Female rapper ,Eva Alordiah covers GUARDIAN LIFE,speaks about her book on S3X.

Did you know that female rapper, Eva Alordiah wrote a book about s*x? The femcee has finally revealed her reasons for doing so and also gave reasons why s*x shouldn’t be a hard topic to talk about as she covers Guardian Life.





Popular Nigerian rapper, make-up artist, fashion designer and writer, Elohor Eva Alordiah, better known by her stage name as Eva Alordiah or simply Eva, who is considered one of the best female rappers in Nigeria, is the cover star for the latest edition of Guardian Life Magazine.

The jack of all trades recently released her debut album, "1960" to critical acclaim. However, it is her career as a writer that has raised eyebrows. In May of this year, she released "11", a collection of short s*xual stories and seeing that s*x is like a taboo subject in many Nigerian homes, she opened up to the publication on why she chose to write a book that deals primarily on s*x.

Below are excerpts from the chat;

Tell us a little bit about Eva

I am really a very simple a person. I love nature; I literally bask in the wonders of the clouds and seas, I love when I run in the mornings and my body takes in the air in all its freshness. I am a thinker, in the sense that I tend to live in and out of my head for several moments in time, analyzing, planning, wondering, imagining. I love food but I don’t eat much. I love cats but I don’t have one yet cause I have a dog now, Frankie, and still haven’t figured out how to introduce Frankie to a cat and have them live harmoniously if I do get one. I have a wonderful family and the best moments of my life are the ones they are in.

You aren’t known for your music alone, and dabble in quite a number of creative arts. Why is this?

I guess I must say I have been blessed with quite a number of talents, some not yet developed. I am conscious not to get myself into too many things however, as this can rob any creative person of the power to focus. Asides music and performing which is my core, I am also a Makeup artist, a writer and a fashion designer. I love Makeup. I know how to do it and the joy for me is to teach others and this is what I am currently doing on my YouTube page “theEvaAlordiahLife”.

The intention is to have connected with at least 1 Million African girls around the world. Writing for me is something I remember quite vividly that I wanted to do as a child and in the past I have written for magazines and blogs, but right now I am also writing books. People aren’t reading anymore, especially younger people, and this is the sect that houses my core fan base. I figured if they followed me then they’d love to read me too and if I can get them to read then I most certainly would keep on writing. Doing other things asides music is probably how I stay sane you know?

Was this phase of your life what resulted in you writing and then publishing your book?

I have always been writing. This phase of my life was more the time where I realigned with my truest purpose and found a deeper understanding of why I am here. I was then able to appreciate the downtime and used it to reflect, sit in the silence and I was able to write and complete my first collection of short stories, “11”. Writing is probably the best thing to do when you are feeling depressed. Reading and writing. When you are depressed, your thoughts are clouded by negativity and fear and doubt. When you read you are able to override these thoughts by feeding your mind and soul new positive powerful information that can even spur you to action. And action is the killer of depression.


Speaking of your book? What has the reception been towards 11?

It has been wonderful so far. Everyone who has read the book appreciates the diversity of the stories and I find that people do want to talk about sex. We do have things we want to say on the subject but don’t because of the society that we live in. I think we have it all backwards if we must continue to go on being hypocritical on the subject of s*x.

The book itself isn’t about sex; it just has stories that revolve around the emotions and decisions that we deal with as human beings because of sexual acts.
