CITADEL OF LIFE INTERVIEW WITH KOLAWOLE PAUL TAIYE

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
Briefly introduce yourself

 Kolawole Paul:
I am Kolawole Paul Taiye.From a family of eight children.I love to
'read and write,' and presently studying English and literary studies
at Kogi State University,Anyigba.You should definitely know it is in
Kogi state by virtue of the 'naming' after the state.

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
How did you come about writing?

 Kolawole Paul:
 Hmmm.I did come about writing from cradle.Because i have been writing
from when i was an infant.But to deal with question from a microscopic
view: I started 'writing' when i was in secondary school having been
influence by my literary master who was/is a writer(a poet).He
initiated me into the literary world.

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
What type of writing are you engaged in?


 Kolawole Paul:
 Poetry especially.

 Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
Are you a published writer?

 Kolawole Paul:
 Yes...In print and online...You can't afford to be a writer without
being published.The name 'writer,' automatically draws 'publishing.'

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
Where do you draw your insight of writing?

 Kolawole Paul:
 I draw my insight right from myself,people like you (or maybe not
like you),the society at large and even the world in its entirety

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
 Who are your favourite authors?

 Kolawole Paul:
 It is a difficult question for me because of the department in which
i found myself in school.In the department of English and literary
studies,every author recommended should be your favourite whether you
like it or not.But for the sake of you and your question.I would read
any title from Charles Dickens,Dan brown,Chinua Achebe,Wole
Soyinka,chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and others that memory and time would
not permit me to mention.

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
 What are your plans for the future in writing?

 Kolawole Paul:
 Having a mind nourished by books,i meant good books.I also intend to
bring writers together under a personal platform(name reserved).Also i
intend to make publishing a thing at every writer's finger tips...

Sunsampaul d PHILOSOPHER:
Thank you so much sir. We're pleased to have you

Kolawole Paul:
 you're welcome.I am pleased to be your interviewee.
