Literature class was one of our favorites
back then in primary school,
It wasn’t like the complex literature we
started in secondary school where you
had to discuss themes from a dialogue or
write lengthy notes based on a
conversation or a story. It was basic and
we loved it. While the list of literature
books varied from schools to schools,
there were some that kept making
appearances,
Maybe because they were so good and all!
Here is a list of the top ten favorites..

1. Sugar Girl by Kola Onadipe
Sugar Girl was the story of Ralia and her
adventures when she went missing.

2. Chike and The River by Chinua Achebe
Chinua Achebe wrote about the boy who
wanted to cross the River Niger. I
remember Samuel Maduka Obi (S.M.O) and
his S.M.O.G name which meant “Save Me
Oh God”

3. Without A Silver Spoon by Eddie Iroh
Without A Silver Spoon is the story of Ure
Chokwe who comes from a poor family
and the challenges he had to go through.

4. Eze Goes to School by Onuora Nzekwu
and Michael Crowder
Eze is determined to go to school but he
has to deal with the problems he has.

5. Koku Baboni by Kola Onadipe
Koku Baboni calls into question a village’s
practice of leaving one of a set of twins to
die. It introduces young readers to
complex questions about human rights.

6. The Drummer Boy by Cyprian Ekwensi
The story of Akin, a blind drummer who
inspires everyone with his talents,
celebrates the uniqueness of the
individual and how self-fulfillment can
help us touch the lives of others.

7. Bottled Leopard by Chukwuemeka Ike
The book tells of Amobi, a first-year
secondary school student, who is troubled
by dreams of a leopard.

8. Tales Out of School by Nkem Nwankwo
Another great story about a young
person’s first year at secondary school.
The protagonist Bayo experiences a class
rebellion and a challenge to the school
football team during his first term at
school.

9. The Village School by Anezi Okoro
Anezi Okoro is a children’s stories expert
with a long resume; this classic tale of a
village school in southeastern Nigeria –
first published in 1966 – has stood the
test of time.

10. The First Corn by Mabel Segun
Mabel Segun is one of Nigeria’s best-loved
children’s novelists. This story of how a
man first discovered corn fully engages
younger readers.
