“The Last Days at Forcados High School” by A.H. Mohammed
tells the story
of Jimi Solade, the most popular boy at the
elite Forcados High School. As he begins his
final year in senior secondary together with
his friends, the sweet-hearted and devout
Nene and Ansa, the nerdy art genius, he’s
determined it’s going to be his best year yet.
But Jimi’s rogue brother, Wole, is back –
which means trouble can’t be far behind.
Then there’s Efua, the beautiful and
mysterious new girl in class who seems to
have no time for boys – including Jimi. But
when Jimi’s mother falls ill, he realizes that
things are about to change - and not
necessarily in a good way.
A funny and honest book about self-
discovery, family, friendship, tolerance and
the highs and lows of life as a modern
Nigerian teenager. Told in straightforward
language, A.H. Mohammed never talks down
to readers. Instead, Last Days stands out
with its realistic situations, original
characters and deft storytelling. It is at once
entertaining and deadly serious, tackling a
range of difficult issues including drug
abuse, discrimination and loss, with
intelligence and great writing.
