Are you sure Prof Ola Rotimi wrote Incorruptible Judge? I think one Adegoke wrote the book.

This was the first ever novel i read on my own without being told to do so by any teacher or adult. The book change my reading life forever, It helped widened up my imagination. I got into the book that I skipped meals most times


I burrowed the book playfully from my friend Ismaila and till date i never returned it

Those books were the best, man! I learnt reading with Ralia, the sugar girl. Then after, I read every book I came across. I read the Dark Child by C. M Laye in primary school. King Solomon's Mines is one book I'll never forget. If there is anyway I'd get it, someone, please, tell me.

But all sha, I thank my mom. God bless her. She showed me all. Btw, I'm just 19. Not everyone of this generation isn't sound.

Check the list. "An African Night's Entertainment" is there.

GOOD BOOKS THEY ARE. I ALSO REMEMBER READING "SCOUNDRELS IN UNIFORM", A COMPELLING STORY WITH LOTS OF COMEDY

I thought about "Sizwe Bansi Is Dead" but it is not a Nigerian book. I have read it back to back and I enjoyed it. Especially, the case of Dhlamini that owns a funeral parlour
