These Words Expose Us
A mother's warning to her young daughter not to leave home . . . A question that changes a relationship in ways no one could have predicted . . . A silence that speaks more than words ever could . . . TheNakedConvos brings you an emotional, thought-provoking, inspiring and altogether fascinating invitation to exploration, honesty, vulnerability, connection, celebration of relationships, and self-discovery. Have you ever read a story that left you feeling naked, vulnerable and exposed? These Words Expose Us is an anthology of stories from young, award-winning Nigerian writers, including Uche Okonkwo, Pemi Aguda, Gbolahan Adeola, Osemhen Akhibi and many, many more. From Lagos to Benin, Ibadan to New York, these are our stories - the stories we never tell, the stories we suspect our neighbors live, the stories our friends and lovers are afraid to tell us. But they are only stories made of words. Just words. Even if These Words Expose Us.
Newsprint Literature and Local Literary Creativity in West Africa, 1900s - 1960s
Groundbreaking examination of literary production in West African newspapers and local printing presses in the first half of the 20th century, which adds an African perspective to transatlantic Black studies, and shows how African newsprint creativity has shaped readers' ways of imagining subjectivity and society under colonialism. From their inception in the 1880s, African-owned newspapers in 'British West Africa' carried an abundance of creative writing by local authors, largely in English. Yet to date this rich and vast array of work has largely been ignored in critical discussion of African literature and cultural history. This book, for the first time, explores this under-studied archiv...

Blacks Greatest Homeland
In the last six years, Nigeria has broken the grip of dictatorship, poverty, and corruption to emerge as one of Africa's most peaceful nations. A role model for other developing countries, Nigeria now enjoys its position as a peace and power broker, defying the odds of its past. Home to the world's greatest concentration of black people and led by President Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria now enjoys economic prosperity and the fruits of democracy. But these successes were fraught with challenges. The denigration and stereotyping of black people created a constant barrier to change, one that was not easily overcome. Dr. Jubril Olabode Aka delivers a compelling portrayal of Nigeria, focusing on the country's emerging force for tolerance and hope. Aka discusses such topics as peaceful conflict resolution, Nigeria's foreign policy, the government's success in eliminating fraud and corruption, and the need to eradicate discrimination. Blacks Greatest Homeland examines Nigeria's history, leadership, and future, offering an honest and positive look at the sweeping changes Nigeria has made in the last decade.
