Produktbeschreibung

If you are looking for a mytho-historic resolution to the various Nigerian socio-political and economic problems, this book will serve as a well of knowledge to you as it recognizes the abiku essence of the Nigerian nation. If you are interested in knowing how Nigeria gets to this crossroad of (Abikuness)uncertainty, you need to study this book for it will educate you from the lens of mytho-historic, how and when! Do you know the various mythological factors, like the Aryan Myth and Volk that sustain the Germans during the 2nd World War, which sustain the Nigerian Biafran Civil War? This book identifies those mythological factors and how it sustains the Nigerian/Biafran Civil War. The book is in support of Chimamanda in the Author's Note to Half of A Yellow Sun where she comments on the ugliness of war. In her words, 'agha ajoka' -- 'war is very ugly'--, and if it is so, Nigerians, nay, the world should try their best possible to prevent it. The recent Boko-Haram crises in Nigeria is a case point. It is time to look for a mytho-historic solution.
