It feels longer still because I left under a cloud.A young Nigerian living in New York City goes home to Lagos for a short visit, finding a city both familiar and strange. In a city dense with story, the unnamed narrator moves through a mosaic of life, hoping to find inspiration for his own. He witnesses the "yahoo yahoo" diligently perpetrating email frauds from an Internet café, longs after a mysterious woman reading on a public bus who disembarks and disappears into a bookless crowd, and recalls the tragic fate of an eleven-year-old boy accused of stealing at a local market.Along the way, the man reconnects with old friends, a former girlfriend, and extended family, taps into the energies of Lagos life—creative, malevolent, ambiguous—and slowly begins to reconcile the profound changes that have taken place in his country and the truth about himself.In spare, precise prose that sees humanity everywhere, interwoven with original photos by the author, Every Day Is for the Thief—originally published in Nigeria in 2007—is a wholly original work of fiction. This revised and updated edition is the first version of this unique book to be made available outside Africa.

The electricity demand in Nigeria far outstrips the supply and the supply also is epileptic in nature. The country is faced with acute electricity problems which are hindering its development, notwithstanding the availability of vast natural resources in the country. The history of electricity in Nigeria dates back to 1896 where electricity was first produced in Lagos, fifteen years after its introduction in England. Despite the fact that its existence in the country is over a century, its development has been at a slow rate. In 1950, a central body was established by legislative council, which transferred electricity supply and development to the care of the central body known as the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN). Other bodies like the Native Authorities and Nigeria Electricity Supply Company (NESCO) have licenses to produces electricity in some locations in Nigeria. There was another body known as Niger Dams Authority (NDA) established by an act of parliament. The Authority was responsible for the construction and maintenance of dams and other works on the River Niger and also generating electricity by means of water power, improving, production and promoting fish brims and irrigation. The energy produced by NDA was sold to the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria for distribution and sales at utility voltages. In 1972 the National Electric Power Authority of Nigeria (NEPA) was established with the amalgamation of Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN) and the Niger Dam Authority (NDA). NEPA was empowered to maintain an efficient coordinated and economically viable electricity supply in Nigeria (Sambo, 2008, Onwioduokit and Omoigui, 2000, ECN, 2004).

Dimensions: 8.8in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.This is part one of the autobiography of Pamela Jean Heyman, a Kentish girl who grew up in the period before, during and after the Second World War and went on to migrate to Nigeria in search of interest and excitement. It covers the period from her birth in 1931 to the eve of her departure for Africa in 1956. Most of the story is set in and around Throwley, Ashford and Maidstone in the 1930s and 40s. The author, Jean, was born on her maternal Grandparents farm. Her Father left soon after the birth of her little brother. He remarried, and Jeans Mother moved to Maidstone where she took up a career in hairdressing, leaving Jean and her brother in the care of Grandma and Grandad and Auntie Kalla. In the tale that unfolds the old couple and their second daughter represents fortitude and loving stability, whereas Jeans Mother, on her frequent visits, represents glamour, laughter and colour. By the end of the 1930s Jeans Grandparents had to give up the farm due to ill health. Jean and her Brother went to live with their Mother and her new Husband and their half-Sister, Maureen. This period coincides with the outbreak of war and the beginning of its privations. The Authors life story serves as an evocative account of how country people lived in those days and how (not withstanding the trials and tribulations brought about by her Mothers third marriage), during and after the war she worked hard to improve her secretarial skills which enabled her to eventually obtain a position in the Federal Government of Nigeria in Lagos. Part two will recount this period. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN., Xlibris Corporation<
