Placards by John Ighodaro
Social decay has overtaken an unnamed African country and corruption lies like a thick dark cloud over the land. But a young boy stumbles on an idea and unleashes a revolution.
Interventions: Volume One by Wole Soyinka
The first volume of a series of essays whose themes vary from the sublime to the ridiculous: from national foibles to the tragic face of nation existence, from citizens' derelictions and delinquencies to government's criminalities and betrayals of trust, from the celebration of life and other eulogies to lamentations.
Service of the Fatherland by Remi Bamisaiye
There were protests and violent demonstrations but still hundreds of new graduates had to obey. Service of the fatherland scattered young people and their plans for the future to the furthest corners of a great country. In the far south, they met for the first time - Sade, Usman, Biodun, Jibrin, Tim and the others: all strangers, all serfs.
