Nigeria faces endemic corruption and significant ethnic tension. Trouble is brewing, and author Arnold Obomanu knows something must be done. In The Survival Mindset, he provides a simple and powerful explanation for many of the contradictions that perplex Nigerians and friends of Nigeria. Using examples from everyday Nigerian life, Obomanu illustrates how significant problems such as corruption, ethnicity, and loss of traditional values derive from the same core problem of a scarcity mentality. He then shows how a systematic strategy can be developed to tackle these issues on a national level. This study digs deep to unearth valuable insights, such as the idea that ethnicity provides social security for the average Nigerian and that corruption is mainly propagated by poor public service delivery. The Survival Mindset tackles significant issues in one of the most complex developing countries globally, demonstrates the method in the madness, and outlines principles useful in understanding and tackling similar problems in other African and developing countries. It empowers readers to reengage in building Nigeria with renewed vigor, clarity, and enthusiasm.

Since independence in 1960, Nigerias successor leaderships and the private sector manifestly failed to dispense good governance and corporate social responsibility. Both sectors, tacitly aided by foreign institutions and corporations have perverted the ends of government and justice. Ergo, in Barbarism to Decadence, Abudu Rasheed Richard Oki offers an encompassing but cursory evaluation of each successor corrupting maladministration, participatory industry roles, and systemic debaucheries, along with the vast derivative adverse impacts on the citizenry. Through research, eyewitness accounts, personal experience, etc., the book presents an assessment of the devastating decades of adventitious...
The participants in the unconventional Paralympics at Bethesda did not compete for medals, but for healing. The unlikely hero, the Paralytic man, represents anyone on a journey who seeks to co-author his destiny against all odds. In From Paralympics to Olympics Glory the author Iniobong Obong discusses how the story of a first-century paralytic in John 5 still speaks to us today. It demonstrates how the hand of God can make a way through seemingly insurmountable difficulties. Obong weaves technology, theology and light-hearted narrative into the story of the paralytic at Bethesda. It shows how travellers on the uncertain, treacherous, and despondent road can be inspired to the path of hope, abundant life, peace, liberty, and prosperity that is in Christ Jesus. The book challenges the modern church to bridge scriptural discourse with contemporary human trials and triumphs - to heighten the current spiritual state of the church.
This is a story of Nigeria, told from the inside. After a successful career in the private sector, Nasir El-Rufai rose to the top ranks of Nigeria's political hierarchy, serving first as the privatization czar at the Bureau for Public Enterprises and then as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja under former President Olesegun Obasanjo. In this tell-all memoir, El-Rufai reflects on a life in public service to Nigeria, the enormous challenges faced by the country, and what can be done while calling on a new generation of leaders to take the country back from the brink of destruction. The shocking revelations disclosed by El-Rufai about the formation of the current leadership and the actions of prominent statesmen make this memoir required reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of power politics in Africa's most populous nation.
