Narrative Landscape Press has announced the release of Ethnicity Eats, Corruption Feasts: A Columnist’s Insights on Nigeria by Niran Adedokun through its Prima Imprint.

The book is Adedokun’s second captivating collection of essays following the 2020 release of Danfo Driver in All of Us.

Announcing the release in an email sent to QEDNG on Tuesday, the publisher said the author, in the thought-provoking book, dissects the complex web of challenges that have long plagued Nigeria.

“He explores the intricate relationship between ethnicity and politics, and how this dynamic has influenced the country’s socio-economic landscape. The essays unravel the layers of corruption that have infiltrated every aspect of Nigerian society and the devastating consequences they inflict on the country.

Ethnicity Eats, Corruption Feasts offers readers a unique perspective on Nigeria’s past, present, and future. It takes an incisive look at the overt religiousness of Nigerians and why the country remains a cesspool of vices regardless. The collection is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Nigeria’s complex socio-political environment and how every citizen can contribute to making the country greater,” the email read.
