Book excerpt: “A stellar cast of award-winning Nigerian authors . . . a must-read for crime lovers looking for something different.”—Brittle Paper In Akashic Books’s acclaimed series of original noir anthologies, each book comprises all new stories set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Now, West Africa enters the Noir Series arena, meticulously edited by one of Nigeria’s best-known authors. In Lagos Noir, the stories are set in “a city of more than 21 million and an amazing amalgam of wealth, poverty, corruption, humor, bravery, and tragedy. Abani and a dozen other contributors tell stories that are both unique to Lagos and universal in their humanity . . . This entry stands as one of the strongest recent additions to Akashic’s popular noir series” (Publishers Weekly, starred review, pick of the week). The anthology includes stories by Chris Abani, Nnedi Okorafor, E.C. Osondu, Jude Dibia, Chika Unigwe, A. Igoni Barrett, Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Adebola Rayo, Onyinye Ihezukwu, Uche Okonkwo, Wale Lawal, ’Pemi Aguda, and Leye Adenle. “The beauty of this book, which contains 13 stories from Nigerian writers, is that it serves as a travelogue, too.”—Bloomberg, “The Darkest Summer Reading List for Those Bright, Beachy Days” “With writers like Igoni Barrett, Leye Adenle, and E.C. Osondu contributing, Lagos Noir offers wildly different perspectives on both the city itself and the state of noir fiction. This book is almost like a world in itself, one that you’ll want to dive back into and get lost in again and again.”—CrimeReads, “One of the 10 Best Crime Anthologies of 2018”

This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not quite four months after the Western Region's election of October 10, 1965, did the localized mayhem in that Region find its way furiously into the center of the nation on January 15, 1966! It was like a whirl-wind of nothing but anarchy and lawlessness. The serious aftermath of the marred and rigged election was that it acted as the last straw that broke the Carmel's back, providing immediate reason for the army to overthrow the government of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Anarchy ensued; a counter coup led to the death of Major-General Ironsi. Callous barbarous massacre of thousands of easterners in the North followed. With their lives in jeopardy, easterners fled for safety to eastern region; refugee crisis followed. To guarantee their safety, easterners seceded from Nigeria and on May 30th 1967, formed an independent and sovereign nation of the Republic of Biafra. Determined to bring Easterners back, on July 6, 1967 Nigeria invaded Biafra; waged a gruesome thirty-month-civil war against Biafra. Nigeria blockaded Biafra on land, sea and air, to prevent food from entering Biafra. A malnutrition disease, Kwashiorkor that caused the deaths of thousands of Biafrans, followed. Nigeria bombed Biafran civilians, killing thousands. On January 12, 1970 the war ended leaving more than three million people dead in a war that was totally avoidable!

Book excerpt: “Storylines and twists abound. But action is secondary to atmosphere: Onuzo excels at evoking a stratified city, where society weddings feature ‘ice sculptures as cold as the unmarried belles’ and thugs write tidy receipts for kickbacks extorted from homeless travelers.” —The New Yorker When army officer Chike Ameobi is ordered to kill innocent civilians, he knows it is time to desert his post. As he travels toward Lagos with Yemi, his junior officer, and into the heart of a political scandal involving Nigeria’s education minister, Chike becomes the leader of a new platoon, a band of runaways who share his desire for a different kind of life. Among them is Fineboy, a fighter with a rebel group, desperate to pursue his dream of becoming a radio DJ; Isoken, a 16–year–old girl whose father is thought to have been killed by rebels; and the beautiful Oma, escaping a wealthy, abusive husband. Full of humor and heart, Welcome to Lagos is a high–spirited novel about aspirations and escape, innocence and corruption. It offers a provocative portrait of contemporary Nigeria that marks the arrival in the United States of an extraordinary young writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLURB For the very first time, Ejiro is embarking on a journey to Lagos, a metropolitan city in present day Nigeria. Initially an uncomplicated journey, the hand of fate inclines him to make the acquaintance of Chimamanda, a young medical doctor. Egotism and conceit is soon swallowed up by an emotional pull felt viscerally in the bodies of both young adults. And so, within the stretch of a solitary journey, chemistry develops into deep romantic feelings until tragedy strikes. A tragedy orchestrated by the dreaded Fulani herdsmen which, instead of leading to blood, sorrow and tears nurtures Ejiro and Chimamanda’s newly found emotions into a solid ball of lasting intimacy. Set in modern day Nigeria, this carefully crafted plot is woven around the socio cultural aspects of the Nigerian state and the spate of insecurity ravaging the entire nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the world's eighth largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant official corruption and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to Nigeria's recent troubles through an exploration of its pre-colonial and colonial past, and its journey from independence to statehood. By examining key themes such as colonialism, religion, slavery, nationalism and the economy, the authors show how Nigeria's history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a lucid, easily readable, and objective legal exposition, Rev. Matthew Iwuji's Marriage Form in Nigeria becomes an important channel for the knowledge of the legal requirements for a valid contract of marriage in Nigeria, and it is a valuable contribution to the development and clarification of Nigerian family law. The author limits his investigations and exclusively furnishes facts on the formalities surrounding the marriage relationship in that country. Prof. Jose Castano Faculty of Law Pont. Lateran University, Rome. ***** Marriage Form in Nigeria, as a classic comparative legal study, provides very useful insight into the most fundamental issue of marriage in Nigeria in an age of intercultural marriages. It is a book for everyone: parents, young people, pastors who seek to establish freedom to marry, and law students and those interested in Nigerian family law.

Book excerpt: The development of Nigeria's oil industry is examined comprehensively in this book, originally published in 1984. It charts the changing course of her economy and examines the dramatic effect oil has had on Nigeria's domestic and international policies. Oil has enabled her to command a powerful position in African affairs and within OPEC itself, but at the same time, has held back other forms of economic development. Nigeria's future in the oil industry, as well as in related fields such as gas, is assessed both in the light of her former policies and in the changing world economy. This book will be of interest to all concerned in the oil industry, international finance or world power politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the single most populous nation in Africa, Nigeria recently overtook South Africa as the largest economy on the continent. Natural resources, oil and gas in particular, comprise the country’s single largest revenue-earner but the 170m person economy also has seen significant activity in recent years into the industrial, financial, telecoms and – as of 2013 – power sectors. Hydrocarbons reserves have traditionally attracted the vast majority of domestic and foreign investment in Nigeria. Oil production capacity has remained at roughly 2.5m barrels per day (bpd) since the start of 2000, although output fell to 2.2m bpd on average in 2012. Still, the country has long operated below its true potential and government efforts in recent years have sought to increase local value addition, by boosting refining capacity and minimising theft and bunkering. The country’s banking sector has been through a significant shake-up as well, resulting in a far healthier and more robust financial industry, while reforms in the telecoms and agricultural sectors have strengthened medium-term prospects.

Book excerpt: Soldiers and Oil (1978) examines Nigeria under military rule from 1966 to 1978, a period of political change as well as economic – the period also saw a twenty-fold increase in Nigerian oil revenues. The oil industry became by far the greatest single source of public revenue, and the distribution of oil wealth by the central federal government fundamentally changed the economics of the federated states, created by the military government , whose financial autonomy had been so jealously guarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past two decades, there has been a resurgence in the writing of African and African diaspora speculative and science fiction writing. Discussions around the 'rise' of science-fiction and fantasy have led to a push-back by writers and scholars who have suggested that this is not a new phenomenon in African literature. This collection focuses on the need to recalibrate ways of reading and categorising this grenre of African writing through critical examinations both of classics such as Kojo Laing's Woman of the Aeroplanes (1988) and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's oeuvre, as well as more recent fiction from writers including Nnedi Okorafor, Namwali Serpell and Masande Ntshanga."--Back cover.
