Nigerian Columnists and their Art is a ground-breaking book that discusses the art of opinion writing; its place and significance in Nigerian journalism. It is a 60 year old journey that illustrates analyses with some of the finest opinion pieces published by columnists across different generations. It is a good advertisement for Nigerian history, and indeed literature.  It’s a useful discourse on what opinion writing is and the different classifications of the craft.

“This book is a tribute to Nigerian columnists in all ages—their role in the making of the nation’s history, their successes in halting the reign of impunity, and their determination to continue until our nation and people arrive on the shores of the Promised Land”

—Emeka Izeze, former managing director, Guardian Newspapers Ltd
