It was in this new dark era that our career began, we the second generation of literary dramatists. They enemy this time was no longer from the outside, but part of us. The problem was no longer that of correcting a distorted racist image, but rather, of rescuing our people from internal oppressors.
Generally regarded as the most lyrical of the poets of his generation for his simple down to earth visual and descriptive imagery which makes his poem among the most memorable, JP Clark is perhaps the most underrated of Nigeria’s literary giants.
Crowther opened numerous missions up the Niger and Benue rivers, from bonny to Lokoja to kippo hill, earning the trust and friendship of the local kings, he translated the bible fully into Yoruba and partially into Igbo and Igalla. Unfortunately, however, the last two years of his long and eventual life were to be marred by controversy and bitterness. Some priests sent down by the CMS from England on a visitation on the Niger Mission returned very negative and destructive reports. As a result, the Bishop already over 80 years old, suffered a stroke from which he never really recovered. He died in the closing hours of December 31,1891. This play is about those last, painful years

This engaging thought provoking lecture triggers crucial questions why is the state in Africa often a colossal millstone rather than a cornerstone of development. Why have African states post-independence retained inherited colonial structure, why are people in many parts of Africa poorer today than at independence, and standard of living and security have depreciated.
THE RACE FOR CAPITAL (And Other out-of-the-box Economic Arguments), is my third book and an aggregation of some my most important economic and financial thoughts in recent times, as distilled from my weekly column and elsewhere. The book’s title derives from the biggest economic argument of the day – the problem of inequality – which has finally been noticed by important economists around the world but to which no solution has yet been found. In this book, that argument is further advanced and an African perspective is added, because when ever important economic arguments such as this goes on, that most-vulnerable continent does not feature in the analysis. But the perspective of this book is not all about complaining about the state of Africa and its position development-wise, but also on solutions. Some germane solutions are hereby offered for African economies especially but every other economy around the world which seeks to reposition its people and make a dent in these hard-to-solve quagmires facing the world today. There are no simple solutions apparently.
This book is a clarion call, an urgent alarm. It purviews beyond the problem of global unemployment, but speaks to economic and social decisions being made by individuals, households, companies and governments. The author seeks to find an intricate balance in between all of these. At least, if a balance was not achievable, he seeks to add his voice as one of those who pulled back the world from extremism. This time, the focus is on economic extremism.

These wide ranging stories take us from Sophia town in the drum era to the rural Eastern cape to the luxury jozi homes of present day tenderpreneurs. By turns poignant, raunchy, philosophical and funny, they cast a wry and astute eye on universal human questions and conundrums presented by our particular historical moment.
