Jonas Dogara, a writer and blogger who comment on politics and the attitudes of the average Nigerian

The use of New Media in general and blogs in particular is very important, especially for the young and young-at-heart in Nigeria and Nigerians in the diaspora. Port Harcourt being named the World Book Capital in 2014 is a very welcome development

He grew up devouring every reading matter he could lay his hands on, sometimes with disastrous consequences. He has burnt a few of his mum’s delicious soups, while trying to heat them up and read an interesting book at the same time. His Twitter is @nfsqueezed

When did you start writing?
I have been writing bits and pieces of stories, poems and songs since I was in secondary school and have never stopped since then. I began to take it more seriously very recently after a smart man wrote an article that seemed to speak directly to me.

When did you start writing? Does it come from family?
I grew up with writing as a major part of expression; both my parents are trained teachers and we had ample room for reading and writing.

On your way to write, do you have any mania when you write?
I have a preference for writing short articles on the current affairs and the state of the Nigerian nation focusing on reviving the spirit of the new Nigeria.
