The ESSENTIAL Ekwensi : a literary celebration of Cyprian Ekensi's 65th birthday
No full textCyprian Ekwensi, one of the pioneer African novelists in modem African literature was sixty-five years old on September 26, 1986, In the last forty years, he has written short stories, books for children and for adolescents, and several major novels. Some of his works, especially his adult novels, have been as popular as they have been controversial. Ekwensi continues to write, contributing in no small measure to keeping Nigeria s name on the world literary map. Even in his sixty-fifth year of life, Ekwensi is still writing. If anything, he seems to have become even more prolific than ever. On February 11 1986, his novel, Jagua Nana's Daughter, a sequel to his most controversial novel Jagua Nana, was launched at the Sheraton Hotel, Lagos .A few months later, Heinemann Educational Books (Nig.) Limited released yet another novel by him, For a Roll of Parchment which begins a new series known as the Heinemann Frontline Series. He has only recently completed
another novel entitled Behind the Convent Walls and is working on a number of children's books.The Man, Cyprian Ekwensi; Ekwensi as Novelist; Cyprian Ekwensi: Nigeria's Master; Taming the Wraith: Securing and Controlling in The Drummer Boy; Multicultural Education in Cyprian Ekwensi's An African Night's Entertainment; Value Perception in People of the City; A Reader's Diary of Cyprian Ekwensi's War Novels; Carl Jung and Cyprian Ekwensi: The Archetypes in Jagua Nana; Morality in Cyprian Ekwensi's Urban-based Fiction; Feminist Tendency in Ekwensi's Jagua Nana's Daughter; Cyprian Ekwensi: His Comic Vision; Random Thoughts on Clocking Sixty-five

Born to Run: the story of Dele Giwa
Get PDFThis biography has been written with only one objective in mind: to present a clear and, as much as possible, full picture of Dele Giwa, whose assassination on 19 October 1986, rocked the entire nation. Dele Giwa was at once a complex and straightforward person, strong willed and sentimental; a leader who, at times, like most leaders, was only a child.
Actual work began on this project late in January 1987. It was completed about eight months later. While reporting and researching the book, the authors spoke to nearly all the central—and some peripheral—players in the drama that was Giwa’s life. We are confident that the information provided within this volume is factual, as much as the authors were able to determine. It is possible that some errors may be found, for which we accept full responsibility. Where we were not absolutely certain, we have refrained from jumping to conclusions.Family profile; Early days – Ife; School days; Getting ready; Taking off; Homecoming; Changing gear; Breaking out; At the top; Hanging tough; Eclips

A New horizon.
Get PDFAugust 27, 1985 marked another landmark in the chequered history ofNigeria as an independent nation. A new military administration with Major-General Ibrahim Babangida as President and Commander-in-Chief ofthe Armed Forces was born on that day after a successful putsch which was heralded with jubilation by an overwhelming majority of
Nigerians. The new administration knew very well that it has an uphill task but accepted the challenge ofrevamping and restructuring the economy that was so badly battered by unpatriotic Nigerian politicians of the second republic. From the inception of the Babangida Administration, it was clear to all and sundryfrom his pronouncements and early actions that the objectives of the administration were ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION, SOCIAL JUSTICE, SELF RELIANCE and an ardent belief in the fundamental rights ofthe individual. The general assessment is that the Administration has performed reasonably well in its one year in office. It is to the efforts ofthe administration towards its set goals in itsfirstyear in office.Fundamental Human Rights.
