NEW LITERARY VOICE EMERGES AS GOODNESS ADEBOLU PREPARES TO LAUNCH ‘A WOMAN’S WAR’

 

By Wole Adedoyin

All is set for the much-anticipated public unveiling of A Woman’s War, a compelling new title by Goodness Adebolu, popularly known by her pen name, Ola Chi. The book launch event is scheduled to hold tomorrow, Saturday, May 17th, 2025, at 3PM at Alliance Française, Seventh Day Adventist Road, Iyaganku, Ibadan.

A Woman’s War is a bold and evocative literary work that explores the strength, struggles, and inner battles faced by women in a society where their voices are often muffled. Blending powerful storytelling with a deep understanding of gender dynamics, Adebolu’s newest offering promises to ignite conversation and provoke thought.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Goodness Adebolu developed her love for literature early in life, thanks to the influence of her mother’s reading habits and her father’s thoughtful gift of books during school holidays. Her storytelling journey started in childhood, eventually evolving into a rich writing career that spans short fiction, blogging, and playwriting.

The author first gained literary recognition in 2019 when her short story Adizah was named third runner-up in the Princewill Okigbo Short Story Prize. Since then, she has continued to captivate readers, with another work titled The News now available on Amazon.

Goodness Adebolu wears many hats: she is an international English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, a committed blogger, a budding playwright, and an emerging voice in African literature. She is also a member of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Oyo State Chapter, and a teacher trainee with the British Council.

In anticipation of the launch, Adebolu stated, “A Woman’s War is more than a play; it is a tribute to the silent battles women fight every day. I wrote this book for every woman who has had to rise, resist, and reclaim her space in the world.” The event promises to be an inspiring gathering of literature lovers, feminists, educators, and creatives.

Guests attending the launch will enjoy readings from the book, an interactive Q&A session with the author, book signings, and light refreshments. The event is open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure their seats.

Those interested in supporting the launch through sponsorship or seeking further information are invited to call Goodness directly on 07039825167 or send an email to goodnessadebolu@gmail.com.

With A Woman’s War, Goodness Adebolu cements her place as a rising literary voice in Nigeria. This launch event promises not just a celebration of a new book, but a reaffirmation of literature’s power to reflect, challenge, and heal.
