The product of a publishing collaboration between Premium Times Books, an imprint of Premium Times Services Limited, and the highly reputed Parrésia Publishers Ltd., and soon to be available in bookshops and across online digital media platforms, Naija No Dey Carry Last by Professor Pius Adesanmi gathers his most important reflections on Nigeria over the last decade, mostly published in his Premium Times, Sahara Reporters and Nigerian Village Square columns. Naija No Dey Carry Last is a tribute and an argument for the place of memory in Nigeria's socio-politics.
Adesanmi has over the last twenty years established his stature as one of Africa's leading academics and was one of the first to use social media as a new classroom in which to test out his ideas and engage with our country. Educated at the Universities of Ilorin, Ibadan and British Columbia, Pius Adesanmi, who is presently a Professor of English and African Studies at Carleton University in Canada, has won numerous awards including the inaugural Penguin Prize for African Writing in 2010.
