The name of this book, OMEOKACHIE OMENUKO, is something that was done and came out during the life of Pita Nwana.
Many times people plan something they will do but they do not have the dedication to see that the thing comes to pass. People like this try hard and pray that the thing they plan will happen. Prayer without faith through work is not effective. In Pita Nwana’s case, he planned and prayed as well as working for all of those things to go forward the way he expected. It was this that caused his son to give him this name of OMEOKACHIE that is used to name the book.
One who reads OMENUKO of Pita Nwana will wonder if what happened in that book was completely true or if it was a fiction, but if one reads this book OMEOKACHIE OMENUKO it will help him to know who Pita Nwana really was. The person will then know if the things he wrote in that book were factual or if they were folk tales.
Omeokachie Omenuko is a book about the life of Pita Nwana, a special man among men, a man who trusted his personal god and did a special work for the public without receiving any money.

The present Igbo dictionary is a much revised and expanded version of the Igbo dictionary published by Kay Williamson, Ethiope Press, Benin City in 1972. Professor Williamson died in early January 2005, with it
still unpublished. The revision was prepared in the 1970s and 1980s and was typed camera-ready in a manuscript submitted to the same publishers in 1983. The publishers first delayed in responding and then
finally admitted they had lost the copy. So only a photocopy of the original typed version exists.

This booklet is an exposition on the native customs and laws the Igbos keep. Topics such as Title taking, Gender,Land ownership, Marriage and Courtship laws are covered. It should be noted that some of these customs have been lost or forfeited when Igbos converted to Christianity although it is common to find many who combine African Traditional religion and Christianity.

An anthology of modern Igbo verse edited by R.M Ekechukwu and translated to English by Frances W. Pritchett. It includes a glossary.

In this book, the writer mirrors the Idema community, its poor level of development, and state of economic decadence, caused by the negligence of the Government. The writer also attributes its state to the activities of oil companies that exploit the resources of their host communities and leave them bare-handed to fend-off the fierce beast of poverty and underdevelopment.

Using metaphors and outright allusions, the writer highlights the Niger-Delta struggle, and the richness of a state saddled with perversion and deprivation. The writer also traces the historical pedigree of the NYSC scheme, while emphasising its lofty objectives and x-raying the chasm between these ideals and reality.

An Introductory Text to Protestant History and Reformed Theology to help modern charismatic  African Christians understand that Christianity did not begin in 1900. It   commemorates the  Protestant Reformation which began

In this book there are several marital issues, which in conservative Christian circle, should not be discussed openly but which are addressed in this book thereby removing any form of ignorance.

Silhouette series is an ongoing project by  poet, Nnanna Okpanku in collaboration with Nnebedum Favour Ifechukwu,and Lilian Isih.  He has given us a sneak preview with the first three visual poems: The Runaway Bride, Mirror Mirror on the wall, and  A Stranger.

Silhouette series is one of a kind poetry album  which The Crater Library loves to categorise as Visual Poems. Visual poems are poems accompanied by photographs which capture the essence of the poems.

The poet  ensures his subject matters (words and models) are aligned to capture the feelings he is expressing. Neither deducts from the other, but the well crafted words and breathtaking photography suspend’s the readers’ mind to a plane  where he/she feels and understands the emotions behind each medium.

Fulfilling Purpose is an enlightening  read  that aims to  make  businessmen and women  of its readers. It sets the art of skill acquisition and self-reliance in a wonderful and easy perspective.

In this  dissertation, Henry Ibekwe  calls into question the silently-held presumption that the Latinization (i.e. the use of Latin alphabets in transcription) of indigenous languages in southeastern Nigeria is both necessary and sufficient for their orthography.
The arguments presented herein aim to demonstrate the fact that Latinization has systematically excluded an entire realm of symbols and meanings which facilitate the inter-subjective transfer of ideas; realms that cannot always be navigated by relying upon transcription by way of Latin alphabets.

In order to adequately address several of the weaknesses identified in the Latinized scripts, the author argues for an expanded orthography that is more inclusive and representative of the sociofacts, mentifacts and artifacts that are peculiar to southeastern Nigeria.

Frances W. Pritchett writes about how she became interested in Igbo language after meeting and hosting a Nigerian Igbo student.

“In learning about a language one also learns about the culture that produced it–the beliefs, traditions, habits, attitudes, ways of making a living, interpretations of natural surroundings, ideas about marriage, children, etc. I discovered that my Eurocentric education had left me
sadly ignorant about Africa, so I began to educate myself by reading books by African writers. “Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe, had a great impact on me.I developed a desire to see for myself this milieu that was clearly so different from my own.”

Written by Nkwoh, Marius, this book addresses bribery and corruption in the Nigerian society.it is important to note that as far back as 1965,corruption was a bane to the Nigerian society as much as it is presently.
