 Divine Inyang Titus is the winner of the 2024 Toyin Falola Prize! Divine=
 becomes the second Nigerian to win this prestigious prize=2C after Abdulr=
ahim Hussani (2022). His narrative introduces us to Ikem=2C a deeply confl=
icted protagonist navigating existential dilemmas=2C family turmoil=2C tra=
uma=2C detachment=2C loss=2C and spiritual crises=E2=80=94particularly fol=
lowing the death of his brother and the breakdown of his family.

When we called for submissions under the theme of the sacred=2C we sought=
 not just broad and bold interpretations=2C but also an aesthetic finesse=
 that could elevate those interpretations. Divine=E2=80=99s profound and i=
ntrospective journey with Ikem achieves exactly this. Like Ikem=2C readers=
 are left pondering the powerful question=2C =E2=80=9CWhat else is sacred=
 in this world if not this love=2C this life?=E2=80=9D

Our judges describe it as =E2=80=9Ca compelling exploration of the tension=
 between cultural heritage and modern identity. Its narrative skillfully b=
alances humor=2C spiritual conflict=2C tragedy=2C and existential question=
ing. The power of the story lies in its raw authenticity=2C its ability to=
 evoke both empathy and introspection=2C making it a deserving winner in t=
his contest.=E2=80=9D

=E2=80=9CFibers from the Deep=E2=80=9D brilliantly resonates with broader=
 societal issues=2C including the lingering impact of violence=2C poverty=
=2C and the tensions between tradition and modernity. The story invites us=
 to confront the existential questions that shape our identities and chall=
enge our beliefs=2C making it a truly exceptional piece of work.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Divine Inyang Titus for this re=
markable achievement=2C and to all the participants for their creativity a=
nd enthusiasm. With over 300 submissions from across the continent and the=
 diaspora=2C we are very grateful to our dedicated readers and esteemed ju=
dges=2C Professor Gilbert Ndi-Shang and Chinua Ezenwa-Ohaeto=2C for their=
 unwavering effort and support.

Now in its 4th year=2C the Toyin Falola Prize continues to celebrate Afric=
an writers who challenge=2C inspire=2C and push the boundaries of storytel=
ling. We look forward to showcasing more exceptional stories from talented=
 voices across the continent.
