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.
He was not only the finest poet of his generation but I believe that as his work becomes better and more widely known in the world he will also be recognized as one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time.

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 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.
