To show the world that Africa, especially Nigeria, has a lot of untapped talent, Jewel Fitila recently put his writing skill to the test with

what many have ascribed as the first science fiction novel in Africa.

“Darksand is an experience that brought me to the realisation that as we cut down trees, we are also cutting down humans and other life forms that depend on those trees chopped down to survive.” With these revelations, he noted that Darksand would soon hit the big screen as the first sci-fi movie by an African whose characters are partly Africans.

Stressing on the need for Africans to tell their own stories, the author noted there are so many things to write about the continent. According to him, Darksand revealed that life started in Africa with a black man, which we all know as Adam, adding that a lot of people are still finding it difficult to believe this.
