Advance Praise
"Sylva Nze Ifedigbo can stand on the same podium as masters like Gurcharan Das. What makes his writing plain and unique at the same time, is the elegance of his prose. He writes with such clarity, that one does not need to be told that he is one of the best storytellers of his generation."
- Onyeka Nwelue, author of The Strangers of Braamfontein
"Believers and Hustlers is the contemporary Nigerian novel, doing on the page what Wole Soyinka's Jero plays did on the stage. Mr. Ifedigbo's writerly instincts probe, with uncanny accuracy, the religion-media matrix and the result is a milestone of a book, a book with a passport into most of Africa."
- Tade Ipadeola, author of The Sahara Testaments
"In this new offering, Nze Sylva’s characters come fully formed and we can see the backstory to why they are placed in each chapter and in the story itself. For the first time, the reader is allowed to form their opinions and draw conclusions for themselves on the different themes of family, sacrifice, religion and spirituality explored expertly in this book.I commend this book by the mercies of our faithful God to you - churchgoer, freethinker but most importantly, a reader like you to see for yourself whether Ifenna deserved his fate in the end."
-Ijeoma Ucheibe, Literary Curator at the Bagusng
