Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His nineteenth-century cousin, paddled ashore by slaves, twisted the arms of tribal chiefs to sign away their territorial rights in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Sixty years later, his grandfather helped craft Nigeria's constitution and negotiate its independence, the first of its kind in Africa. Four decades later, Peter Cunliffe-Jones arrived as a journalist in the capital, Lagos, just as military rule ended, to face the country his family had a hand in shaping.Part family memoir, part history, My Nigeria is a piercing look at the colonial legacy of an emerging power in Africa. Marshalling his deep knowledge of the nation's economic, political, and historic forces, Cunliffe-Jones surveys its colonial past and explains why British rule led to collapse at independence. He also takes an unflinching look at the complicated country today, from email hoaxes and political corruption to the vast natural resources that make it one of the most powerful African nations; from life in Lagos's virtually unknown and exclusive neighborhoods to the violent conflicts between the numerous tribes that make up this populous African nation. As Nigeria celebrates five decades of independence, this is a timely and personal look at a captivating country that has yet to achieve its great potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nigerian nation is, undoubtedly, a richly blessed nation which reflects unimaginable squalor and deals consistently with self-imposed entanglements that have become walk-overs for much smaller nations. From our amalgamation in 1914, we've been on a journey together as a nation for well over a hundred years and 2020 is the sixtieth anniversary of our independence from the Britons. Today, in 2020, we are still dealing with teething problems of toddler-nations because some people at the helm of affairs only groomed their teeth and not their brains or any other capacity required to build a nation. That's why we are still dreaming for a desired nation after sixty years of independence. This book is about the hope and aspiration of a passionate Nigerian regarding the nation he would like to hand over to his children while hoping that his children will not be having the same dream but experiencing the realities of these dreams. The author hopes to see a new Nigeria in his lifetime which is clearly the responsibility of both citizens and the few in government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One could say the fall to this despicable level was fairly predictable many years before now, particularly if we consider the voracious and systematic culture of corruption that the Nigerian state adopted. The mono-economy that we lazily but gleefully practiced has cast us in the role of a failing state without a blueprint for her own survival, let alone a coherent economic policy. Could it be that no one saw this danger? No one made a patriotic call to warn of the impact to the generation now and the generations to come? Do we even have statesmen?

Book excerpt: At the age of 19, Ike Udeh made the difficult decision to travel thousands of miles from his hometown of Enugu, Nigeria, to the United States of America in pursuit of a better life and more opportunity for his family. As a young Nigerian national team soccer player, he was presented with a tough choice: immediate wealth and stardom on a professional European team or a scholarship to play for Alabama A&M University while getting his education. He chose America and an education. Along the way, he was also able to play in major league soccer in the USA. Ike was met regularly with cultures shocks and the challenges entailed in being an immigrant college student and athlete in northern Alabama. He dealt with the pain and disappointment of being away from the home and culture he knew, as well as multiple heartbreaks, but eventually he found lasting love and a worldwide family.

Dr. Wale Olufunmi, lunar rock geologist, has a life most Nigerian immigrants would kill for, but then most Nigerians aren't Wale--a great scientific mind in exile with galactic ambitions.

Book excerpt: We all wonder if we would do the right thing if called upon … even if it meant risking our own lives and sense of self. In The Bone Bridge: A Brother’s Story, author Yarrott Benz is forced to deal with extraordinary self-sacrifice. This is the harrowing account of teenage brothers, as different as night and day, trapped together in a dramatic medical dilemma—a modern miracle and a modern nightmare. The only case like it in history, the true story unfolds over thirteen years as the two brothers navigate through their enmeshed lives with all that they feel for each other: hatred and love, rejection and acceptance, disdain and respect. Despite painful and violent conflicts, Yarrott must bear the full responsibility of keeping his brother alive. In our world of the individual, where careerism, ego, and personal gain are key, The Bone Bridge describes a vastly different human situation. It is a beautifully crafted, affecting story, honest and raw, and also one in which the reader invariably asks, What would I have done?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to dream or possess positive aspirations is a gift. What is your dream and what more can you become? The Nigerian Dream is the yearning of Nigerians to possess the necessities of life, whatever that means. The Nigerian Dream has evolved over the years. At some point in time, growing up, the Nigerian dream was basically the desire to attain the middle-class level of life. The middle-class level life was characterized by a good college degree, a nice apartment, and a personal or official work car with which I could take my family to the worship place on Sundays, or Fridays, and to the grocery store, cinema, or the games, on Saturdays. The dream at the time, took for granted the security of life and property, motorable roads, a functional and safe train and air transportation system, and peaceful coexistence amongst the sub-nationalities of Nigeria. The Nigerian dream or the Nigeria of my dream has become elusive for me, and I bet, for most of the over 200 million people living in Nigeria. I, like many other Nigerians had to migrate to other countries to, as they say, seek the greener pastures and to pursue a more functional education opportunity. I migrated to the United States of America, but was that the solution? I ran into the shock of bills (no free lunch) and the continuation of the rat race, from the Nigerian Dream to the American Dream. But did the American society inspire hope for the American Dream versus the Nigerian society and any hope that an honest Nigerian could realize the Nigerian Dream? This book is a memoir of sorts, with the thoughts of a concerned citizen, and it contains skills for citizen-leadership productive engagement in nation building, specifically for Project Nigeria, and perhaps for any other country in search of its unique identity and a path to national cohesion and development. What America represents may remain a question, but the American dream appears substantially vivid to many people. This may not be true for the numerous African Americans and other minorities thrown into the somewhat elusive dream for equality under the law (same law for every citizen), liberty, and the freedom to have a fair shot at the opportunities (not handouts) to prosper, succeed, and own a business and a home. But what is the Nigerian Dream? Questions, questions, and more questions.

Book excerpt: An Oprah's Book Club selection: this "electrifying" book (Washington Post) pays tribute to the wisdom and resilience of children even in the face of the most agonizing circumstances. Uwem Akpan's stunning stories humanize the perils of poverty and violence so piercingly that few readers will feel they've ever encountered Africa so immediately. The eight-year-old narrator of "An Ex-Mas Feast" needs only enough money to buy books and pay fees in order to attend school. Even when his twelve-year-old sister takes to the streets to raise these meager funds, his dream can't be granted. Food comes first. His family lives in a street shanty in Nairobi, Kenya, but their way of both loving and taking advantage of each other strikes a universal chord. In the second of his stories published in a New Yorker special fiction issue, Akpan takes us far beyond what we thought we knew about the tribal conflict in Rwanda. The story is told by a young girl, who, with her little brother, witnesses the worst possible scenario between parents. They are asked to do the previously unimaginable in order to protect their children. This singular collection will also take the reader inside Nigeria, Benin, and Ethiopia, revealing in beautiful prose the harsh consequences for children of life in Africa. Akpan's voice is a literary miracle, rendering lives of almost unimaginable deprivation and terror into stories that are nothing short of transcendent. One of the best books of the year: Wall Street Journal, People, Bloomberg News, Christian Science Monitor, Washington Post Book World, and Entertainment Weekly

He dares to take up such controversial subjects as public corruption in developing nations, terrorism, civil wars and revolutions in the Muslim world as well as Same Sex, Divorce and Abortion conflicts that are tearing apart the traditional Christian cultures in the advanced nations of Europe and North America. Finally, he illustrates these challenges by providing his Report and Observations on his recent visit to Nigeria to launch his Books and Mission. He concludes Book 7 with his views on the Ideals of Good Secular Governance built on the foundation Pillars provided by Christ through His Church. In the Author’s view, this Book 6, is indeed a must-Read for all concerned with the declining state of Global Peace and those eager to explore how promoting the New Evangelization can help reduce family and national conflicts and advance modern civilization by promoting global Peace, Good Governance, Justice and Religious Freedom.
