TWO CENTS FOR AFRICA captures the virulent and inexpedient attitude of Africans towards development. The work further stipulates that Africa's fate can only be changed by Africans through a mental revolution, but that if they continue to be lack lustre towards their own growth, it would cost a stranger just two cents this time to re-appropriate Africa and mastermind its rich natural resources. Consequently, Africans need to decolonise their mentalities and give room for objective contributions where talents and ethics can be made manifest for development to be effective. Dr. David Toh Kusi English Department ENS Yaounde This work addresses the essentials of emergence for Africa. With deft and cogent appeal, the author aligns situation on situation and argument on argument to propose that the plight of the African continent needs all African hands on deck to salvage it. This is certainly one powerful hand brought in and it is left for the reader to bolster the proposition by active participation in its take off. Patrick Tata PATAMAE

Someplace, Somewhere is an exemplary piece of socio-political satire. It is a collection of short reflective stories that highlight the predicament of a people and exposes the ills of a society where neglect and decay are the nauseating lure and allure of everyday life. Carefully knit, this collection vividly provokes the nostalgia of the round-the-hearth rural evening story-telling atmosphere of yesteryears. Indeed, Bime has this knack for the fine details of story-telling, which blends so magically with her flare of crude humour, a combination that makes her social satire simply irresistible.
