dc.description.abstract	This work juxtaposes traditional magical elements with science fictional materials. The paper specifically examines magical elements in the two novels of Nnedi Okorafor’s What Sunny Saw in Flames (2011) and African Science Fiction in her Lagoon (2014), considering the novelty of science fiction in Nigerian literature. The analysis reveals that both What Sunny Saw in Flames and Lagon thrive on Nigeria magical elements, especially as the author employs the myth of leopard-people to counter mystical stereotypes associated with albinism in Nigeria.	en_US
