NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: SELECTED ISSUES (2024) by Aboaba O. Omotesho
₦1,500.00Quick ViewAfter nearly 30 long and disastrous years of military rule in Nigeria from 1966 to 1999 (less only four wobbly years of civilian interregnum from 1979 to 1983), the culture of constitutionalism in the country has become brutally defaced, degraded and obscured. The return of constitutional government in May 1999 marked a new beginning for virtually everybody – the politicians, the legislators, the students, the academia and all. No wonder that all levels of government – Federal, State and Local – the nation has been experiencing a rattling bustle of intergovernmental disputation as to the limits of power and the dos and don’ts of governmental action… The essays are written primarily for university law students and students in other tertiary institutions studying constitutional law…The book thus serves an important need to make academic materials available to such students in these days of harrowing book scarcity in the country. But the essays will also reward reading by politicians and others, including lawyers, who may want or need to read up elements of constitutional law or to brighten their dimming knowledge of rudiments of the subject. – Professor Charles Ilegbune OON, SAN, University of Abuja, Nigeria

NIGERIAN GODS (2022) by Kome Otobo
₦4,000.00Quick ViewNigerian Gods is an enlightening and sobering review of the impact of the introduction of the three main Abrahamic religions on Nigeria’s traditional religions, culture and way of life, viewed through the prism of its eleven largest and two of the smallest ethnic groups.
Kome Otobo, gives here a factual and acute description and presentation of the main characteristics of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria – historical background and socio-political structures, demography, traditional religions, differing impacts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and major occupations and modes of existence – which should serve to propel all to a fuller assessment of the complexities of the directions which a Post-Covid-19 World is tending rapidly, ethnically and racially exploited differences jumping to the fore to question erstwhile dominant political ideologies and political arrangements based on them.

NOBODY CAN FIGHT US (2016) – by Joseph Obi
₦850.00Quick ViewREVIEWS
“In this debut collection of poems, Fire in Paradise, Uzoechi Nwagbara explores the human condition through the prism of the Niger Delta where oil exploitation has environmental, political, economic, cultural, and other implications. The poet sings the tale of a people who are marginalized and brutalized for their bounty of oil. At the same time he envisions hope in the people’s resistance. There is much experimentation in form and style as the passionate poet deploys irony, repetition, images of a wasteland, and other tropes to register his themes… Doubtless, this is an exciting and strong poetic outing and a welcome addition to contemporary African poetry.”
Tanure Ojaide, Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.“Nwagbara’s collection is a political allegory of a nation in turmoil of self-realisation, self-acclaim and survival from the mitigating calamities that assail it. Fire in Paradise is reminiscent of the proto Miltonian title of Paradise Lost and the efforts of the people to regain their paradise. The poems toward the end of the collection show the tortuous efforts of the people at Paradise Regained…Revolutionary tropes as blood, death, stagnation dot the poems and Nwagbara excels in his picturesque imagery depicting an environment under destruction and a people hideously traumatised…The fire in the Delta paradise has not been extinguished but the poet shows that the future of its attainment is bright and promising. Thus the poems end with hope.”
Helen Chukwuma, PhD, Professor of English, Dept. of English and Modern Foreign Languages, Jackson State University, Jackson. Mississippi. USA.“Uzoechi Nwagbara is a bold voice for the voiceless; a poet of Africa who uses his word-craft to expose the human injustices and capture the colourful passions of his country, Nigeria, and the luminous continent beyond.”

OF BUSHMEN AND WORK: MODELS, MODELLING AND ILLUSIONS (2018) by Dafe Otobo
₦2,500.00Quick ViewThis book contains a partially revised version of the 9th Inaugural Lecture Series 2018 of the University of Lagos, Nigeria, delivered by Dafe Otobo on 4 July 2018. According to him, “this is a small part in the on-going attempt at placing state policies, organisational, managerial and workers practices in Nigeria, if not Africa and elsewhere, into truer perspective.” Aside from updating trade unionism, industrial relations and related developments in Nigeria, it is easily a thought-provoking and thoroughgoing critique of dominant received theories on labour and employment relations.

PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES IN NIGERIA: Organisation and Function (2022) by Plangshak Musa Suchi
₦3,000.00Quick View“The thrust of the book is an analysis of the organisation and roles of private security organisations in Nigeria. Issues covered include growth and size of commercial security companies, reasons for their growth, motivation of the proprietors and clients, type of services provided and the extent of clients’ satisfaction, regulation, relationship with public law enforcement agencies, and challenges. These issues were discussed with results from an empirical survey of private security companies and their clients.
This book is one of very few academic studies of private security organisations in Nigeria, and perhaps the most theoretically grounded. The book, structured into nine chapters, should appeal to students of criminology, security studies, criminal justice and sociology; policymakers, law enforcement officials, proprietors and clients of private security company, legislators and the general public, and it is highly recommended to them.” Etannibi E.O. Alemika, PhD, Professor of Criminology and Sociology of Law, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria

SEDUCTIVE DETECTIVE: A Play (2020) by Abubakar Othman
₦1,200.00Quick ViewIn this play, Seductive Detective, the author presents snapshot of the socio-political maneuvering in a Nigerian university, especially the interplay of forces inside and outside the campus in their attempts to influence outcomes, from appointments, promotions, potentially negative reactions to state policies, academic matters, students’ politics to subterranean intelligence operations by agents. Not many appear to be what they seem.

SERIYA: A Play (2019) by Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah
₦850.00Quick ViewThe main strength of this well written play is its dialectical blend of religious and political education, with an unmistakable revolutionary intent. Woven intricate but unobtrusive dialogue, with palpable images of light and darkness, fusing theocracy with politics in a palpable, simple and lucid lyrical tone, Na’Allah has given us a new play which proposes a new path to social liberation in which manipulative partisan politics is unequivocally unmasked. The wedlock proposal which comes at the end between the radical Mariama and the cleric Aafa is instructive of a future in which love and moral rectitude, shorn of external material trappings, becomes the defining features of social, just polity of our dream.
