Book excerpt: This lush and suspenseful Good Morning America Book Club pick “will have you glued to every page” (HuffPost) as it follows a woman to Nigeria to uncover what happened to her missing estranged niece…no matter the cost. Previously published as The Nigerwife. Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a handsome husband, a palatial house in the heart of Lagos, and a glamorous group of friends. She left gloomy London and a troubled family past behind for sunny Lagos, becoming part of the Nigerwives—a community of foreign women married to Nigerian men. But when Nicole disappears without a trace after a boat trip, the cracks in her alleged perfect life start to show. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends, her auntie Claudine decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with only a cell phone and a plane ticket to Nigeria, she digs into her niece’s life and uncovers a hidden side filled with dark secrets, isolation, and even violence. But the more she discovers about Nicole, the more Claudine’s own buried history threatens to come to light. Offering a razor-sharp look at the bonds of family, the echoing consequences of secrets, and whether we can ever truly outrun our past, The Lagos Wife “is a gripping work of suspense, a psychological puzzle, a mystery, and a critique of marriage and high society” (Shelf Awareness).

Chika just moved back to Lagos from London and she is expected to be the next Nigerian "Oprah" and truth be told, she is hoping to find love! Beautiful, smart and spiritual, she is bound to attract the man of her dreams. Aristocrat wives will take you into the inner sanctum of the uber wealthy in Nigeria. What happens behind the tinted windows of their range rovers? What secrets do the maids see? Get this compelling book and read the stories of Karen, Lola and Chika who live, laugh and love in Lagos! What readers have said about Aristocrat Wives. Ekene Onu does it again with her brilliant storytelling! We get a glimpse of the inner workings of Lagos high society in this gripping tale of three Nigerian women, on three distinct journeys and their struggles with love, marriage, societal norms, faith and the traditions that both feed us and trap us. - Arese Ugwu, Author of the Smart Money woman Ekene has a way of describing people and you know them; places and you are right there; situations and you are tempted to get involved. In this novel she has done all of the above and then some. Let me tell you this right off the bat: Be prepared to be transported into the lives of the main characters of this novel. Karen. Lola. Chika. The women in this novel will stay with you for a long time. Different women, different histories, different nows. Yet in a way that can only be orchestrated by the Universe, their futures and destinies seem to intertwine even as each individual destiny remains separate. Fascinating writing; I thoroughly enjoyed getting a peek into the lives of the main characters that somehow felt like bits and pieces of mine at different times in my real or imaginary life. I am confident many who read will come away feeling this same connection. The best bit about Aristocrat Wives is that when all is said and done; after you smile, laugh out loud, gasp in shock, roll your eyes, hiss and then cry, you will have to agree that Ekene has written a beautiful story of Life, Relationships, Love, Friendship, Determination, Faith and best of all, Hope. And it is that feeling of hope that will linger in your heart as you read the final lines and shut the book. Buckle up. It's going to be a fun yet deeply enlightening and inspiring read. I promise you. Bola 'Salt' Essien-Nelson, Author of The Diary of a desperate Naija woman

Only sons of the soil can buy, farm and inherit ancestral land, assets and property including children. Women are prohibited from buying ancestral land, but can become tenant or migrant farmers. In this true story, one woman goes beyond the call of her benevolent spirit, chi to organize communal farming to boost economic sustenance for her impoverished society after adopting almost twenty-five children, including orphans. Her progress and efforts are stalled because she is an "ohu." During a political crises bordering on social stratification, her barn is burned, her children are expelled from school and the Oruku village is thrown into chaos as many people are maimed, killed, displaced and made homeless. The novel covers universal parallels of economic survival, filthy politics of greed, social stratification, male chauvinism, discrimination and prejudice. It is an unforgettable story of courage.

Book excerpt: Forms of plural marriage, or polygamy, are practiced within most of the world's cultures and religions. The amazing variation, versatility and adaptability of polygamy underscore that it is not just an exotic non-Western practice, but also exists in modern Western societies. Polygamy: A Cross-cultural Analysis provides an examination and analysis of historical and contemporary polygamy. It outlines polygamy's place in anthropological theory and its rich sociocultural diversity in countries ranging from the USA and UK to Malaysia, India, regions of Africa and Tibet. Polygamy also addresses often difficult and controversial issues facing modern polygamists, such as prejudice, HIV/AIDS and women's emancipation. Polygamy: A Cross-cultural Analysis offers an anthropological overview of the fascinating yet often misunderstood institution of polygamy.

Book excerpt: Adamma is happy now, or thinks she is as happy as she can ever be...until one night, when she dreams of a very beautiful woman, Mmirimma, her long-lost mother lost to history over twenty years ago. Adamma's strange dream centers around the events that led to the death of her father and the disappearance of her mother. Against all rationality, against all evidence to the contrary, Adamma rekindles the flames of hope, that her mother Mmirimma who had been missing for over twenty years, is still alive. From the glitzy playgrounds of Lagos, Adamma heads East, seeking answers to questions that had plagued her entire adult life...and there, back East, she hits a brick wall. She is warned to stop looking for Mmirimma, that a dark and terrifying destiny awaits her if she doesn't let her mother go. Against all odds, Adamma embarks on a journey back into her past, to find the threads of her long-lost family. But, along the way, she descends into shocking chaos, as if Fate itself is working against her. Death dogs her footsteps, trusted friends become enemies, her family seems to be falling apart, yet she ploughs on in her search for her mother. With each step she makes closer to the truth about her mother's disappearance, her family seems to fall apart the more, and she faces a trial that will send her to her death if she loses, and destroy her family if she wins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the rules, principles, and doctrines in Nigerian law for resolving cases involving cross-border issues. It is the first book-length treatise devoted to the full spectrum of private international law issues in Nigeria. As a result of increased international business transactions, trade, and investment with Nigeria, such cross-border issues are more prevalent than ever. The book provides an overview of the relevant body of Nigerian law, with comparative perspectives from other legal systems. Drawing on over five hundred Nigerian cases, relevant statutes, and academic commentaries, this book examines jurisdiction in interstate and international disputes, choice of law, the enforcement of foreign judgments and international arbitral awards, domestic remedies affecting foreign proceedings, and international judicial assistance in the service of legal processes and taking of evidence. Academics, researchers, and students, as well as judges, arbitrators, practitioners, and legislators alike will find Private International Law in Nigeria an instructive and practical guide.
