Arrow Of God

3,500.00 3,500.00

Ezeulu, the chief priest of Ulu, finds his authority is under threat. He has rivals in the tribe, in the white government, and even in his own family.

Surrounded by trouble, he adopts an increasingly cosmic view of events: surely, in the battle of deities, he is merely an arrow in the bow of his God? Armed with such ideas, Ezeulu is prepared to lead his people on, if necessary to destruction and annihilation. The power of the people, however, reasserts itself.

Celebrated – Nigerian Women In Development

5,000.00 5,000.00

The problems relating to the social worth of the woman, her ability to contribute to social development, the political, economic and social roles she is allowed to play, her pains and travails are issues that haunt all societies.

These problems usually arise from the way society sees the woman and the way the woman sees herself.

The profiles of the 29 women celebrated in this volume can easily be multiplied several times over, and this may very well be the first of several times over, and this may very well be first of several follow up volumes.

Change is Going To Come

3,500.00 3,500.00

CHANGE IS GOING TO COME is a compendium of engaging essays and ideas for developing countries to rethink their state and get out of economic morass. It is not a political book but a book of interrogation on questions such as: What does change really mean? It contains common-sensical but overlooked solutions to problems such as the proper use of resources, thinking right socially and politically, and being realistic in an unrealistic environment. Put together by one of the Nigeria’s finest rising economic analysts, it is a simple book written in a conversational manner that will help to get people thinking right – if they listen.

Crushed

3,500.00 3,500.00

CRUSH-ED is not another whining story about the African experience, even though the title may lead in that direction. The title is really an acronym for the strategies that Africa (the sub-Saharan region in Particular), must adopt if it is not to face extinction in the medium to long term. The book presents pungent and urgent, analysis of the precarious situation that region of Africa has found itself; a situation foisted not only by the historical facts of slave trade and colonialism (as most texts on the subject are wont to aver), but most importantly the failure of the African states themselves to properly interpret their cultures and how those clash with the ones they are try to adopt and adapt to.

 

Dear Ijeawele, Or A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions

1,500.00 1,500.00

From the best-selling author of Americanah, Half of a Yellow Sun and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today-written as a letter to a friend.

Here are fifteen invaluable suggestions-compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive- for how to empower a daughter to become strong, independent woman. From teaching a young girl to read widely and recognize the role of language in reinforcing unhealthy social norms; encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about appearance, identity, and sexuality; criticizing cultural norms surrounding marriage; and debunking the myths that women are somehow biologically designed to be in the kitchen, and that men can “allow” women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will start a new urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

Emerging Africa

5,500.00 5,500.00

In this thoughtful and elegantly written book, Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu explodes the myths and conventional wisdoms about Africa’s quest for economic growth in a globalised world with a paradigm-shift perspective on the continent’s future.

Masterfully deploying arguments grounded in philosophy, economics and strategy across a range of subjects; from capitalism to transformation agendas, finance to foreign investment, and from innovation and human capital to world trade, he demonstrates persuasively how Africa’s progress in the 21st century will require nothing short of the reinvention of the African mind.
