QUIT ORDER NOTICE: OPC BLOWS HOT



QUIT ORDER NOTICE: OPC BLOWS HOT

Wale Odunsi

Following the quit  order notice recently issued by the Niger Delta militants, to bothe the Yorubas and the northerners  living in the region, the Oodua People’s Congress, (OPC) has warned southern leaders to caution the Niger Delta Agitators (NDA)




 OPC said any attempt to effect the provocation will lead to serious consequences.




A statement on Friday by National Coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams, condemned the threat, saying such “could deflate the robust relationship being experienced by the Southwest and the Southern counterpart.”

 He observed that the deadline issued by John Duku, NDA leader, was the second in recent time.



 We know that the position of the militants may not reflect that of their leaders.




“Hence, there is a need for them to speak out against the move of the group.




”We see the Southerners as friends but we are not in any way comfortable with the threat to quit ”, Adams stated.

 




He informed the NDA that there were more indigenes of their region in the Southwest, warning that “Yorubas must be safe in Niger Delta.”‎

How to WRITE the first chapter of your book







In your first chapter, you will want to set the scene, mood and the tone of your story. Introduce your theme, provide details – paint the picture of this issue at hand .

Most book buyers unconsciously follow certain procedures before buying a book. First, they take a look at the cover page . Then the title, when they are satisfied that the book will be useful to them, they move over to the blurb (About the Book and the Author – to read the publisher’s summarized content. And then the background of the author. If they have the opportunity, they read a few lines in the first chapter or introduction. There and then, a conclusion is drawn: The book is either bought or dropped!
So what sometimes determine the sell -ability of your book depends on the beauty of the first chapter.

It must catchy  and good enough to hold your reader and make them want to go ahead. In this case the FIRST SENTENCE must doo this magic. If not the book is dead… dropped.
The power of the first few sentences leads you to follow the writer’s beckoning, seducing you to enter his imagination. They seem to say, Come on this journey with me.

Some  Opening Lines Or First Sentences.

How would you feel if  you are reading a book that  started like this:
                       Chapter 1
“I was five years old the first time I ever set foot in prison”. —Jimmy Santiago Baca , A Place to Stand (2001)
Won’t you want to know what happens next?
 Consider these too:
1.                   It’s not about you. —Rick Warren, … from  Purpose Driven Life (

2.      It’s a wonderful tine to live.   (Brian Tracy.

3.     In the beginning God created heaven and earth (  Moses, the Bible.

No matter the field, a  book’s opening lines are crucial in determining your interest in what the author has in store for you. Those first few words set the template for your willingness to travel along the story’s path..
Each sequence of sentences  must hook the reader instantaneously by its masterful use of language; and as importantly, delivers an undeniable aura of mystery and apprehension.

Consider these till  I come again…   from..Mike Okhihiemen
