Things Fall Apart 

3,000.00 3,000.00

“…In the writing of the two essays in this book, I went to great lengths to press my readings of Achebe’s first novel, things Fall Apart, into service in an effort to see hopeful signs in otherwise quite bleak circumstances in Nigeria and Africa…in each of the respective readings of Achebe’s novel in these two essays, I was writing under very great pressure of one and of discursive context….I was also constrained by the pressure of etiquette, the celebration of the anniversary of Achebe’s novel being a festive occasion in which one could not afford to be seen as being too sanguine in expressing one’s bitterness about the state of things in Nigeria, Africa and the world.”

How, despite the ravages o colonialism, civil war, ongoing economic disappointment and most recently the Biko haram insurgency, has the country managed to stay together for a hundred years? Why, despite an abundance of oil, mineral and agricultural wealth, have so many of its people remained in poverty? These are the key questions explored by Richard Bourne in this remarkable and wide-ranging account of Nigeria’s history, from its creation in 1914 to the historic 2015 elections and beyond.

The Postcolonial Lamp

7,000.00 7,000.00

It contains a fine collection of essays from some of the brightest minds of the younger generation of critics in African literature. And as the reader will discover, it’s the work of rich variety, composed not only of the usual panegyrics and eulogizing anecdotes, but also important critical reflections on diverse literary themes and position, in a miscellany of voice-such that, as one proceeds through the pages, one is led along a trail of constantly shifting, constantly.

THE MUSE OF FORGIVENESS

The nation that is Sudan belongs to two families of the world community Arab and African. These are structure, with the global recognition, as the Arab league, and the African union. It is depressing to observe the studied indifference of one-the Arab family-to the criminality of one of its members, a nation historically placed as a cultural bridge between two races.

 

Omoluwabi

3,500.00 3,500.00

This is a very important book that needs a broad readership. First for pointing the way, showing us the possibilities of codifying our customary approaches, and most importantly, embracing what is now the ‘informal’. This is one of the first real attempts by an African in a long while to reclaim ourselves, to really think of an African modernity rooted in the land-won lessons and social processes in our past.

 

Nigeria’s Story Is My Story

3,500.00 3,500.00

This is my sixth book and one in which I’ve been a bit more revealing. It should make very interesting reading because it is not a boring rant about economic and financial issues, but interesting dialogues on matters of mostly Nigeria’s sociopsychology and aspects of history. I personally enjoy such discourses better than the drone on the stiff subject of money and how it is made.

I think this is a more important aspect of the development quest of African people because from a systems point of view we should interrogate our lifeviews, our paradigms and of perspectives. Once the sociopsychological aspects are dealt with, development and progress becomes fairly easy and sustainable. The writings here reflect my mindset and perspective which fuses into my understanding of the larger issues towards ensuring that my people attain a better existence in this present world where no nation waits for another.
