I don't know if you have time to read novels, but it might be worth glancing at the latest by Nigerian-American writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dream Count. It casts an unflattering light on recent economic and political developments in Nigeria (she is of course Ibo, from the former Biafra region). It's a fine book, but she won't win any awards, because you need diplomatic support these days. The Nigerians certainly won't back her, and probably not the Americans either. Anyway it's well worth a read, on a wet weekend when next we get one.
