1993. Houston. Dr. Wale Olufunmi, lunar rock geologist, has a life most Nigerian immigrants would kill for, but then most Nigerians aren't Wale--a great scientific mind in exile with galactic ambitions. Then comes an outlandish order: steal a piece of the moon. With both personal and national glory at stake, Wale manages to pull off the near impossible, setting out on a journey back to Nigeria that leads anywhere but home. Compelled by Wale's impulsive act, Nigerians traces arcs in time and space from Houston to Stockholm, from Cape Town to Bulawayo, picking up on the intersecting lives of a South African abalone smuggler, a freedom fighter's young daughter, and Wale's own ambitious son. Deji Olukotun's debut novel defies categorization, a story of international intrigue that tackles deeper questions about exile, identity, and the need to answer an elusive question: what exactly is brain gain? -- Back cover.

There are a lot of smart scientists working on ways to improve our species. Some are working within medical communities, trying to cure cancers and prevent inheritable diseases. Others are working in academic environments, doing research on how to make us smarter, live longer, or be better adapted for space travel. Still others are hacking away in secretive government labs far from the public eye. Right in plain sight are hundreds of community biolabs operating all around the world.Where will all these changes take us? Some may think or hope that the scientific elite in Boston or London will be making hard choices on behalf of the planet. But the future of Homo sapiens will be determined by billions of individuals whose reproductive and medical choices may already be altering our species more than any policy recommendations ever could.What is it we are becoming? Or to get to the heart of this book, what is it that we want Homo sapiens to become? We've been asking smart people wherever we go who are thinking about these topics. Scientists, of course. But also sociologists, anthropologists, bioethicists, visual artists, and Buddhist monks. The result is Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species.

The Politics of Biafra and Future of Nigeria is a reflection on the importance of history in addressing present realities and the future of coexistance of Nigeria’s multi ethnic society. It analyses the ideological struggles and conflict in Biafra during the war with Nigeria from 1967-1970, the impact of the war and the relevance of those struggles to the current agitations for a new state of Biafra. In this historical and analytical work, the author observes that nearly fifty years after the end of the Nigerian-Biafra war in 1970, Nigeria is still grappling with the Biafran dilemma. No matter its pretensions, Nigeria will at some point have to reform its present pseudo federal arrangement to create a more inclusive, equitable and proper federal structure. If not, the country will continue to face epileptic developmental thrusts, militancy in the Niger Delta and a ruinous intensifying clamour for self-determination by disadvantaged ethnic groups, especially the Igbo. The author argues that in the world, in the era of technology inspired globalisation, it is impossible to hold an unwilling people hostage in any country without negative consequences. He makes a case for a new order in Nigeria, expressing the view that Nigeria is caught in a vicious circle of graft and instability and nothing will change until Nigeria finds the proper foundational matrix to galvanise the talents and resources of the people and create a productive economy.
