HBO Is Turning Nnedi Okorafor’s Book, ‘Who Fears Death’, Into A TV Series

Award-winning Nigerian fantasy/science fiction writer, Nnedi Okoraforannounced on Twitter yesterday that her critically acclaimed novel, Who Fears Death, has been optioned by HBO and is now been developed into a TV show executive produced by George R.R. Martin.

George R.R. Martin is the author of best-selling series of fantasy books Game of Thrones. He’s also the executive producer of the Game of Thrones TV show, adapted from the books, and optioned by HBO. So if anyone can make Nnedi’s book come alive in the best way, it’s him.

Nnedi’s writing is unique, in that she blends science fiction with the Nigerian cultural heritage, while shattering stereotypes about Africans and women. The book, Who Fears Death, embodies that perfectly. It tells the story of a powerful girl, Onyesonwu, whose mother survived rape and the annihilation of their village, and now fights for her life and against discrimination in a magical journey.

According to Nnedi, this development has been in the works for four years, and she will be overseeing the adaptation:

“I am very involved. I also know George well (we met in 2014 and I stayed in touch); he’s been a sort of mentor to me through all this. And all those involved know what this story is; Onyesonwu is in good good hands.”

Knowing Nnedi’s track record, which includes the novella, Binti, which won both the 2016 Nebula Award and 2016 Hugo Award; and George R.R. Martin’s track record; he’s still holding our attention with Game of Thrones; and HBO’s penchant for picking the most interesting TV shows, we cannot wait for the release of this series.

"A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide" By Tolu Olumide | fab.ng

Tolu Olumide, a young and inspiring business leader under 40, has written a new book. The book is titled “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide“. Tolu is the cousin to Familusi Akin Babajide., CEO at UNDER40CEOs.

The book was launched at a special event and FAB.NG, a Nigerian media company, was there to see it happen live.

This book, “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide” is essential for several reasons.

First, it takes a complete approach to health. It gives practical advice about food and nutrition. This advice can help manage and maybe even improve the health and behaviour of people with certain conditions. These conditions include autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and allergies. It also covers other conditions that affect how people develop.

Second, the book is full of useful information. It shares ideas that are based on scientific evidence. This makes it a valuable resource for many people. Parents can use it to help their children. Caregivers can use it to support better the people they look after. Professionals who work with people who have these conditions can also learn a lot from this book.

Third, the book gives power to families. It provides clear steps that families can take. These steps can help create a healthier home environment. This environment can better support family members who have these conditions.

On sharing this information on his social media, Familusi expressed how very proud he is of Tolu. His caption read,

Familusi believes the book is something everyone should read.

He thinks it will be especially helpful for people who care for individuals with autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, or other similar conditions.

At the end of the post, Familusi reiterated his pride in his cousin by saying, “Congratulations on this incredible achievement Tolu!’

Tolu has achieved something amazing by writing this book. It shows her dedication to helping others. She has used her knowledge and experience to create a resource that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

The launch of the book was a special moment. It was a chance to celebrate Tolu’s hard work and the potential impact of her book. Having FAB.NG there to witness the event adds to its significance. It shows that the book launch was an important event that attracted media attention.

Nigerian singer Davido has always cultivated a culture of sharing is caring in all aspects of his life.


The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.
And that is not enough. The musician has always been praised for always helping the people around him despite their status in the community.

It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.

A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.
