My Cry for Nigeria

Beautifully written and powerfully persuasive, My Cry for Nigeria is C.C. Aningo’s heartfelt plea to the people of Nigeria for positive transformation precipitated by enlightenment and unification. In a plausible tale of fiction woven with reality, seven men-symbolizing the three major tribes of Nigeria-come together each week to discuss the global issues and challenges facing their country. They devise a plan to take the plight of the nation to the people in hopes of rallying support for necessary change. The grassroots movement gains momentum as public enthusiasm surges, resulting in threats on the lives of the men behind it all, the formation of a people’s nation conference, and ultimately, a glimpse at what is possible. By turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and thought-provoking, My Cry for Nigeria is both a lament for the past and a beacon of hope for a new and prosperous Nigeria.
