The Ultimate Prize
President Idrissa Bandada didn't think much when he cancelled an acclaimed freest and fairest election ever held in black Africa. But the events to follow would soon force the now retired general into a rethink. A supposed respectable businessman gets killed in a five-star hotel in the eastern city of Enugu. In a politically volatile country, such deaths are no news. But when such gruesome ends start repeating in quick succession, one name, The Dean; the unseen assassin claiming the murders; sends panic throughout the entire nation. The new President, Sabo Achaba, isn't going to fold hands in Aso Rock. He sends the security service, the SSS and soon his special elite guards, the B-Gang to ge...
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.

Recent Advances in Grain Crops Research
Cultivation of grain crops has been rightly recognized as one of the main drivers in shaping human civilizations. Considering their key role in fulfilling a major portion of the global food needs, grain crops are the most widely grown crops around the world. Unfortunately, like many other agronomic crops, grain crops are quite vulnerable to climate change and this has posed multifaceted threats to agricultural sustainability. To add to the menace, the deteriorating quantity and quality of both land and water as primary factors of production are further aggravating the scenario. Confronting such challenges demands innovative adaptation strategies through intensification of grain crop production that can ensure grain self-sufficiency worldwide.
Are You God Or His Mailman
Time spirals away. It is captured in the play of light and dark, in the back and forth movements of the Niger and its tributaries. It's an intricate intertwining of fates, S.A Stone Jr. is born to a man and woman who had nothing in common other than that they were both on the run. He is one of America's wealthiest men, she a ravishing beauty from a long line of African matriarchs. Here the salvation of a country riddled with greed, corruption and wars is in question. Mr. Sylvester Stone was on the FBI's most wanted list, the KGB wanted him. The Chinese did not care much about him, though he was not their friend. The Middle East still had what he always wanted. Ngozika and her children by a m...
Rich Country, Poor Country
In this series of essays that span over 20 years of research, Benjamin Bobo builds the case for multinational corporations to take an active role in combating poverty around the world. Citing sobering statistics (for example, three-fourths of the world's nations are classified as Third World and four-fifths of the world's people live in these nations), Bobo argues that huge corporate entities not only have the wherewithal but an obligation to alleviate the suffering that results from a lack of economic resources and opportunity. Through these provocative and forward-looking essays, he presents a theoretical and practical framework for multinationals to stimulate economic development in the T...
