About

Khaki Classics

Features
Read full description

Khaki Classics combines the art of storytelling (novels, short stories, poems, plays, etc.) with technology delivered in the web App, determined to be a driving force in the field of publishing in Nigerian literature by challenging conventional wisdom. This literary revolution is rapidly growing the number of young Nigerian authors with such creative ingenuity that will stun even the adepts of literature, especially corps members, from whom the name Khaki Classics was coined owing to their khaki regalia. The dream started with their literary works which were created during their service and published upon the completion of their service year and has since extended to include other literary works from like-minded writers. All books will be read from the App which is downloadable from the Apple App Store. The App became preferred over the printed works because it has the capacity to reach a wider range of readers, especially several thousands of corps members and secondary students with whom they interact, and all lovers of beautiful literature from around the world. Our fulcrum in business is the creation of enthralling short stories, plays, and poems that make for pleasurable reading without boundaries as to class, age, tribe or intellectual leanings. We seek, always, to infuse patriotism in our works so as to leave each reader a better citizen, or human, as the case may be, than ever before they came in touch with our books. Khaki Classics, therefore, is building a rarefied community of human beings, both as writers and as readers. The introduction of our products into the literary market will even achieve this objective more fitly. Quite a number of our publications from corps members are compiled as projects grouped under various themes comprising several short stories. Some of these projects include, Refined at the Trek, Blacksmith, AncestorZ (Sorosoke), AncestorZ (Resurrected), and Into Tomorrow. One way to spot such stories is that there is always one or more corps member character(s) in each story. Opicina’s approach to business is founded on world’s best practices as our portfolio of products and services are made, not only to meet stringent specifications of the literary genre which we represent, but also the provision of regular trainings and efficient support systems under the platform of the Classical Writers club for our young authors as hallmarks upon which Khaki Classics builds its reputation. Opicina Nigeria Limited is indeed set up and managed by highly efficient and dedicated professionals with versatile experience in writing and communication, editing, general management, financial management, project management and human resource management spanning several years. In conclusion, at Opicina Nigeria Limited, we firmly believe that only a dedication to quality in the provision of our products and services can earn us the trust and confidence of our readers. We are, therefore, forging ahead to become even better by pursuing excellence that would provide world-class reading experience to our ever widening audience.
