SPIRITUALITY AND TERTIARY EDUCATION IN WEST AFRICA (2022) by Sr. Mary Eriken
₦2,000.00Quick View“Spirituality and Tertiary Education in West Africa highlights the question of choice and great need in human life in a very resourceful manner…Sr. Dr. Mary attempts an eclectic approach to debate on the subject matter in the fallen and falling standard of education – more touchingly in Sierra Leone, which forms the yardstick to African countries, especially English-speaking countries in West Africa. The efforts of governments, religious organizations and non-governmental organizations are seemly not enough to raise the status quo of our young people who are wallowing in the dark side of spirituality and education… This great work of art can be appropriate for our university administrations, teachers, parents and students to help them rethink ways to redress the issues of inadequate educational systems in West African institutions.” Sr. Elizabeth Ngozi Okpalaeme, Students’ Coordinator and Quality Assurance Psycho-spiritual Institute, Marist International University College, The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Karen, Kenya

STRENGTH OF LIVING (2019)- by Bright Avwoghoke Okoro
₦2,000.00Quick ViewStrength of Living centres on Robert and his wife Agnes who are devoted Christians. They also inculcate the Christian values in their children. Robert worked with a foreign and expatriate-dominated construction company as a site engineer, and was well known for his discipline and diligence which earned him the highest award in the company.
In his church, Robert is the head of Hospital and Prison Ministry and his ministry had been making great impact in these two areas. Against run of the mill, he loses his job due to some racial intrigues at the management level. This brings untold hardship to the family. Agnes tries to sustain the family. When Robert sees that he is unable to play his traditional role of the breadwinner of his family, he becomes withdrawn, depressed and frustrated. His church too does not help matters much as church members and its management seem to have abandoned him. His reactions have grave consequences for his family and community relations.

THE BEAUTY I HAVE SEEN – A Trilogy (2010) -Tanure Ojaide
₦1,000.00Quick ViewA Trilogy
by Tanure Ojaide
The Beauty I Have Seen. A Trilogy comprises three phases in a poetic journey, ranging from the poet (here called a minstrel) as a public figure, a traveler and observer of humanity, to one grounded in the landscape and fate of his native land. In the various sections of “The Beauty I have Seen”, “Doors of the Forest” and “Flow and other Poems”, Tanure Ojaide expresses multifarious experiences, private and public, that capture the poet’s sensitive life in sensuous images. In these poems that flow like a narrative, form and content fuse into a mature poetic voice at once passionate and restrained, relaxed and poignant.

THE HEART OF JACOB – by Kyuka Lilymjok
₦850.00Quick ViewJacob prospers as a moneylender and pig merchant by taking advantage of other people’s misfortunes. But when he seeks to exploit the famine afflicting his village Tounga by lending money at high interest rates to poor villagers, he does not reckon what a sacrilege his pigs would commit which give the people an opportunity to feast on his own misfortune. When this happens community gives way to individual desires, and the stomach dictates to the head what it should think and believe in. Reason bends to absurdity and custom bows to bizarre novelty. Life explodes into a sinister mess that points to only one outcome: Jacob and society’s ultimate ruin.

THE MAN WITH THE WHITE HAT AND OTHER STORIES (2017) by Uvie Ann-Marie Giwewhegbe
₦850.00Quick View“The Man with the White Hat……I saw him daily. Every time. I see him on my way to school or late in the evenings when I am helping my mother sell groceries. The man with the white hat and the firm walking stick…the hat is never off, neither is it tainted nor stained, always pure white. He is a man in his early sixties, trailing the street through and fro, morning till evening. He is either speaking to himself or pointing his firm stick at one real or imaginary situation or another. I wondered if he even had a family. I thought him the ‘’classy mad’’. But, he always wore clean clothes and his hat was ever white. But my perception, misperception, changed on this very day I am about to reveal…”
This collection of short stories explores human foible, feelings, and deeper feelings of love, loyalty, betrayal and states of mind of those at the receiving end of social interactions and relationships – work roles, friendships, amorous or not, marriage – and cultural dictates or preferences. Insightfully done and a good read.
