Chimamanda Adichie, Uzodinma Iweala and a bunch of other amazing writers are proof that Nigerian books deserve a spot on the big screen.

23-year-old Tomi Adeyemi’s debut fantasy novel, ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ recently got signed by Fox 2000 – which means another Nigerian adapted film will hit the cinemas real soon!

The Black Lives Matter- inspired book (which is not even published yet), tells the story of a little girl, Zelie Adebola and her stand against oppression.

While details of the film are still unknown, we can only wait impatiently to see how great this film turns out.

Also, you can keep up with Tomi Adeyemi’s work w=on her website, TomiAdeyemi.com.
