Legacy by Morris Wambua
“Legacy” is a lyrical, unflinching exploration of a world at war with itself, where masculinity is silenced, femininity is weaponised, and truth hides between these extremes. Through the life of Michael Adisa, a thoughtful educator and reluctant hero, the story interlaces the themes of justice, gender, love, and redemption. It is a narrative confronting societal wounds with tenderness and fire, leaving the reader stirred, reflective, and changed.

The Thing Around Your Neck book by Ch...
From the Orange Prize-winning author of 'Half of a Yellow Sun' come twelve dazzling stories that turn a penetrating eye on the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the West.
In 'A Private Experience', a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she's been pushing away.

The young mother at the centre of 'Imitation' finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their home.

Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's prodigious storytelling powers.
The Selectorate: When Judges Topple T...
Across Africa, the shift from authoritarian rule to elective civilian government has brought new challenges. Among them is the judiciary's evolving role in political outcomes. Judges, once constrained arbiters of electoral disputes, have become increasingly unconstrained in determining who holds power--shifting legitimacy from voters to the courts. In some cases, this influence has extended beyond the courtroom, creating a system where a small, connected elite decides leadership under the cover of legal process.In The Selectorate, Chidi Odinkalu examines how this shift took root, with Nigeria's judiciary playing a leading role in setting the precedent. Drawing on legal insight and first-hand experience, he unpacks the consequences of this quiet transformation and what it means for both judicial independence and the future of democracy in Africa.

The Challengers by Eghosa Imasuen
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, a group of young Nigerian entrepreneurs came together to form The VFD Group, a company that is poised to become a major player in Nigeria’s financial sector. The founders of this company, Nonso Okpala, Adeniyi Adenubi, Mobolaji Adewumi, Gbenga Omolokun, Azubike Emodi and others, recognised the need for a new kind of financial institution in Nigeria, one that was nimble, innovative, and responsive to the needs of a rapidly changing market. But that was not their only innovation: they decided to build this firm together.
The Challengers is about the personal stories of these founders. What makes their story different from that of the businesspeople of just a generation prior? How did this company not only survive having so many “owners” but thrive because of it? This, in an environment as individualistic as the Nigerian business space, was a previously-unheard-of occurrence. Eghosa Imasuen, author of Fine Boys, presents this tour de force of narrative nonfiction in a style uniquely his own.

THE NEW LEARNER: RAISING,TEACHING AND...
The New Learner seeks to answer: "Why are today's learners different and how can parents, teachers and school leaders effectively guide them toward responsible adulthood while maintaining discipline, academic excellence and Christian values?"
While education has always evolved in response to societal change, few generations have challenged the traditional assumptions about learning, behaviour, discipline and identity as profoundly as Generation Z and Generation Alpha.
Across homes, classrooms and communities, parents and educators are increasingly confronted with young people who think differently, learn differently, communicate differently and engage with the world through experiences unlike those of any previous generation.
Conventional approaches that once produced responsible, resilient and academically successful learners are no longer sufficient on their own. This reality demands not merely new strategies, but a renewed understanding of the learner.
‘The New Learner’ arrives at an important moment in educational history. It challenges us to move beyond simplistic narratives that portray today's children as either "difficult" or "entitled." Instead, it invites us to appreciate them as products of a rapidly changing world shaped by digital technology, global interconnectedness, unprecedented access to information, shifting family dynamics, and emerging social realities.
These learners possess remarkable strengths, creativity, innovation, adaptability and confidence yet, they also face unique vulnerabilities, including heightened anxiety, shortened attention spans, identity struggles and increasing dependence on technology. Understanding these complexities is the first step toward guiding them effectively.
While learners have changed, the ultimate goals of bringing up Gen Alphas and Gen Zs have not. Society still expects schools and families to nurture individuals of character, competence, integrity, responsibility and purpose.
The challenge, therefore, is not whether discipline, excellence and moral values remain relevant—they unquestionably do—but how they should be cultivated in a generation that responds differently to authority, motivation, communication and relationships.
Throughout the book, readers will encounter thoughtful analyses supported by practical insights that can readily be applied in schools, homes and leadership contexts. Whether discussing learner behaviour, motivation, parenting, technology, curriculum implementation or leadership, the author consistently reminds us that effective education begins with understanding before intervention.
The book is equally significant because it recognizes that the responsibility for shaping young people extends beyond the classroom. Parents, teachers, school leaders, faith communities and policymakers all share the collective responsibility of preparing children not only for examinations, but for life and eternity.
In an era where academic achievement alone is no longer a sufficient measure of success, character education, emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, resilience, creativity and life-long learning have become indispensable competencies. This publication thoughtfully weaves these dimensions together, demonstrating that educational excellence and character formation are complementary rather than competing priorities.
Readers will also appreciate the author's conviction that innovation in education should never come at the expense of timeless principles. As schools adopt new pedagogies, embrace emerging technologies and respond to evolving learner needs, they must continue to uphold values that nurture responsible citizenship, respect, accountability, compassion and service.
The New Learner presents a refreshing balance between educational innovation and enduring moral foundations—a perspective that is particularly valuable for educators working within faith and non-faith-based institutions while remaining relevant across diverse educational settings.
Perhaps the greatest contribution of The New Learner lies in its call for empathy. Before attempting to correct behaviour, improve performance, or reform systems, we must first understand the world through the learner's eyes. Effective parenting and teaching have always depended upon knowing the child-learner, but never has this principle been more important than it is today.
Promises: A Novel by Goretti Kyomuhendo
Promises charts the joys and tribulations of Ajuna and her fiancé, Kagaba, from warm Kampala to gloomy London. Young, highly skilled, and ambitious, both are caught up in financial hardship in their native Uganda. When Kagaba leaves for the UK as an economic immigrant, Ajuna’s happy, fulfilling relationship is under threat. And in the indifferent UK, Kagaba must battle the cold, and the cold shoulder of London.
Promises exposes the shadow world of illegal immigrants, and the creativity with which people in the legal margins rise to meet an inhumane system. But for both Kagaba and Ajuna, a glimmer of hope comes from unexpected quarters. Populated with an expansive array of vibrant characters, Goretti Kyomuhendo’s novel examines the promises we keep and those we break when relationships are profoundly tested by circumstances and twists of fate.
Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Ad...
Notes on Grief is an exquisite work of meditation, remembrance, and hope, written in the wake of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's beloved father’s death in the summer of 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged around the world, and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another, her father succumbed unexpectedly to complications of kidney failure.
Expanding on her original New Yorker piece, Adichie shares how this loss shook her to her core. She writes about being one of the millions of people grieving this year; about the familial and cultural dimensions of grief and also about the loneliness and anger that are unavoidable in it. With signature precision of language, and glittering, devastating detail on the page--and never without touches of rich, honest humor--Adichie weaves together her own experience of her father’s death with threads of his life story, from his remarkable survival during the Biafran war, through a long career as a statistics professor, into the days of the pandemic in which he’d stay connected with his children and grandchildren over video chat from the family home in Abba, Nigeria. In the compact format of We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele, Adichie delivers a gem of a book--a book that fundamentally connects us to one another as it probes one of the most universal human experiences. Notes on Grief is a book for this moment—a work readers will treasure and share now more than ever--and yet will prove durable and timeless, an indispensable addition to Adichie's canon
