Description

This book’s name can be translated as the mysteries of God, written by prolific writer David Fagunwa.  

David O. Fagunwa is the writer of the first full-length novel in Yoruba language. Fagunwa’s works characteristically take the form of loosely constructed picaresque fairy tales containing many folklore elements: spirits, monsters, gods, magic, and witchcraft. 

In his book he assembles Yoruba folktales and weaves them together to form a composite narrative, while preaching  ‘high morals’ from Yoruba cultural perspective as well as Christian ethos. In this work he takes cognizance of the fact that real social and political power has shifted from Obas or traditional chiefs to the colonialists. 

This is a landmark book that should not be missed out on.

Ulu is the main divinity in the town of Umuaro, and he united six warring towns to create a strong community that shares fundamental beliefs however preserve local village traditions. Since Ezeulu is half god and half man, he battles to recognize what is human will and what is heavenly will.

We Should All Be Feminists

$4.00
The book - We Should All Be Feminists can be read as a preliminary to get women's liberation. While the writer shares her experiences of confronting gender-based discrimination and those of her loved ones in Nigeria, the issues introduced in the book are as yet general in the sense, individuals across the world can identify with them. The two aspects of the books that I have basically centered on in this review are: the stereotypical idea of feminism and the word feminist; and the process of normalization. Different issues talked about by the creator are: invisibilization, pay gap, raising young ladies and young men in an unexpected way, culture and gender.
