Book Description
A coming-of-age tale told from the perspective of Nigeria’s Generation X, caught amid the throes of a nascent pro-democracy movement, demoralizing corruption, and campus violence. Ewaen is a Nigerian teenager, bored at home in Warri and eager to flee from his parents’ unhappy marriage and incessant quarreling. When Ewaen is admitted to the University of Benin, he makes new friends who, like him, are excited about their newfound independence. They hang out in parking lots, trading gibes in pidgin and English and discovering the pleasures that freedom affords them. But when university strikes begin and ruthlessly violent confraternities unleash mayhem on their campus, Ewaen and his new friends must learn to adapt—or risk becoming the confras' next unwilling recruits. In his trademark witty, colloquial style, critically acclaimed author Eghosa Imasuen presents everyday Nigerian life against the backdrop of the pro-democracy riots of the 1980s and 1990s, the lost hopes of June 12 (Nigeria’s Democracy Day), and the terror of the Abacha years. Fine Boys is a chronicle of time, not just in Nigeria, but also for its budding post-Biafran generation.

Book Description
Will Ferguson takes readers deep into the labyrinth of lies that is "419," the world’s most insidious Internet scam. A car tumbles through darkness down a snowy ravine. A woman without a name walks out of a dust storm in sub-Saharan Africa. And in the seething heat of Lagos City, a criminal cartel scours the Internet, looking for victims. Lives intersect. Worlds collide. And it all begins with a single email: "Dear Sir, I am the daughter of a Nigerian diplomat, and I need your help…" When Laura Curtis, a lonely editor in a cold northern city, discovers that her father has died because of one such swindle, she sets out to track down—and corner—her father’s killer. It is a dangerous game she’s playing, however, and the stakes are higher than she can ever imagine. Woven into Laura’s journey is a mysterious woman from the African Sahel with scars etched into her skin and a young man who finds himself caught up in a web of violence and deceit. And running through it, a dying father’s final words: "You, I love."

Book Description
Newton Jibunoh’s fourth book, “Hunger for Power” is the story of an amazingly intriguing life which begins by exploring an orphan boy’s escape from a life of deprivation to culminate at the pinnacle of corporate Nigeria. It is a business primer, detailing the fault lines that will confront the man or woman intent on making a mark on Nigeria’s business landscape. It is also the history of contemporary Nigeria from just before the civil war and right through successive military regimes to the dawn of democracy. Then it is, finally, the detailed account of environmental activism and the travels across the Sahara desert from London to Nigeria, and Nigeria to London, in the quest to stop the menace - desert encroachment and desertification. In telling his life story as a business man and building engineer, husband and father, adventurer and environmentalist, Newton Jibunoh takes us on an excursion through the alleyways of power becoming at once a full participant in Nigeria’s history through his work and friendships. This is a compelling human portrait of a larger-than-life personage.

Book Description
Eze Donald Akudike, now retired from a successful career in business, lives with his wife, Ugomma, in their hometown of Umuoha, Nigeria. Long ago, when the two of them were students in England, they lost their daughter, Adaku, to social services. Now, twenty-four years later, she is coming to Nigeria to stay with her birth parents. In England, Adaku has grown up enjoying an unfettered lifestyle, with every necessity except parental and community input. Then, in Nigeria, she experiences an environment with an absence of every comfort except what is made available by immediate family, where individual lifestyle conforms to the expectation of the community, where everybody is each other’s keeper, and life is lived on the dictates of culture and tradition. Adaku finds herself struggling to change her perception, attitude, and approach to life. As she learns to cope with this new life, she begins to discover who she really is, the price she must pay, and the future she hopes to build. In this novel, when a Nigerian couple reunites with their twenty-four-year-old daughter, who was raised in the UK, friction arises as the young woman acclimates to a culture she has never known.
