11:27Now PlayingBook writers in Nigeria have been asked to avoid the use of languages that could heat up the polity in their books.
A former Vice Chancellor (VC) of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Oye Ibidapo-Obe, said that the language of most books in Nigeria could be better if there were reviews and adequate regulations of the content of books.
He was giving his opinion on recent books published by a former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo and Mr Yinka Odumakin.
About three weeks after former President Obasanjo published his book, 'My Watch', Mr Odumakin released his book entitled 'Watch the Watchman', countering some claims that the President had made in his book.
Professor Ibidapo-Obe commended the writers' efforts in putting the materials together, emphasising such contents were needed in Nigeria for the sake of history.
