An African Night Entertainment (I don't remember the author, but I loved it!)
The Virtuous Woman is by Zaynab Alkali (I did JSCE about three years ago, it was in our syllabus. )
Things fall apart had me hooked, too.
I liked Buchi Emecheta's The Joys of Motherhood. It ended in a stupid way, though.
I think Half of a yellow sun is one of the hottest books ever written.

OMG!!! I can remember that book. It was written by the mother of one of my former schoolmates in the 1980's (I think her name was Pamela Osifo - or something similar) and she was on the cover of the book if my memory serves me right. I have run through my memory but I still cannot remember what the book is about. I recall though that it was popular with my schoolmates for that period and I'd like to lay my hands on it again. |

Honestly, one writer i so much cherish is Ben Okri with the novel THE FAMISHED ROAD. But the most essential nay best of all Nigerian writers is ABUBAKAR GIMBA with books like TRAIL OF SACRIFICE, SUNSET FOR A MANDARIN, SACRED APPLE, INNOCENT VICTIMS, ETC. He was the president of Association of Nigerian Authors between 1997 to 2001. please try get his works. Moreover if you're a secularist that puts question mark on the metaphysical world, please try savouring the book ALPHA SONG by MAIK NWOSU, He's the big 'thing' in the Nigerian book market now, only that his works are complicated.

Things Fall Apart - that book is an eternal classic
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - another absolutely fabulous read

Indeed he isn't. The author is someone called Phillip Phil Ebose (or something similar. I apologise if the name is spelt wrong. It's been well over 20 years, but I am sure I won't be far off as I remember the book well). |
