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.”

This is a compilation of 1,000 proverbs in Igbo language, each followed by a usable English translation. The author, Onyekachi H. Ibekwe  made this compilation after much personal reflection on the remote origins and existential imports of the proverbial mode of communication. Proverbs remain vital and peculiar elements of Igbo traditional religion, daily discourse and contemporary worldview.

Made available on the digital platform, it is the author’s  hope that this compilation will serve as a portable, easily navigable reference for anybody that has an interest in the subject matter.

After the flounce  is written by Adenike Isenibi. It is a must read for everyone.

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.
