I always wondered if those stories were true So one day,I wrote a story as if it was real,went to the post office and posted it to Hints magazine. Colour me shocked when my story actually featured in the magazine. I guess there is no way for them to know which story Is true or fake. This was in 1998-99 as I just finished WAEC and was attending Jamb Lessons. Good old days!
Binta( my daughter) for teenagers too. I preferred hints to heart magazine... Amebo corner by Stella in economium with her alphabetical and numerical codings...
Hints haa good old days, I must buy hints and heart every blessed week, I wonder where all those male authors are now, Mr p, dozie, Toni Kan, I also remember fatherhood with one, this is bringing back sweet memories.
Funny enough i've read all hints magazines same with James Hardly Chase novels. I was in secondary school then. Trying to read all Chimamanda Adiches books cos they are so educative and interesting.
Wow! Regina Askia, Liz Benson & co π I remember one bobo that was toasting me then. Immediately HInts magazine comes out, he gets me a fresh copy. Life sweet then o π
Oooo Stella...the nostalgia. Hmmmm... Those were the days. I preferred hints over hearts. They had chronicles too. Don't know if they were made up but they made for quite an enjoyable read.
Dante (yes, our Dante here ) writes like and seems to have the temperament of the author behind the Tommy Lee Jones column in hints or hearts. I can't really remember which. I also loved Tony Kan's column and former NNPC Gmd's column as well. Those magazines were collectors items. They should be.
I liked the soft erotica angle they were coming from. That was a nice touch.
Among those queens, it's Eucharia that is mostly in our faces now. Liz is now a Mummy G.O Regina is now a Mummy nurse doing other things Steph Nora Okere, I don't know her whereabouts
The good old days. I started buying this magazine when it was sold for #250, then it increased to #300, then they made it bigger, or should I say longer, and started to sell it for #500. I never missed an edition. I had even communicated with Editor (Wale) one time I was looking for a pen pal.
My secondary school days. I used to borrow hints and hearts magazines from my aunty that never misses to buy them weekly to read. I'll put it in my bag and read it during break time at school. I loved the anonymous stories from people and the columns too.
I used to believe the stories in Hints and Hearts magazines were fake until I read on this blog where a Bv said she sent a story to them and they published it. I miss those good old days.
