Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on December 27, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Chris Abani! May your day be filled with more excitement than Elvis's adventures in "GraceLand," and may you master the board of life as effortlessly as you've mastered storytelling. Your novels have taken us on journeys richer than a Nigerian feast—spicy, vibrant, unforgettable.

From captivating readers since 1987’s “Sirocco” to enchanting poetry lovers through vivid imagery in “Dog Woman,” your literary brilliance continues to inspire laughter and reflection alike. Here's hoping this birthday brings joy brighter than Lagos nightlife—and that every chapter ahead is even better written (if that's possible!). Cheers to another year of timeless creativity!
