Abstract
Ayòbámi Adébáyò, a highly acclaimed Nigerian author, discusses her writing process and the role of different languages in her books. Her novels explore themes of marriage, childlessness, and social inequalities in Nigeria. Adébáyò incorporates a mix of English and the Ijesa dialect of Yoruba in her writing, which reflects her personal experiences and the language of intimacy for her. She believes that Nigerian English is a valid expression and aims to balance reaching an international audience while staying authentic to the Nigerian experience. [Extracted from the article]
