Letters from Nigeria

Detailing a country rife with corruption, poverty and rampant extortion, Arthur Carlisle's Letters from Nigeria is his account of being transplanted from his comfortable home in South Africa to live and work in a country that is forever falling apart. During his two years in Nigeria, Carlisle writes letters home to his family and friends describing his daily life: his weeks-long struggle to simply get his possessions from customs, his daily battles to keep his electricity going, the ongoing bribery he has to endure from the locals. Carlisle writes with a mix of world-weary humour and a desire to see the country's conditions improve - an essential insight into a place where most of us may never venture.
