Imperatives Of The Nigerian Revolution By 'Dele Farotimi
& ldquo;The Imperatives of the Nigerian Revolution & rdquo; is an engaging laborious, if disturbing, work which presents a contemporary understanding of the disintegrating Nigerian country in an interpretative analysis of socio-political forces, their emergence, metamorphosis, dynamics, effects and consequences from the viewpoint of a citizen deeply concerned to save the entity from her entrenched and mushrooming insanity. Farotimi has not only brought great insights into understanding and explanation of Nigeria's calamitous condition, but offers prescription for its redemption, essentially on a Ghandian Pacifist Model, as so admirably presented by Taiwo Akinlami, the well-known Child Rights protection activist and promoter, an age-long collaborator of Farotimi... I salute the patriotic passion and intellectualism of the writer even as I have reservations about his redemptive prescriptions. Nonetheless, the work is a strong nod that Nigeria despite her grievous afflictions caused and foisted on her by a destructive and disruptive elite class is not yet a lost cause.-- Adesina Ademola OgunlanaLawyer, Civil Rights Activist, ex-Chairman Nigeria Bar Association, NBA (Ikeja Branch)

Boko Haram and Its Suicide Squad: The Confession of a Jihadist - Adrian Davieson A remorseful jihadist confesses his jihadi crime and atrocities to an investigative journalist, Johnny Cameron, on a dangerous assignment in Borno State, northeast of Nigeria, to cover the kidnapping of five westerners, by Boko Haram. Cameron's assignment took him to Boko Haram's stronghold, where the journalist found himself in an uncharted territory of satanic terrorism. After months of constantly dodging bullets and suicide bombers, Cameron realized that Boko Haram was more determined, and deadly than the Nigerian military. Cameron knew that he must be brave and smart if he wanted to survive a war that seemed bigger than the war in Syria. The acts of murder, mayhem and carnage, form the nucleus of this book of terrorism, which is essentially a work of fiction.

Wahala Poems By Kunle Shittu
Words, sensitive and exquistely well-chosen, are the hallmarks of Kunle Shittu & rsquo;s poetry.

Ibrahim Babangida - The Military, Politics & Power in Nigeria
To borrow a hackneyed phrase, Nigeria has had a chequered political history before and since independence from British colonial rule on October 1, 1960. Two sets of actors - the civilian politicians and the military politicians - have been on the national political stage since January 15, 1966. General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida was one of them. In his eight years in power as president, or perhaps more correctly as military president, he affected the course of Nigeria's events, for better or for worse, in a way that few, if any, before him did. It is not possible to tell Nigeria's story without Babangida's part in it. The book is the story of IBB, the little orphan from Minna, Niger State and his meticulous rise to the top of his profession and the leadership of his country. Perhaps, more importantly, it is the story of Nigeria, its post-independence politics and power, told from the perspective of the actions and decisions of one of the main actors on the country's political stage. The events that shaped the Babangida era did not begin on August 27, 1985, the day he staged a palace coup against General Muhammadu Buhari. They began long before that. This book is the definitive story of the military, politics and power in Nigeria. Dan Agbese holds degrees in mass communications and journalism from the University of Lagos and Columbia University, New York, respectively. He is a former editor of The Nigeria Standard, the New Nigerian as well as former general manager of Radio Benue. Agbese was one of the founders of the trail-blazing weekly newsmagazine in Nigeria, Newswatch. He was until April 2010 the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including Nigeria their Nigeria, Fellow Nigerians, The Reporter's Companion, Style: A Guide to Good Writing and The Columnist's Companion: The Art and Craft of Column Writing.

We Should All Be Feminists - Nlp Edition With Vlisco Ankara Design
What does & ldquo;feminism & rdquo; mean today? That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal eloquently-argued essay & ndash; adapted from her much-viewed Tedx talk of the same name & ndash; by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. With humour and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century & ndash; one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviours that marginalise women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences & ndash; in the U.S., in her native Nigeria & ndash; offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. Argued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a best-selling novelist, here is one remarkable author & rsquo;s exploration of what it means to be a woman today & ndash; and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's luminous and formidable talent was first seen in Purple Hibiscus, her 2004 novel about a childhood devastated by a religious patriarch, which won a Commonwealth writers' prize and was shortlisted for the Orange prize. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, takes its title from the emblem for Biafra, the breakaway state in eastern Nigeria that survived for only three years, and whose name became a global byword for war by starvation. Adichie's powerful focus on war's impact on civilian life, and the trauma beyond the trenches, earns this novel a place alongside such works as Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy and Helen Dunmore's depiction of the Leningrad blockade, The Siege.

Ibrahim Babangida - The Military, Politics & Power in Nigeria
To borrow a hackneyed phrase, Nigeria has had a chequered political history before and since independence from British colonial rule on October 1, 1960. Two sets of actors - the civilian politicians and the military politicians - have been on the national political stage since January 15, 1966. General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida was one of them. In his eight years in power as president, or perhaps more correctly as military president, he affected the course of Nigeria's events, for better or for worse, in a way that few, if any, before him did. It is not possible to tell Nigeria's story without Babangida's part in it. The book is the story of IBB, the little orphan from Minna, Niger State and his meticulous rise to the top of his profession and the leadership of his country. Perhaps, more importantly, it is the story of Nigeria, its post-independence politics and power, told from the perspective of the actions and decisions of one of the main actors on the country's political stage. The events that shaped the Babangida era did not begin on August 27, 1985, the day he staged a palace coup against General Muhammadu Buhari. They began long before that. This book is the definitive story of the military, politics and power in Nigeria. Dan Agbese holds degrees in mass communications and journalism from the University of Lagos and Columbia University, New York, respectively. He is a former editor of The Nigeria Standard, the New Nigerian as well as former general manager of Radio Benue. Agbese was one of the founders of the trail-blazing weekly newsmagazine in Nigeria, Newswatch. He was until April 2010 the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including Nigeria their Nigeria, Fellow Nigerians, The Reporter's Companion, Style: A Guide to Good Writing and The Columnist's Companion: The Art and Craft of Column Writing. Agbese is also a highly-regarded newspaper columnist.
Saints And Scoundrels - Poem
Saints and Scoundrels is a collection of poetry by Ekaete George. The collection explores the main themes of environmental justice and gender justice. "No inhibitions, no platitudes, no striving for political correctness, no allegiance to a school of poetry, no pandering to the whims of particular goddess of poesy. She simply pours out herself, her soul, un-artificed, un-manicured. The raw taste of beauty." - Anaele Ihuoma, Author & Literary Critic "Saints and Scoundrels is structured in two parts: Homeland and Girl Rising. The Homeland poems begin with deifications of places worthy of reverence to the poet speaker before the verses implode to pillory their desecrations. In the Girl Rising poems, there are indicators of hope from the pangs of hurt. Poetry, thus, becomes a medium through which the wounded can overcome angst and ennui, and chart a course for the rediscovery of self and the realization of personal aspirations. It comes with an overwhelming sense of triumph conveyed through amorets." Henry Akubuiro - Literary Critic/Editor, Sun Newspaper

The Meaning Of Life: A Collection Of Poems
THE MEANING OF LIFE By Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Over the ages, determining the true meaning of life has preoccupied the attention of so many people. Many things happen in life that we yet do not fully understand. Some people go to sleep and dream while sleeping. When they wake up, they remember exactly what they had dreamt. A short time later, which may be hours or days, those dreams come true. Events occur exactly as they had dreamt of them. Some others even while they are awake, see visions that may appear before them in flashes as in watching a movie. These scenes may appear within so short a time, say, seconds or perhaps minutes. Shortly after, such events as seen in those visions occur in real life. Many people wonder why for some people things of this nature happen on a regular basis. How and from what source do these people get advance information of events which are yet to occur? Why are some people not all so favoured? When misfortune comes to people, some emerge from it stronger and better human beings. But for others, the heavy weight of misfortune crushes them, never to rise again. For them, they grow weaker with time, until they completely fade away. In life & rsquo;s journey, there are many thigns beyond our control. Natural events, with far-reaching consequences, may impose smile on our faces or bring tears to our eyes. Some people have an unfair share of living almost perpetually in pain and sorrow. Why should this be so? As I travel in the journey of life, I have had some experiences that throw light on the meaning of life. I feel that is I should share these experiences with others, both near and far, as a contribution in the search for the true meaning of life. I chose to condense these experiences in poems. I have tried using few words to examine many aspects of human nature. I am convinced that if we can truly understand the meaning of life, the world will be a better place. Many people may reconsider doing some of the things that they do to get temporary satisfaction but end up hurting others and even hurting our cherished environment. The search for the true meaning of life should continue. When we succeed, it will be very helpful in building a new world where love of self and of neighbor will thrive and people will live in peace and be happy.
A Witness Bird By Timi Rowland Kpakiama
& ldquo;Timi Kpakiama's pen has produced a remarkable collection of poems which crystallises varied moments of experience, ranging from nostalgia and exuberance to pain and distress. As a historian coming to poetry and creative expression, Kpakiama is often concerned with 'origins' with a 'harking back', and with connections in his poetry. His inspiration ranges the landscape of memory from which individual flashes are captured in words. He is a true nationalist who carries in him legacies of the cultures of Benue, Bauchi, Plateau and Rivers States of Nigeria. His poetry draws on complex myths and folklore at the same time, it turns simple experiences like 'Going for firewood' and & lsquo;Mango plucking' into sensuous poetic journeys. & rdquo; & mdash; Professor Kanchana Ugbabe Department of English, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria Author & rsquo;s Bio: Timi Rowland Kpakiama was born in Benue State, Nigeria. He holds a Bachelor's degree in History and International Studies from the University of Jos, and a Masters degree in History from the University of Ibadan. At present, Kpakiama is a doctoral candidate in the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan.

His publications include Salute to Our Mangrove Giants and Other Poems (Kraft Books, 2008), Song of Benasoro (Parresia Publishers, 2013) and Song of Soldier & Song of Prisoner (Winepress Publishing, 2018).
Pride And Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Page 2 of a letter from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra (11 June 1799) in which she first mentions Pride and Prejudice, using its working title First Impressions. Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. Though Austen set the story at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.

Fagunwa Yoruba Novels
In 1938, entering a literary contest of the Nigerian education ministry, Fagunwa wrote his & Ograve;gb & oacute;j & uacute; ?d? n & iacute;n & uacute; Igb & oacute; Ir & uacute;nmal, widely considered the first novel written in the Yoruba language and one of the first to be written in any African language. Wole Soyinka translated the book into English in 1968 as The Forest of A Thousand Daemons, first published by Random House and again by City Lights in September 2013 (ISBN 9780872866300). Fagunwa's later works include Igbo Olodumare (The Forest of God, 1949), Ireke Onibudo (1949), Irinkerindo ninu Igbo Elegbeje (Expedition to the Mount of Thought, 1954), and Adiitu Olodumare (1961). Fagunwa's novels draw heavily on folktale traditions and idioms, including many supernatural elements. His heroes are usually Yoruba hunters, who interact with kings, sages, and even gods in their quests. Thematically, his novels also explore the divide between the Christian beliefs of Africa's colonizers and the continent's traditional religions. Fagunwa remains the most widely read Yor & ugrave;b & aacute;-language author, and a major influence on such contemporary writers as Amos Tutuola.[2][3] D. O. Fagunwa was the first Nigerian writer to employ folk philosophy in telling his stories. Fagunwa was awarded the Margaret Wrong Prize in 1955 and was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1959. He died in a river in 1963; the ground by the bank of the river apparently gave way under his feet and he fell into the river. He tried to swim out of the water but sank because the canoe by the river also fell and collapsed on him.

Perspectives On Nigeria's National And External Relations
This collection of essays reflects different perspectives from which leading Nigerian scholars have interrogated key aspects of Nigeria's national politics and external relations in the last few decades. The contributors also offer projections into possible alternative future scenarios for Nigeria not only as a nation state but also as an important member of the international community and a major actor on the international stage. Some of the issues include the impact of the global democratisation upsurge on Nigeria's foreign policy, the competition between career and political ambassadorial appointments, while the idea of a concert of medium powers, initiated by Bolaji Akinyemi in the 1980s, has been explicitly clarified as a visionary foreign policy engagement by Nigeria, especially now that several medium powers are coming together to impact world affairs. The prospects for strategic partnership between Nigeria and some powers such as the UK, the USA, China and Russia were evaluated in addition to the fortunes of the Technical Aid Corps as an instrument of Nigeria's foreign policy. The challenges of meeting the MDGs, the continued significance of the nation's commitment to global Peace Support Operations, the country's quest for a United Nations Security Council permanent seat, as well as the growing and emerging domestic security challenges and their defining character on the nation's politics and international relations were all reflected upon among several others. Put together in honour of Professor Bolaji Akinyemi in celebration of his 70th birthday, the papers are, in a way, an appreciation of his personal life, politics, scholarship, public and ministerial career in the service of his nation and humanity.

Nigeria Why And When Things Go Wrong:
The author presents the Nigerian situation in a very pragmatic fashion, identifying those little elements, which many do not consider seriously, and the roles which they play in the formation, conception, and development of society. Although the language is highly sophisticated and analytic, it provides the needed template for an academic culture that is desirable, and should be desired for the sustenance of a tradition of excellence which is fast disappearing in academic circles. It is a work well done. Olatunde Bayo Lawuyi trained at University of Illinois, Urbana - Champaign, USA, for a PhD in Anthropology and later became visiting Professor to the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Ibadan. He is at present Professor and Head of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan.
