Nigeria's Struggle for Nationhood: A Poetic Panegyric

By Albert G. P. Omotayo MFR

Amb. Omotayo in this book tells the story of Nigeria in a novel way, using a poetic style to narrate the bitter, yet sweet, story of Nigeria's efforts to attain nationhood.

The book carries a subtle appeal to us, particularly our leaders, to reconnect with our past, so that we can understand the present and find meaning in what we are currently doing. History is positive, in that it reveals the landmarks and inspires us to do better for a yet better and greater future. Present problems are therefore to be seen, as seeds that should bring a good harvest and not, as the end of the road.

This book, in evocative verses, typical of a panegyric, reveals the heroism of both Nigeria and 'Biafra' in the immense sacrificial contribution of all the sides in the Nigerian Civil War - the Federal Military Government, the Igbo, The North, the Nigerian people and the military on both sides - to the peace effort and to the ultimate struggle for nationhood.

This makes Nigeria the only country under the sun, worthy of calling a home and Nigerians, the best people on earth
