Biyi Bandele (born Biyi Bandele-Thomas; 13 October 1967)〔Micah L. Issitt, ("Bandele, Biyi" ), Contemporary Black Biography, 2009. Encyclopedia.com, retrieved 12 October 2015.〕 is a Nigerian novelist, playwright and filmmaker. Bandele is regarded as one of the most versatile and prolific of the UK-based Nigerian writers, having turned his hand to theatre, journalism, television, film and radio, as well as the fiction with which he made his name. He lives in London, where he moved in 1990.〔 == Nigeria to London == Bandele was born to Yoruba parents in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, Nigeria in 1967. His father Solomon Bamidele Thomas was a veteran of the Burma Campaign in World War 2,〔 while Nigeria was still part of the British Empire. Bandele spent the first 18 years of his life in the northern part of the country being most at home in the Hausa cultural tradition. Described as a precocious child, Bandele had early ambitions to be a writer and when he was 14 years old won a short-story competition.〔James Gibbs, ("Bandele, Biyi (1967–)" ), in Eugene Benson and L. W. Conolly (eds), ''Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English'', Routledge, 2004, p. 96.〕 Later on, he moved to Lagos, then in 1987 studied drama at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.〔Isa Soares and Lauren Said-Moorhouse, ("Biyi Bandele: Making movies to tell Africa's real stories" ), CNN, 4 March 2014.〕〔 He won the International Student Playscript competition of 1989 with an unpublished play, ''Rain'', before claiming the 1990 British Council Lagos Award for an unpublished collection of poems.〔 When that year, aged 22, he went to London, invited to a theatre festival, he had with him the manuscripts of two novels he had written.〔 Soon after he arrived in the UK he had found a publisher and been given a commission by the Royal Court Theatre.〔
