pays in every sphare of live endeavours. The prize was taking away from Africa for 35 years and now returns. Who really knows when it is coming back again?
Thereafter, there is HAUSA PRIZE and YORUBA PRIZE for annual creative writing which today it is our joy that this year shall be the second year for Nupe Prize too.
However, last year, NUPE PRIZE FOR CREATIVE WRITING goes to Aisha Hussaina Idris Manarakis as judged by Alhaji Alhassan Wasagi, Comrade Mohammed Jibrin and Hajiya Habiba Mohammed and the Money attached to the Nupe Prize was N100,000.00 only.
By God’s Grace we have an increase this year to N200,000.00 naira, and we shall announce the winner on 19th November, 2021.
Signed
Nupe School,
14th October, 2021.
