The Steady Growth of Nigerian Oral Literature Association

It was in July 2010 in Mombasa, Kenya, that a few of us, Nigerians, attending the conference of the International Society for Oral Literatures in Africa (ISOLA)  started to brainstorm about the Nigerian Oral Literature Association. We were encouraged and challenged by what the Kenyan Oral Literature Association was doing. At the strategic meeting to discuss the life of NOLA in far-away Kenya, the voices of G.G.Darah, Okey Okwechime, Mark Osamagbe Ighile, Leticia Nyitse and Nereus Tadi were loud and distinct. Thank God for the successful 2010 and 2013 conferences of NOLA. Thank God for the NOLA Journal.
