Amazon, the Seattle, Washington-based multinational technology company focusing on e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, and which boasts of the biggest selection of books in the world, has listed one of the books of Nigerian international journalist, Dare Babarinsa.
The listed book is ONE DAY AND A STORY…Reminiscences of an African Journalist.
In the book, a beautiful sequel to another Babarinsa’s epic, House of War, the author, also the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Gaskia Media Limited, opens a window to Nigeria and Africa of the 1980s when strongmen and dictatorial regimes held the continent by the jugular, almost suffocating it with their jackboots.
In particular, Babarinsa depicts the history of Nigeria’s dictatorial regimes of the 1980s in ONE DAY AND A STORY…, recalling the despicable activities of Generals who trampled on human liberty and dignity with such an impunity that would have made Satan himself cringe in horror.
One of such horrifying experiences, the author recounted in the book, was the murder of his mentor and Editor-in-Chief of Newswatch magazine, Dele Giwa, through a parcel bomb.
The author, Thursday night, told The Crest, how happy he had been with the huge patronage that ONE DAY AND A STORY….has enjoyed so far. “It is a singular development for the promotion of authentic African history,” he said.
