Book Description
The failures of old generations to teach most young ones Nigerian family, traditional, religious and national values are mostly responsible for lawlessness and immoralities in the society. These prove the fact in the adage that says, “a man who builds a house without building his children only builds what the children will later sell”. For so long, Nigerians had been paying too much attention on politics, economy and other things at the expense of the Value System which is partly designed with the use of the National Anthem and The Pledge to the nation. Because of the near extinctions of moral; family and other values with the belief in God Of All Creations, the abundant resources in Nigeria had become snares for the citizens who are supposed to use them for the good of present and future generations. This book which is designed for children and youths gives vivid picture of Nigerian Value System through explanations of the National Anthem and The Pledge. The author uses twenty-six stories, poems, class activities and other items to teach civic responsibilities and moral obligations.

Book Description
The Sealed Blessings is a literary piece that is divided into two parts, the main story and an Aside. The author captured certain life matters that relates with our relationship with the Supersensible. For him, there are great Men of God who are persecuted for nothing. No society thrives when the people deride the works that are divinely given to rid them of the bondage of the devil. Their rejection only brings damnation and unfavourable situations. Unfortunately, according to the author, there are many instances where we seek to mock ourselves and scorn our spirits with wicked deeds that are unimaginable. The main book ends with author being blessed by his Pastor to which he derives his literary prowess. An Aside of the book narrates several events that hamper the growth of his country, Nigeria. As a nationalist, the author is of the view that the problems of his country are caused by her people. For him, Nigeria is a blessed nation with a very good climate. She has plenty of human and natural resources that are rare to find anywhere in the world. He commends the Nigerian military for keeping his country and her sovereignty safe.

Book Description
A collection of essays by James Baldwin, Norman Mailer, and other beloved American writers on the primal contest in the boxing ring—and the crazy carnival world outside it From neighborhood gyms and smoke-filled arenas to star-studded casinos and exotic locales, American writers have chronicled unforgettable stories about determination and dissipation, about great champions and punch-drunk has-beens, about colorful entourages and outrageous promoters, and, inevitably along the way, about race, class, and violence in America. Like baseball, boxing has a vivid culture and language all its own, one that has proven irresistible to career journalists and literary writers alike. The Library of America presents a gritty and glittering anthology of a century of the very best writing and reportage about the fights. Here is Jack London on the immortal Jack Johnson; H. L. Mencken and Irvin S. Cobb on Jack Dempsey vs. Georges Carpentier, dubbed “The Fight of the Century”; Richard Wright on Joe Louis’s historic victory over Max Schmeling; A. J. Liebling’s brilliantly comic portrait of a manager who really identifies with his fighter; Jimmy Cannon on the inimitable Archie Moore; James Baldwin and Gay Talese on the haunted Floyd Patterson; George Plimpton on Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X; Norman Mailer on the “Rumble in the Jungle”; Mark Kram on the “Thrilla in Manila”; Pete Hamill on legendary trainer and manager Cus D’Amato; Mark Kriegel on Oscar de la Hoya; and David Remnick and Joyce Carol Oates on Mike Tyson.

Book Description
This book explores the legacy of colonial heritage on Nigerian political activities and journalistic practices. It asserts that journalism and multi-party politics were introduced into the country during British colonial rule, and, while they have become domesticated and indigenised, they still exhibit traces of their roots because they emerged in a different socio-cultural and political environment. Taking as its point of departure the view that, without the colonial intervention, the Nigerian state may not have come into being or survived in its present form, this book offers fresh insight into the impact of British colonial rule on contemporary journalistic practices and political activities more than 100 years after the ‘creation’ of Nigeria. It draws attention to the enduring effect of colonial inheritance on Nigeria and how the ‘creation’ process of the country produced unintended consequences that remain problematic. Using press coverage of the politics of transition-to-civil-rule programmes during periods of military dictatorship as a case study, the book identifies trends and patterns of influence from the past that have been interlaced into the present.

Book Description
Tough and witty, SportsWorld is a well-known commentator’s overview of the most significant form of mass culture in America—sports. It’s a sweaty Oz that has grown in a century from a crucible for character to a complex of capitalism, a place where young people can find both self-fulfillment and cruel exploitation, where families can huddle in a sanctuary of entertainment and be force fed values and where cities and countries can be pillaged by greedy team owners and their paid-for politicians. But this book is not just a screed, it’s a guided visit with such heroes of sports as Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Joe Namath, who the author knew well, and with some he met in passing, like Richard Nixon, who seemed never to have gotten over missing the cut in college varsity football, a major mark of manhood. We see how SportsWorld sensibilities help elect our politicians, judge our children, fight our wars, and oppress our minorities. And now featuring a new introduction by the author,SportsWorld is a book that will provide the foundation for understanding today’s world of sports and the time of Trump. In the America of 2017—where the SuperBowl is worth billions, athletes are penalized or forced out of sports for political and anti-racist activism, and Title IX is constantly questioned and undermined—Robert Lipsyte’s 1975 critique remains startlingly and intensely relevant.
