Wole Soyinka’s scathing and unsparing observation of the idiosyncrasies and excesses of contemporary Nigeria society cultural alienation, the corruption of power and opportunistic self-serving preoccupations of our so called leaders
Elizabeth jane Howard is one of those novelists who shows through her work what the novel is for she helps us to do the necessary thing
This volume is based on essays presented at the international conference on D O Fagunwa held in Akure, Nigeria, in August 2013. It situates Fagunwas work in broad intellectual and disciplinary contexts, viewing literary creation as both a distillation of a variety of disciplines and an ongoing conversation with them.
Oluwadele, in my opinion, has succeeded in bringing together an assembly of his writings over the years. The book – Thoughts of a Village Boy, represents a compendium of different areas of human endeavor and expression of author’s views on different issues in our national life.
The book is very rich in events and ideas from which people of all ages can learn. He is a very knowledgeable and highly talented writer. He has succeeded in prompting whoever reads this book to think deeply on how our country can be better governed and the role elites should as a matter of priority assume from now on. His take on his perception of Tinubu’s Philosophy of Poverty Management is worth considering. I believe the message is for our politicians and those aspiring office holders.
This is my fifth book. It’s a collection of some of my best economic ideas over time. It is focused on Nigeria to a large extent and encompasses my thoughts for our country and people. This book is named REVOLUTION OF IDEAS because the ideas herein are indeed out-of-the-box and revolutionary. I believe that the ideas that will transit Nigeria people of color out of the current state of pity, lie in the mind. I have put my perspective together here. I assure that you’ll find it indeed interesting. Let’s get going
And after many days is a novel of childhood, of the delicate, complex balance of power and love between siblings; the unique ecosystem of a family.it is also a portrait of a society, as the old world gives way to new status quo. A novel of quiet, devastating force, and after many days holds at its Centre a profound story life, loss and becoming
