The wife of an Anglican bishop could expect a life of peace and
comfort. But Benjamin Kwashi is the bishop of Jos in Nigeria, a
place that is torn by Muslim-Christian violence. Gloria Kwashi has
had her home burnt down and has endured rape and beatings. One of
the beatings left her blinded, until surgery was able to restore
her sight. Despite this, she continues to reach out to widows and
orphans and supports her husband in his remarkable ministry in
Northern Nigeria. This book is a record of love and endurance that
should stimulate us to examine our own lives and how we respond to
adversity.
A sparkling satire on international aid and celebrity, Looking for
Bono charts one man's accidental quest to bring water to his
community. Baba is a semi-literate man living a simple life centred
on the local auto repair shop in Palemo, how he will find his next
meal and an obsession with his disinterested, Nollywood
star-wannabe wife Munira and her voluptuous body. Baba is acutely
aware of the water corruption that has left him, on occasion,
without so much as a drop to even brush his teeth. One day on the
news, a story about international humanitarian Bono flashes
onscreen. Bono is in Africa to do good and like a thunderbolt, Baba
decides that Bono is the answer to all of his problems. Once Bono
hears about the local water issues he will want to step in and
convince the president of Nigeria to end the corruption. Once the
water is flowing, Baba can clean up and Munira will set her sights
a little closer to home. Before he knows it, Baba is a celebrity
being feted by the Lagos media and Munira has turned into his
virtuous wife. Will the ensuing media storm engulf Baba as he is
launched into a world of high stakes foreign aid dealings and
competing interests? Or will he return to his simple life with
water for his community and the renewed affections of his Munira?
