Chasing Salah: The Biography by Simon...
The definitive biography of Liverpool legend and most famous Egyptian footballer in the history of the sport, Mohamed Salah.
Salah's achievements are, in many ways, unparalleled. A Champions League and Premier League winner, he is a two-time African Footballer of the Year who straddles two worlds.
The first is the continent he comes from, as well as the Islamic Middle East. The second is Europe, where he has broken all sorts of goalscoring records at Liverpool, helping him to become the most identifiable Arabic player on the planet.
And yet, despite his consistent success on the pitch, record-breaking playing, team victories and popular persona, little is known about the Liverpool forward, or the competing forces around him. That is, until now.
Award-winning football journalist and author Simon Hughes expertly pieces together a fascinating portrait of this enigmatic football icon. From his relationships with his teammates to what motivates him; from how the events of the past decade in Egypt have impacted his life, to what's next in his career - Chasing Salah reveals all.

****************
Abagusii, like all other communities across the world, had a way of relating with time. While the day was dictated by sunrise and sunset, days were separated relatively, with ‘today’ being the anchor relative to other days. Months, on the other hand, followed the moon’s cycle and hence the twelve months of the year. Months were named relative to the weather of the time and the activities it dictated. For this reason, the names of months were largely descriptive.
This provides an overview of the concept of time in Gusii and the rationale for naming the months in the manner they were.
Forged for conquest by Evans Ogeto
African mothers have always been the toughest, fathers could be somewhat docile while grandparents are the spoilers. In this book I have compiled my experiences with my parents and other members of their family like in a typical African home and their influences on me, those with teachers in public schools whose dealings with us was like a military training and politicians who are the monsters on deck.
It is often a hunt and escape, run and chase and catch and seize and thrash type of relationship. A relationship that made us to be continually aligned. A relationship that looking back is one to laugh at.
That democracy is the freedom and right to vote, with the know how of choosing the candidate you want on the ballot papers but with the lack of wisdom of judging who is the right leader to choose, democracy, the sound system is failing. Should there be education on how to choose representatives?

Vaults of Secrets
In one story, a conscience takes it upon itself to keep prodding its principal until she tells the truth about the paternity of her four children. In another story, a woman cannot live with the result of her promiscuous lifestyle. In the title story, Vault of Secrets, a man has a special gift of walking into places at the most inopportune times. In another story, a woman facing the death penalty relives the story of a friend who has already suffered the same fate. In yet another prison story, a man comes to terms with his complicity in activism gone wrong.
The stories in this collection flirt with the limits of freedom and bondage, they are a means with which Olukorede Yishau examines the nature of man and his ability to choose; more so man’s ability to live with the choice he has made.
Madagali
24-year-old Bukar Salisu, a Nigerian-Liberian, is caught between two young damsels: Safiya, the crafty daughter of a 'repentant' Boko Haram leader and the curly haired Liberian Nurse-in-Training, Jewel, whom Bukar meets in Monrovia while there to spend his sick leave with his maternal family.
Both will come to find out that Bukar is a rafto - an impotent man, due to an injury he sustained from a .45 Caliber bullet at the war front.
Set in the North East of contemporary Nigeria, Madagali pays a fundamental attention to the pathetic nature of Nigeria's prolonged fight against the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents, and it follows a complex dilemma of love.a
Deportee
After spending two years living in Cyprus, Anayo, a Nigerian immigrant, is being deported back home, broke, stranded and without any savings to his name. Back in Nigeria he daily deals with the stigma associated with being a deportee even as he begins to re-assess everything that he had regarded as home, friendship, valid fears, love and community. With each new day in Nigeria comes new reve- lations, and nothing appears to be what he had thought them to be. This is a typical story of the hopes and expectations that sustain the drive for transcontinental migration in Africa, and one that depicts parts of the many realities that young African immigrants are confronted with.

The Lake Goddess
The Lake Goddess came to be Flora Nwapa's last novel, yet possibly her most important one, as it restores African culture and spirituality. "Nwapa's message is clear: she-Ona/Ogbuide/woman-may have many children, but she also independently succeeds in her own life, and she is a source of healing and inspiration to all human beings suffering from the ills and madness of modern society worldwide. The goddess whom Nwapa invoked finally reemerges in her original glory in The Lake Goddess to brighten women's path. Her powers and mysteries shine, once again, despite the onslaught of foreign powers and their religions, when Nwapa accounts for the destructive forces of globalization and for attempts to push Uhammiri's children into the abyss of derangement, to rob the deity of her benevolence, and to deny her people both children and wealth. Yet, when the lake goddess finally appears with her image fully restored in Nwapa's last novel, the messenger, who invoked her, has left the land, crossed the river, and joined her ancestors to live on.

Sakagwa’s Ghost
Sakagwa's Ghost, originally published in Kiswahil as Kivuli cha Sakawa, is a story about one of Africa's legendary heroes. A seer, strategist and medicine man, Sakagwa's legend lives to date, holding that many of his predictions have come to pass. His wisdom, some say, served to assure the survival of the Abagusii community in the face of colonial incursion.
In this this story, Sakagwa finds himself at a crossroads following the death of his father, a prominent leader in his own right. Conservative elders in the community, feeling threatened by this youngster's demonstrated wisdom and knowledge are determined to dim his rising star. Will they succeed?
Sakagwa Ng'iti was born and lived in the Abagusii community in western Kenya at the turn of 19th Century (1800). The unfolding story in this book did take place, probably in slightly a different way from that depicted here.
By chronicling this episode, the author gives the story a new lease of life, through artistic rendering, and offers chance for others to comment or offer versions of the story as they understand it.
