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.

Nsu, so there is a Vigil, by the Umuokpu, a powerful clan

Harmattan
Harmattan is a novel about a young Nigerian emigrant Uhunoma who, after a couple of years spent strayed across the Old Continent in search of a better life, ends up in a German prison somewhere in Bavaria for not having valid documents required for staying in the territory of the EU. In prison, she meets women from around the world, each carrying their own burden of remorse, bitterness and frustration with being imprisoned.
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.

WOMEN’S ROLE IN NEGOTIATION PRO...
In this book the author states that despite bearing the highest brunt of
violence, it is improper to relegate all women to the status of victims of war
and conflict. Consequently, she argues that women play a major role in
peace making processes much as they bear the brunt of violence. They
deserve a place at the table, actively involved in decision making to ensure
peaceful coexistence. It is on this background that the author investigated
the main contributions of women to negotiation processes with regard to
South Sudan by examining the case of the Machakos and Naivasha peace
processes. The main finding in the book is that peace agreements, post-
conflict reconstruction and governance can do better when women are
involved. In essence, it is established that women who were involved in the
Machakos and Naivasha peace building processes contributed
considerably to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. Despite the many challenges they
were faced with, they continue to be instrumental in the implementation of
the Agreement.

The Echoes of the Ravine
The Fear of the Void
When the night touches the ground
the day puts a shroud on its head
a flood of baffling darkness
then the concept of nothingness becomes more real
I get filled with terror
and receive attacks of anxiety
-- the fear of the void
death is imminent
I practice how to die everyday
I die many times
I learn to surrender
to the void
-- to this nothingness.
