Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failures of old generations to teach most young ones Nigerian family, traditional, religious and national values are mostly responsible for lawlessness and immoralities in the society. These prove the fact in the adage that says, “a man who builds a house without building his children only builds what the children will later sell”. For so long, Nigerians had been paying too much attention on politics, economy and other things at the expense of the Value System which is partly designed with the use of the National Anthem and The Pledge to the nation. Because of the near extinctions of moral; family and other values with the belief in God Of All Creations, the abundant resources in Nigeria had become snares for the citizens who are supposed to use them for the good of present and future generations. This book which is designed for children and youths gives vivid picture of Nigerian Value System through explanations of the National Anthem and The Pledge. The author uses twenty-six stories, poems, class activities and other items to teach civic responsibilities and moral obligations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adage says that a man who builds a house without building his children only builds what the children will later sell. Similarly, a nation that builds its economy and political structures without putting the national values into considerations builds what the citizens will later destroy. Plutarch said, "the richest soil, uncultivated produces the rankest weeds." This probably explains reasons the rich soil (natural and other resources) in Nigeria produces the rankest weeds in the forms of social vices and crimes. Nigerians pay too much attention on politics, economy and other things at the expense of the value system that is embedded in the national anthem and the pledge to the nation. Because of the near extinctions of moral; family and traditional values with the belief in God Of Creation, the abundant resources in Nigeria had become snares for the citizens who are supposed to use them for the good of the present and future generations. This book which is designed for Primary and Junior Secondary School Students teaches the values of the national anthem and the pledge to Nigeria through the use of 26 stories, poems and class activities; some of which are selected from the author's books titled Foundation and Young Generation Bible Club Story Books. With each of the stories titled with a line or a topic in the anthem and the pledge, the book teaches young minds civic responsibilities and moral lessons some of which are viewed from Christian perspectives, serving as reminders of the purposes of the national anthem and the pledge to Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to results of various research works; the causes of social vices and crimes are attributed to the erosion of family, traditional, moral, religious and national values which are usually designed to make people responsible and reasonable.

In order to equip parents; teachers and other children handlers with resource materials, the author introduces Value Education to them in this and other books. He blends Moral Instructions with Academics through the use of stories, nursery rhymes, class activities and other study items which are designed to impact children of all ages with moral and other values.

Download or read book Fine Boys written by Eghosa Imasuen and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A coming-of-age tale told from the perspective of Nigeria’s Generation X, caught amid the throes of a nascent pro-democracy movement, demoralizing corruption, and campus violence. Ewaen is a Nigerian teenager, bored at home in Warri and eager to flee from his parents’ unhappy marriage and incessant quarreling. When Ewaen is admitted to the University of Benin, he makes new friends who, like him, are excited about their newfound independence. They hang out in parking lots, trading gibes in pidgin and English and discovering the pleasures that freedom affords them. But when university strikes begin and ruthlessly violent confraternities unleash mayhem on their campus, Ewaen and his new friends must learn to adapt—or risk becoming the confras' next unwilling recruits. In his trademark witty, colloquial style, critically acclaimed author Eghosa Imasuen presents everyday Nigerian life against the backdrop of the pro-democracy riots of the 1980s and 1990s, the lost hopes of June 12 (Nigeria’s Democracy Day), and the terror of the Abacha years. Fine Boys is a chronicle of time, not just in Nigeria, but also for its budding post-Biafran generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times, Washington Post, Telegraph, and BBC’s most anticipated book of August 2019 One of Time’s 32 Books You Need to Read This Summer A stunning debut novel, from Rhodes Scholar and winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing, Tope Folarin about a Nigerian family living in Utah and their uncomfortable assimilation to American life. Living in small-town Utah has always been an uneasy fit for Tunde Akinola’s family, especially for his Nigeria-born parents. Though Tunde speaks English with a Midwestern accent, he can’t escape the children who rub his skin and ask why the black won’t come off. As he struggles to fit in and find his place in the world, he finds little solace from his parents who are grappling with their own issues. Tunde’s father, ever the optimist, works tirelessly chasing his American dream while his wife, lonely in Utah without family and friends, sinks deeper into schizophrenia. Then one otherwise-ordinary morning, Tunde’s mother wakes him with a hug, bundles him and his baby brother into the car, and takes them away from the only home they’ve ever known. But running away doesn’t bring her, or her children, any relief from the demons that plague her; once Tunde’s father tracks them down, she flees to Nigeria, and Tunde never feels at home again. He spends the rest of his childhood and young adulthood searching for connection—to the wary stepmother and stepbrothers he gains when his father remarries; to the Utah residents who mock his father’s accent; to evangelical religion; to his Texas middle school’s crowd of African-Americans; to the fraternity brothers of his historically black college. In so doing, he discovers something that sends him on a journey away from everything he has known. Sweeping, stirring, and perspective-shifting, A Particular Kind of Black Man is a beautiful and poignant exploration of the meaning of memory, manhood, home, and identity as seen through the eyes of a first-generation Nigerian-American.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some historical accounts are distorted, so many parts were written long before they eventually become history.
