About Me
I work as a Content Editor with a leading publishing company in Nigeria, Literamed Publications Nigeria Limited. My work as a content editor cuts across so many sections: providing/editing contents (product description, promotional/ educational articles, etc.) for the company’s website and numerous social media platforms.
Due to my versatility, I also take charge of the e-commerce activities on the website; checking for the orders and processing the orders.
On volunteer level, I work as an Associate Web Editor for Saraba Magazine, a literary magazine aimed at ‘creating unending voices by publishing the finest emerging writers, with a bias for Nigeria, and Africa.’
On the same (volunteer) level, I also recently took up a Lexicographer job with Yorubaname.com, an online intervention to preserve and document all Yorùbá names in a multimedia format.
On a personal level, I run an arts and literary blog (www.artsnliterurenews.wordpress.com) where I feature my (and other writers’) stories, essays, and reviews. The blog also features up-to-date news about writing opportunities and other relevant events.
I have a BA in Literature from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Presently, I am looking forward to getting opportunities to pursue a postgraduate course in Comparative literature, precisely African and Arabic literature.

Lawan Dalha Can one consider students' essays as documents in a Grounded Theory study? As I understand, interviews, observations and documents are the three common sources of data in Grounded Theory studies. Can I consider students' essays (in this context, marked essays) as documents in addition to interviewing them and observing their classes? -

November 19, 2018 5:03 PM GMTin the topic Does learning improves when every student gets a laptop? in the forum Teaching Methodology
The impact of technology in education can never be underestimated. Thus, having a laptop has a potential to greatly improve a student's learning. However, technology, as it is today, is double-edged. When students are properly guided, technology can greatly enhance knowledge acquisition. However, technology can turn out a mere distraction to students without proper orientation and guidance.
