Tomorrow Died Yesterday

At the height of the kidnap of oil workers in the Niger Delta, a kidnapping goes awry, and four lives are reconnected.  Douye aka Doughboy the career militant responsible for the crime, Amaibi the gentle university professor / eco-warrior accused, Kaniye the lawyer turned restaurateur who tries to get him off and Tubo an amoral oil company executive. Against a backdrop of corrupt practises, failed systems and injustice, these four friends tell the story of oil in a region and its effects on local communities and the Nigerian larger society.
Chimeka Garricks in his debut novel has written a forthright story about the realities of contemporary Nigeria.
