There is a thick connection between history and the future. History has a way of explaining the present and determining the future. There is no way we can keep shying away from our past and still want to get it right. Elder P.O Edem is a creative writer and a brilliant story-teller. His story-telling skills and intuitive writing was brought to the fore in this short journey into our nation’s history. As an elder who has seen much of Nigeria’s chequered history, Elder Edem proffers some useful advice in tackling the nation’s unstable system. In the special feature, Ebere chuks O, a prolific writer examines the liberation struggles experienced so far in the country and the possible way forward. This is the part one of Ebere Chuks’ “Nigeria and the cry for Liberation series”. This book...JOURNEY TO NATIONHOOD is a must-read for all and sundry. I recommend it for youths and elders alike, anyone who truly believes in Nigeria’s bright future, those who foresee a brighter day for the Nigeria nation.
