As Minister for Culture, the Honourable M. A. Nanga is 'a man of
the people', as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish
opportunist. At first, the contrast between Nanga and Odili, a
former pupil who is visiting the ministry, appears huge. But in the
'eat-and-let-eat' atmosphere, Odili's idealism soon collides with
his lusts - and the two men's personal and political tauntings
threaten to send their country into chaos. Published,
prophetically, just days before Nigeria's first attempted coup in
1966, A Man of the People is an essential part of his body of work
dealing with modern African history.
