Original content only please. We are not keen on content used elsewhere. Please submit work that is original and naturally, written by you.
Writing voice and tone. Unless what you are writing about is a very personal account, we prefer that you write in the third person. In a friendly tone that takes the audience along.
Word count. We prefer that any article submitted for us should contain a minimum of 800 words.
Listing can be fun! We love lists at the end of your article. For example, If you write about Lagos markets. Write a list of 5 Fun things about Lagos market, after the main article.

- Good social media presence. Sharing your contribution on your social media as well as your friends will get you work on Haba noticed even more, we love that.
- Use your smartphone camera! A picture tells a thousand words. An original photo, taken by you tells a much better story than a stock phone used by hundreds of other sites. If you can provide use unique photos with your article, awesome!
House writing style
