The Senator
Mum, let me have the money I told you about or father knows Larry confronts a fear-stricken, gaping mother. Not long after, he calls himself The Senator. His mother believes hes joking. So does his father. At just twelve and in JSS 1, he must only be joking. But Mike, his only friend from childhood knows better. Larrys for real. And so are his victims, opponents and the Senate building in Abuja. The terrain is tough but then is Larry. He has a mind-set and his method is two fold Blackmail, Murder. Thats the only means of getting to the top in Nigeria, he says. This is an apt summary of the nation called Nigeria. The Author, Tai Emeka Obasi was explicit in the way he brought home the reality of a country with so much paradox in a flowing, almost poetic and dramatic style. The Senator is bizarre, ruthless in expression but immensely interesting. The reader is also going to find the debt of research, humour, suspense, political intrigue all ingredients of a must read IRRESISTIBLE! -Henry Okoduwa.

Representing Africa in the Motherland and the Diaspora
This volume brings together fifteen scholars from Africa, Europe and the United States to explore how Africa is represented in and through the performing arts and cinema. Essays include discussions of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, American influences on Nollywood, Nigerian video films, the representation of women in cinema, African dance in the diaspora, children’s music, and media portrayals of savagery from pop cinema through news reports of Ferguson, Missouri. Using a variety of methodologies and approaches, the contributors consider how African societies and cultures have been represented to themselves, to the continent at large, and in the diaspora. The volume represents an extended dialogue between African scholars and artists about the challenges of representing themselves and their respective societies within and without Africa. Many of the contributors are scholar-practitioners, offering practical guides on how to approach these performance and media forms as artists. As such, this book will serve as both model and building block for the next generation of representors, students, and audiences.
To Live Or to Die
Extrait de la couverture : "The Nigerian constitution leaves little or no provision towards the emancipation of the female folk. Economically and socially, women find themselves endangered. Very insignificant number of them is able to kick against this as it affects their reproductive health and the health of their children. Culture demands that they be silent in the face of oppression. This book revisits the socio-cultural practices affecting this 'tormented gender' the women. It also draws attention to the effects of these on the family in particular and the nation as a whole. Adjuvant therapy where applicable is offered. The extracts, which are non-fiction, were based on the author's personal experience, with a few others as told by friends from the locality concerned."
