Things Fall Apart is a must read book for anyone, this is a book that appears on every greatest book of all time and is heralded by many as the archetypal, perhaps prototypical, novel in English about the African experience of colonial rule.
Things Fall Apart is a must read book for anyone, this is a book that appears on every greatest book of all time and is heralded by many as the archetypal, perhaps prototypical, novel in English about the African experience of colonial rule.
Achebe’s writing style would be reason enough to read this novel. He is simultaneously lyrically and spare. There isn’t a single extraneous word and yet it is not remotely spartan. It is instead a forceful description of a superstitious, oftentimes opaque, world. Although written in English it is shot through with the idiomatic, proverbial structures of the Igbo dialect that Achebe references at the outset.
Through the eyes of the protagonist we are given a window to view the richness of igbo culture, not romanticised, sanctified or glamorised but instead laid bare with shockingly brutal, casually cruel injustices.
The veracity allows all readers to feel something of what it must be like for your thousand-year-old culture and customs to come under sustained, oftentimes pernicious, assault, in the name of “civilisation”.
This is a rightly celebrated book that captures you and your imagination long after you put it down.

Ireke Onibudo
Ireke Onibudo is a Yoruba literature novel that narrates the life of a man name who shares the same name as the book.
In this book, Ireke is a regular man who is looking for the significance of life like the majority of us. It follows his peculiar however exciting journey from beggar to Oba (King).
By self control, moral restraint and sheer favorable luck, he wins over misfortune to turn into a commended warlord and honorable man.
His story runs alongside by a tale told by his dead mother.
We Should All Be Feminists
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.
