A few months ago, Wiisdom Ekwere dropped a poster in my DM about a writing competition organized by Literal Guide Publishers. I remember not being so sure about registering because I received the information late, but he encouraged me to try it out anyway. On the 4th of March, I reached out to the organizers of the contest, and completed registration on the 7th, together with Inimfon Udoh, who I told about the contest when I met him. Fast forward to two months later; I submitted the first draft of my manuscript. It had taken a month to get it ready, and I was proud of myself for putting something together. Let me not bore you with the tales of the following months of waiting while working on distributing my debut novel and building my brand, Loyallove Nightfall. Yesterday, the 23rd of July, was the Grand Finale of the competition. Since I couldn't make it to Lagos for the prize giving ceremony, I had Timothy Adoh proudly represent me at the occasion. After a series of t...

I cannot remember a time I didn't love reading stories. From the moment my puny fists grabbed a book for the first time, I was hooked. I have come to a point where I feed on books.  I cannot stay a month without at least having something fun to read. Did I say a month? I'd get really disturbed if I don't see something interesting to read within 24 hours!  Therefore, it was kind of inevitable for my brain to give out what I fed to it. Hence, my writing began. I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I cannot recount the amount of shredded notes containing cringe worthy stories I wrote in my scrawny handwriting as a kid. Well, here I am, years later, with a published full length novel. A real, well written piece of art. A dream coming true at last. Somehow, all those years I wrote stories I knew the world would never see, I realized it was all some kind of starting point. I knew one day, I would write a piece the world would appreciate. And I have absolu...

But determined to improve their lives while going against the world they live in, Olive, her twin brother and her friends are ready to achieve their goals, no matter the cost. Want to find out how? Go along with Olive as she traverses air and land, breathes through water and walks through the woods. Backlash was released on the 19th of March, 2022.

Hello everyone! I noticed I have new friends and followers, so I would like to officially reintroduce myself. My name is Imamfonido Okon, but I go by the penname Loyallove Nightfall. Why the penname? Easy, it's not that much of a deviation from my name, just a refined translation. Besides, my native name might be a little difficult to pronounce for non - indigenes. Speaking of indigenes, I am a native of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. I speak, read and write three languages - Ibibio/Efik, English and Pidgin West Africa. I am currently learning Yoruba, so feel free to bring it on anytime! I attended Bright Stars Model Secondary School, Uyo, where my creative writing began. A teacher discovered my talent and singled me out for coaching. So I simply developed myself that way. In my last introduction, I referred to myself as an extroverted extrovert. Someone suggested I take a personality test, and the result showed I'm an entertainer! That would account for most of my attr...
