In the past Nigeria was known as the giant of Africa because of the country's great potential in natural and human resources.

In the past Nigeria was known as the giant of Africa because of the country's great potential in natural and human resources. But the discovery of oil in 1956 and the subsequent boom in the early 1970's has turned out to be more of a curse than a blessing to the people of Nigeria. Another one of Nigeria's problems is the social situation and it left me wondering why the British colonial government would bring the different protectorates together in 1914 without any concern for their social and cultural backgrounds especially between the north and south. This lack of concern had played a major role in causing unnecessary confusion and dissension between the two regions. After witnessing Nigeria's problems for more than fourteen years, it left me with a strong urge to write about their situation in a constructive way. My journey touched on various levels of the Nigerian society and I would like to share these experiences with you in IT'S TIME NIGERIA.
Autorenporträt
He was less than a year when his parents left the northern rural town of Richwood, Louisiana in search of better employment and living conditions in 1944. Their search led them to Alameda, California an Island city in the Bay Area. Like the majority of African American families, their family was held together with love, faith, determination, and a desire to make the best of any given situation. From this life style he developed a character of goodwill from his mother and the strength of his father to support this goodwill. Even though he was brought up in a Christian home, he was more into the present than the hereafter. He went on to say, "I try as much as possible to be neutral when it comes to religion and just about everything else in life. The way I see it, everybody is trying to get through life the best way they know how, and the very least we can do as members of the society is to respect their beliefs or dis-beliefs as long as it does not affect the society in a negative way!
