IGBO BOY: Profit And Prejudice
$3.30Add to cartProduct Type: eBook
Title of Book: IGBO BOY: Profit and Prejudice
Name of Author: Emmanuel Akaolisa ChukwuebukaBook Description
The book answers the Igbo question in Nigeria. It starts from the story of the Igbo apprentice in a clear engaging narrative, explaining how the apprentice starts out as a young lad under the master’s tutelage and then becomes a master himself after some mild or intense drama with his master. The book then moves to the issue of Igbos and their reception in the Nigerian society in which they are one of the 3 major ethnic groups. For example it shows the surprise for the apprentice when his customers or clients who once adored him for meeting their needs later turn to express not-so-pleasant remarks on his person because of his ethnicity.
The author proffers ways to see the Igbos and non-Igbos too; as first of all humans before any ethnic identity, and then the need to work towards unity and peace by all and sundry.

Title of Book: SOMETIMES A POET & THE PEACE OF WISDOM
Name of Author: Akaolisah Chukwuebuka
ISBN: 9781311328335Book Description
This book betrays the individualism of poetry. Spilling ink sparingly, it touches with a scalpel’s precision on age-long issues in such way that willing minds will soak it up with gauzy-ease. It is for ‘poets’ who may not comprehend anything except through poetry, like soldiers who cannot know music except through the rhythms of gunshots. Really, beyond metaphor, sometimes poetry can be engineering, medicine or battlegrounds; but a poet is always human.
The poems here look at the deepest motives behind what humans do (knowingly or unknowingly). They show how we search for things endlessly as we are pushed by unseen forces.
The book speaks on comfort and consolation even in the face of what looks like loss. It talks of nature and, importantly, peace within one’s self and relationships with others.
