Winner of the McKitterick Prize 2018. "Never cover an assignment
without collecting a brown envelope," Boniface had said. "It is a
real life saver for all journalists in this country." Ifiok, a
young journalist working for the government radio station in Lagos,
Nigeria, always aspires to do the right thing, but the odds seem to
be stacked against him. Government pressures cause the funding to
his radio drama to get cut off, his girlfriend leaves him when she
discovers he is having an affair with an intern, and kidnappings
and militancy are on the rise in the country. When Ifiok travels to
his hometown to do a documentary on some ex-militants' apparent
redemption, a tragi-comic series of events will make him realise he
is unable to swim against the tide of corruption. Building on the
legacy of the great African satirist tradition of Ngugi Wa Thiongo
and Ayi Kwei Armah, Radio Sunrise paints a sharp-tongued portrait
of (post) post-colonial Nigeria.
