I knew Babila Mutia at the University of Benin where we schooled together - always knew his love for the literary arts. When his short story was broadcast by the BBC in 1979, you could see his joy and couldn't but be proud of him. All his friends,together with him then, fondly referred to one another as Opitia(not sure of the spelling and it's meaning)
I would appreciate Babila getting in touch through my +234 802 324 3997
Thanks
