From London to Jos is the remarkable story of David Jowitt, a British academic who made Nigeria his home. What began as a teaching post in the 1960s turned into a lifelong journey of discovery—of people, places, and the nuances of a country he would come to love.
With warmth and a keen observation, Jowitt reflects on decades spent in Nigeria’s classrooms and communities, navigating the joys and challenges of life in Delta, Kogi, Kano and Jos. He writes about friendships that shaped him, students who inspired him, and the deep cultural and linguistic diversity that fascinated him. Alongside moments of humour and everyday encounters, he also offers a firsthand account of the country’s political upheavals and social shifts.
More than a memoir, From London to Jos is a meditation on belonging, faith, and the meaning of home. It’s a story of bridges—between Britain and Nigeria, teacher and student, tradition and change—told with honesty and a deep affection for the people and places that defined a life well lived.
