Description
In 2004, Port Harcourt was a city in turmoil, where the kidnapping of oil workers in the Niger Delta had reached a boiling point. A kidnapping went awry, reconnecting four lives in unexpected ways. Douye, Amaibi, Kaniye, and Tubo - individuals from different walks of life - found themselves entangled in a complex web of corruption, injustice, and the devastating effects of military rule. Against the backdrop of a society torn apart by the long-term consequences of military rule, these four men navigate their issues in different ways, each in their own voice. Chimeka Garricks' debut novel paints a frank and moving picture of contemporary Nigeria, exposing the evil consequences of corruption and the high price it exacts on a society. A powerful and thought-provoking story, Tomorrow Died Yesterday is a chronicle of a region in turmoil, where the expectations of the past collide with the realities of the present.
