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.
