‘Africans Do Read’ Tobi Eyinade’s First Draft  

Co-founder of Rovingheights Bookstore, Tobi Eyinade, disagrees with the belief that Africans do not read: ‘Rovingheights would not be here after nine years if that sentiment holds true.

While the numbers may not match those of other continents, we have come a long way.’
