A Nigerian Book Is The 2nd Most Translated Book Ever - Wikipedia (snapshots) by SoloTu: 12:42am On May 19, 2016
I was just doing my usual daily internet wandering when I found out that the second most translated book in the world is by a Nigerian author.

According to wikipedia, the daily devotional 'Rhapsody Of Realities' by nigerian Pastor cum televangelist, Chris Oyakhilome is at the apex of the most translated books in the world with 710 translations and still counting , second only to the Bible which has 2932 translation for at least one book.

Another Nigerian book on the list is 'Things fall apart' by the late legendary Nigerian author Chinua Achebe which ranks 47th on the list with 50 translations.

Nah! juqst endeavor to read it, it's way above many popular devotionals contentwise. however, what i personally d'ont like about it is the pastor's face on every page.
