Klamidas - "To develop and promote goods and services aimed at creating, communicating & consolidating progressive ideas."                                                                          - Duve Nakolisa

 

Welcome! We heartily welcome you to klamidas.com with this brief note on who we are and what we represent. Klamidas Communications Ltd was founded by Duve Nakolisa in the 1990s. His vision was to build an organisation which would "develop and promote goods and services aimed at creating, communicating and consolidating progressive ideas."  The company began as a small publishing outfit whose publications were mainly in the areas of motivational and literary books. Later, it spread out to publications covering topics such as human rights law and politics, political science, teacher education, business coaching, and biography. Remodelled and expanded in 2004 to meet, especially, the ICT needs of its immediate environment, Klamidas now has the following arms: Klamidas Press (printing), Klamidas Media (book, music and film publishing),and nakolisahost.com (web-hosting and domain names). Others include Excellent Editors (editorial consultancy), Africastand (online marketing of African products), KICT (ICT training) and Beulah (chain of cybercafes).

 

"We tell our story by the lives we've touched"                                                   - Klamidas slogan   HELON HABILA - symbol of Klamidas vision of supporting individuals and structures engaged in "creating, communicating and consolidating progressive ideas." First published by Klamidas in 1993 ("The Embrace of the Snake," Through Laughter and Tears) when he was a student in the University of Jos, Helon Habila has since developed into an international writer. He won the Caine Prize for African Fiction (short story) in 2001 and the Commonwealth Writers Prize (Best First Book, Africa Region) in 2003. His books include Waiting for an Angel, and Measuring Time. Other writers published in that historic anthology amd who later made their mark as writers include Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo (winner of LNG-sponsored Nigeria Prize for Literature) and Wale Okediran (President of Association of Nigerian Writers, ANA).
