Dead On Arrival: A new novel by Nigerian author - Paul Oluikpe


Nigerian author, Dr. Paul Oluikpe, has written a very touching story of the Nigerian Civil war. Based on real life events, Oluikpe explores the deep recesses of human essence, the brutality and senselessness of war, love, adultery, rivalry, enmity, and human perfidy. All of these play out at the background of the broader story of war. 

Commenting about this book, Mr. Illemakin Soyinka, son of Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka said: ""Dead on Arrival" is a story of parallels. It mirrors the suffering, deprivation and the foibles of a village in Nigeria's Biafra and also symbolizes the larger society full of confounding contradictions. The novel is arrestingly authentic and utterly impressive". Continue...



Oluikpe pulls a lot of punches with this book and come to think of it, the book is garnering rave reviews from readers far and wide already. Kudos to our own Dr. Oluikpe for putting this together and wowing the international audience with a thought provoking novel like this.
