Dpaulie: Do you know if there is an English version of Ogboju ode ninu Igbo irunmole or where I can get the e format of any version available to you? The author of that book would make a good series writer nowadays, very top notch imaginations. |

Sixfeetbelle:The African Child was an autobiography of the author Camara Laye. He was born and raised in Guinea. After his education, he traveled to France, either for more study or for work, (can't remember which, right now). While in France he got bored and decided to write about his childhood and growing up in his rural village in Guinea . . .That book is a masterpiece. |

Please I have been looking for these titles for a while Time Changes Yesterday - Nyengi Koin A Second Chance - Nyengi Koin Any help is appreciated. For anyone else looking for some classics, here are a few sites suggested by some amazing individuals on this thread https://b-ok.africa/ https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2Fnqhb77opmxde5fm2owoo?page=6#folder-navigation I came across this one below but it appears it's not free like the previous ones. https://afribookhub.com/ |

These books sparked our imagination as kids and has its lasting impact. Literacy level of the 80s and 90s were so high, unlike what we have today from millennials. I remember books like The Madness of Didi by Obi Egbuna, One week One Trouble which featured Wilson Tagbo. Many others, there was little room for TV or other distraction in those days, really. 1 Like |

I got so many memories Really feeling nostalgic right now..... While going through the thread I remembered Wole Soyinka the lion and the jewel, I still feel bad for Sidi. She was lied to and raped. I know the book was fiction but I hated the story cos of that. |
