Its 2004 Port Harcourt, Nigeria at the height of the kidnap of oil workers in the Niger delta, a kidnapping goes awry and four lives are reconnected. Douye aka Doughboy the career militant responsible for the crime. Amaibi the gentle university professor / eco-warrior accused. Kaniye the lawyer turned restaurateur who tries to get him off and Tubo an amoral oil company executive. Against a backdrop of corrupt practises, failed systems and injustice, these four friends tell the story of oil in a region and its effects on local communities and the Nigerian larger society.
Chimeka Garricks in his extraordinary debut novel has written a frank and moving story about the realities of contemporary Nigeria. The evil long term effects of military rule resulting in the fragmentation and break down of moral values. His story paints a realistic picture of the very high price corruption exacts on a society and how no one is immune from its consequences.
Chimeka has written a remarkable book; honest, insightful and tragic – Jude Dibia author of Blackbird.
The book is absolute genius. Well researched, crisp lines, excellent and vivid dialogue, well developed characters. - Jekwu Ozoemene, author of The Anger of Unfulfillment.
Tomorrow Died Yesterday is a chronicle of a region in turmoil, of a generation caught between the expectations of their parents and the depreciations of the Nigerian situation, each of these four men navigate their issues in different ways, and in their own voices. Mr Garricks is a new literary voice; unheralded, fresh, honest, unshorn of superficial flourish. Well worth the read. – Eghosa Imasuen, author of Fine Boys.
Tomorrow Died Yesterday is a story of action and consequence, lies and love, greed and lust, the power of the truth and most poignantly, redemption. In a John Grisham-esque storytelling style, Chimeka Garricks carries the reader from the present to the past and back again in a seamless blend of storytelling, from the swamps of the Niger Delta to its courtrooms with some action, humour, suspense and just the right amount of romance thrown in. Tomorrow Died Yesterday is a novel by a Nigerian about Nigeria for the entire world. All in all, it is an impressive debut for a writer. - Seun Odukoya, reviewer www.naijastories.com

Chimeka Garricks is genius.
By Bolanle
What I appreciated the most about this book is that it was not predictable. I couldn’t anticipate the suspense as I flipped the pages and that was captivating and very refreshing. Also, the emotions in this book were palpable: I grimaced, laughed out loud, blushed, and almost cried.
The book is divided into different time periods and goes something like: present, past, present, past. At each time period, the story is told by one of the four main characters: Kaniye, Tubo, Amaibi and Doye (two female characters are introduced later on). All four boys grew up together on Asiama Island, in the Nigerian Niger Delta region, in the 1970’s. On the surface, it seems like just another story about the wretched political corruption in the Niger Delta region, but it was anything but. Don’t get me wrong, the book explores the violent conflict in the Niger Delta but it also tells the story of the real victims. The story begins in the present introducing us to the four friends, now adults “thriving” in their various walks of life. Then, the author effortlessly weaves in their childhood in Asiama, opening the reader to the history of the characters, and the impact of society, family and friendship in shaping the persons they have become. When we come back to the present, we have a richer and better informed view of who the characters really are. I find that such a window into the characters past really drew me in, creating a peculiar sense of intimacy with the characters. I was particularly intrigued by how the writer portrays the vulnerability, warmth and sometimes cruelty that can go hand in hand with friendship, even friendship amongst children.
Fast-forward to the present, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the love story between Kaniye and Deola. Kaniye seems like quite the special guy--sensitive, charming, funny and above all, knows how to treat a woman’s taste buds! Naturally, I paid special attention to the food throughout the story. Boy, I would do just about anything to try Aunty Eno’s edikang-ikong soup and Kaniye’s native soup.
Every single Nigerian should read this book. Nollywood (Nigerian Hollywood) should make a movie out of this so that people who don’t read will have no excuse. Prior to reading this, my knowledge of the situation in the Niger Delta was quite limited. At the end of the story, I am considerably more informed about the struggle in the Niger Delta. Knowledge is power--we cannot fix a problem that we don’t understand. When you read this book, I believe you will empathize with Doye when he says
“ There is no future for the children of the Niger Delta. Their tomorrow is already dead. It died yesterday.”
But, you will also share Amaibi’s hope for a better tomorrow and be inspired to fight the right battle with the right weapon. On that note, I’ll leave you with Amaibi’s wise counsel:
"We need to change the way we do things. We need to stop fighting the wrong battles. Our people must drop their arms and get off the streets and creeks. The war will not be won there. The war will be won in lecture halls as we expand the minds of our young people.”

Extremely Talented Writer
By Amazon Customer
One of the better novels I have read in a while! In spite of my personal qualms about the ending, one simply cannot deny the story telling abilities of this author, I think he stacks up close to Chimamanda Adiche, who I consider one of the best contemporary authors (who just happens to be Nigerian). The plot revolves around the aftermath of a kidnapping of an oil worker that goes awry, forcing four childhood friends to reunite after parting ways for a number of years. Anyone can plot out a story, but Chimeka Garricks weaves a tale with such superb literary style, it elevates this narrative beyond the confines of what could have been a simple "legal thriller". What he does with one particular chapter, using the voice of the most "popular" character within the world of the novel ( and probably outside of it to) left me stunned. An amazing debut novel for any author, certainly an auspicious start to what I hope is long and fruitful career as a novelist!

One of the best books I have ever read-- and I'm not just saying that!
By BooBooKush
Excellent book. So powerful, so animated and a great plot and storyline. I seriously never wanted the book to end.
This book was randomly recommended to me by a person at a party, and I really think it is one of the books that should really be pushed to the forefront, particularly when speaking of Nigerian and African literature.
I can't say it enough, this was one of the best books I have read in my life!!!
