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: 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.

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.

Book excerpt: The book evaluates the unrelenting waves of ethno-religious and political conflicts with regards to the danger posed to the emerging democratic process in Nigeria by exploring the prevalence of ethno-religious conflicts in Nigeria as an upshot of predisposed confliction of colonialism, heightened by military authoritarianism and consolidated by the contradictions entrenched in the Nigerian federalism. It is against the ambience of extreme ethnic agitations and hostilities in the recent times, that the initiative of this book is predicated on spotlighting conflicts in Nigeria and Africa by extension whilst accentuating the escalation of violence amid implication for national security and the countrys corporate existence.

The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her “louding voice” and speak up for herself, The Girl with the Louding Voice is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself – and help other girls like her do the same. Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on The Today Show) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams…and maybe even change the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wasting a dream is like wasting a life, and a life without a dream is a hopeless one. We don't dream to attract attention or recognition; to be applauded by families and well-wishers. We do dream because our lives are dependent on it. 'Real dreamers' never quit, even when it seems like giving up. They are aware of the fact that the dreams they possess are tried and tested. They comprehend that without the hurdles, these dreams fail to survive the test of time. No man prays for his dreams to be opposed; but the fact still remains: It's inevitable. 'Literal dreamers' only imagine and assume. They paint the maginified pictures of their lives but never strive to make them happen. ‘Real dreamers’ never deal with assumptions; they believe and act. One thing is to dream, and another, to act on it to make it a reality. It's biblically written that faith without work is dead. A dream without an effort hits the rock. So therefore, keep your aspirations alive with the right nutrients. As long as you can breath, your 'dreams' can breathe also. «Living Beyond Your Dream World» is a book which will energize your body, soul and spirit to be part of the 'Dream Census'; thus, making the dream alive. DIG DEEPER! DREAM BIGGER!! IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE!!!

Book excerpt: The dynamic nature of Christianity has necessitated its movement from the cathedral to the mountain top. This has occasioned a proliferation of Prayer Mountains throughout Africa. In Yorubaland of southwestern Nigeria, Prayer Mountain is known as Ori-Oke. Like many communities in Africa, the Yoruba are confronted with fundamental challenges in life for which people do not rest until they find solutions. Within the praxis of Nigerian Christian lexicon Ori-Oke is synonymous with the enactment of a sacred space on a mountain top characterised by various prayer regimes, rituals, exorcism and religious practices, aimed at eliciting the help of the divine to alleviate the existential challenges of devotees. This book explores the resacralisation of space on the mountains, highlighting how humans and the divine interact in Yorubaland. It brings into conversation 35 empirically rich scholarly essays on the role of Ori-Oke to those seeking divine intervention in their lives. Today, Ori-Oke have become centres of pilgrimage as a result of the lived experiences of devotees, creating unique religious value quite distinct from the aesthetic value of these mountain tops. The spirituality of Ori-Oke is anchored on the absolute belief in God and the infusion of traditional African worldview sensibilities in religious rites and worship. Ori-Oke spirituality employs resources of Christian tradition, introduced by the formal agents of Christianity, synthesised with traditional culture, to develop a life based on the precepts of an African Christianity. The book is an intellectual discourse on Ori-Oke spirituality, reflecting its contemporary relevance in a context of religious innovation and competition.

Th e Next set of Hand Books provide the Guidelines to help Youths struggling to free themselves from the enemy’s criminal and other sinful lives and Community Members ravaged by political and social crises Th e fi nal set of Hand Books focus on Catholic Church Homilies and Guidelines for the K of XM warriors to help Nations struggling to promote Good Secular Governance that accommodates every religious group WARFRONT ON SECULAR GOVERNANCE The Author’s audacity becomes more vivid as he moves forward to tackle the tough issues of Satan’s wars that lead to Bad Governance especially in developing countries like Nigeria and its attacks on Religious Freedom in the advanced countries like the U.S.A. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since independence in 1960, Nigeria’s successor leaderships and the private sector manifestly failed to dispense good governance and corporate social responsibility. Both sectors, tacitly aided by foreign institutions and corporations have perverted the ends of government and justice. Ergo, in Barbarism to Decadence, Abudu Rasheed “Richard” Oki offers an encompassing but cursory evaluation of each successor corrupting maladministration, participatory industry roles, and systemic debaucheries, along with the vast derivative adverse impacts on the citizenry. Through research, eyewitness accounts, personal experience, etc., the book presents an assessment of the devastating decades of adventitious effects of otherworldly corruption on the nation, and a look at the overall septic effects of the vice on the rest of other black African nations. Ab initio, it delves in on characteristic fractious leaderships; past immiserating military decades; compromised judiciary/law enforcement; fraudulent elections; decrepit power supply and infrastructure; human health and educational fetidness, duplicitous and complicit local and international media; natural resource curse and colossal environmental pollution; modern-day religious chicanery and radicalized Islamic terrorism; elites’ otherworldly and authoritative brigandage; and ever-present suffocating misfeasance and malfeasance in the private sector. There are also the overall, undermining roles from overseas nations, institutions, and corporations; and, sui generis, China’s hegemonic role. These are part of vast interrelated factors that hermetically immure and immolate her lumpen masses in the bonds of anomie. That correlative societal demise is portrayed in marasmus and spectral looks, along with mass spiritual and mental atrophies. Yet her affluent minority and foreign expropriation of its raw wealth and assets remain at exhilarating boil. The grim hard facts and figures indicate that Nigeria absolutely needs to be set on the right path for the long-term needs of her marred population. Meanwhile, the masses intrinsically remain restive with brutish thoughts, here and there. To wit, the crystallization of that armed mass revolutionary mettle should never be discounted in her future. So, the book provides crosscurrents, and propounds on ways to sustainably adjust her venal course mainstream. Pithily, it seeks to provide a clarion call to jettison present, and block future, serially rogue leaderships for the summum bonum.

It is firstly a historical and political assessment of the nature and impact of governance during this period on the social, economic, and spiritual fortunes of the Nigerian peoples. Secondly, it is a whisper, a prayer, and a clarion call for the peoples of Nigeria in particular and Africa in general to reach for something higher than themselves, a set of higher values, forming the basis for good governance, improved service delivery, and civic responsibility at all levels, and creating a more stable political foundation for proper democratization.

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
