Read this book (in high school), while growing up in rural Nigeria, and benefited from the story told. Of course, that was in the yesteryears, when Nigeria was full of palpable love, real kindness, and the fear of God.
My prayer is that the Lord has to help us regain the Nigeria of yesteryears that we are about to lose because of greed, hatred, tribalism (nepotism), unnecessary religious conflicts, love for material possession, ubiquitous malicious political insurgency fitted, and steeped in exploitation of the poor and unlooking masses.
