Book Description
LOVE…Fulfilling of the Law By: Evangelist Adekunle Emmanuel Oke LOVE…Fulfilling of the Law is an expository study on practical love. The book teaches what love is, the qualities and characteristics of love. It enables us to understand the love of God to man, love of man to God and love among men in their communities and their societies. “Love is the first and the greatest Law. Jesus said unto him, thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matt. 22:37-40). Love works no ill to his neighbors: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10). The above passages and many others are the mind of God in love; also this book. Love is very important for a heavenly minded Christian! Heaven is the greatest inheritance of a Christian. Every heavenly minded and focused Christian is advised to have a copy of this book. James 2:20: “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without work is dead also. One cannot make heaven by force or by self-conviction; it all depends on your works through grace, no work-done without love. Hence heaven cannot be real without love.”

Book Description
Professor Darah turned seventy on Wednesday November 22, 2017 and to celebrate his very productive career, his colleagues and many of those he has mentored thought it appropriate to mark his official exit from the university in a dignified way by commissioning for publication, in the now acceptable festschrift tradition, the highly compelling and outstanding collection of essays titled: Scholarship and Commitment: Essays in Honour of G.G. Darah. The book is a ground-breaking collection of essays; some are couched as tributes to the ebullient celebrant, there are others on more serious discourses in the areas of literary theories and criticism, language and linguistics, popular literature and politics, the African woman, identity and contemporary realities, oral literature, the news media and cultural studies. The essays, on their own, attest to the vivacity and liveliness as well as the encouraging state of health of publishing in the Nigerian academia, which in this collection alone, parades forty-two essays in different fields or discourses.

Book Description
A fresh law school graduate, Ella was in search of the true vision for her future. A few weeks of caution thrown to the wind and unbridled passion set off a domino effect of riddles to solve. Suspicion, distrust, anger, tragedy, the drama unfolds. Yet love was desired from both parties, a mystery that eludes definition. Peace was a coveted truce. But how does one resolve issues with one who believes the world lies under his feet? It would take a journey back to the beginning, soul searching for motives, and making right the wrongs to a child separated from his dad by a cruel twist for over a decade. From the emotional turmoil of juggling careers and single parenting to revamping a family company from the crushing effects of bigotry into a global player and running multinational fortune 500 company, there is enough heartbreaking drama, fear, distrust, betrayal, and pain to last many lifetimes between Ella Olla and Jake Sullivan. Where will this all lead to? This is the Race of Love.

Book Description
Arua Okereke shares his personal account of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, which ended in 1970, in this inspirational and informative autobiography. While there have been numerous accounts of the war, they have largely been written by governmental participants, military leaders, or academic historians, but this autobiography explains what the war did to everyday men and women. As a private in the Biafran Army and later an orderly to the second-in-command in the Biafran Army, a glorified military name for a servant, the author was involved in the war directly and indirectly. As a fresh child recruit with no battle experience, Okereke had no way of knowing the danger he would face. He did not realize how much he needed to prepare for battle emotionally, psychologically, and physically or how the war would continue to affect him long after it ended. Devastated with the outcome of the war, the author had to cope with the dashed hope of a free Biafra as well as the desertion of his hero, the Peoples General, Odumegwu Ojukwu. Find out how he picked up the pieces of a broken life in The Generals Orderly.

Book Description
Winner of the 2011 Costa First Novel Award When their mother catches their father with another woman, twelve year-old Blessing and her fourteen-year-old brother, Ezikiel, are forced to leave their comfortable home in Lagos for a village in the Niger Delta, to live with their mother’s family. Without running water or electricity, Warri is at first a nightmare for Blessing. Her mother is gone all day and works suspiciously late into the night to pay the children’s school fees. Her brother, once a promising student, seems to be falling increasingly under the influence of the local group of violent teenage boys calling themselves Freedom Fighters. Her grandfather, a kind if misguided man, is trying on Islam as his new religion of choice, and is even considering the possibility of bringing in a second wife. But Blessing’s grandmother, wise and practical, soon becomes a beloved mentor, teaching Blessing the ways of the midwife in rural Nigeria. Blessing is exposed to the horrors of genital mutilation and the devastation wrought on the environment by British and American oil companies. As Warri comes to feel like home, Blessing becomes increasingly aware of the threats to its safety, both from its unshakable but dangerous traditions and the relentless carelessness of the modern world. Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away is the witty and beautifully written story of one family’s attempt to survive a new life they could never have imagined, struggling to find a deeper sense of identity along the way.

Book Description
Nobody wants to be a stranger at home, even if one wants to feel at home in an alien country. Celebrated Nigerian author Tanure Ojaide in this memoir recounts his experiences as a Nigerian living and working in the United States. Feeling at home in the United States, but not all the time is coupled with a longing to visit his natal home, as if possessed by the god of nativity, to his home country he goes. Drawn both ways, in a tough tug of war, depending upon where he finds himself—he is caught up in an unending oscillation; now at home and wishing to leave, and soon outside and wishing to be back at home. Often feeling like a stranger no matter how long he has lived and worked in the United States. Not feeling like a stranger he has also refused to blend, wearing materials that make him stand out as an outsider, an African, a Nigerian, a foreigner. There are other differences of beliefs and ideas which do not follow the mainstream, he seems to see things often from different perspective, as a postcolonial fellow, and the others from their metropolitan position of power. He feels he was already formed as a man before his relocation, maybe he is what he is by choice or remain so instinctively.
