Obsessed with finding out the truth, and after 1 year of mystery shopping and research, here are our selected best copywriters in Nigeria that you can trust and hire.
Warning: the writers considered here are not regular journalists but freelance contentwriters and copywriters in Nigeria.
#1 Emmanuel Okonkwo
Emmanuel Okonkwo began writing from his secondary school days after being mesmerized by the magic touch of Literature. He won several awards in secondary school and was popularly called ‘The Next Wole Soyinka’.
This fine writer got the attention of several international bodies like the IJR and was recruited while at the University to write for some of the world’s best marketing agencies, magazines and writing platforms. He did a lot of ghost writing for Forbes, Bella-Naija, Tekedia, Quora, etc while his name crippled into oblivion, but not for long. Soon he advanced to R-Squared one of the 50-world-leading marketers, and worked shortly for Rareiio a leading Australian marketing agency.
He writes strategically for SEO and readers engagement with a high lead conversion rate. He writes for business related subjects, technology, lifestyle and food, critiques, and academics. His combined degrees and diploma in philosophy & communications, IP law, copywriting and content marketing, Google SEO, etc makes him quite good.
He eventually founded De Critic and soon led the agency to become the best copywriting agency in Nigeria-Africa with awards from MEA Africa, AI Global and Sortlist. De Critic team serviced a lot of top-notch companies and agencies. Emmanuel Okonkwo lives in Lagos Nigeria and Cape Town, South Africa.
