My Odyssey, My Country
Author's Reflection
The author recollects his quest of a better future for himself, his family, and his native country stemming from ideals he obtained from his childhood Western education and conversion to the Christian faith. His hopes were thwarted by Nigeria's political and religious troubles resulting in his exile to America, then seeing his family broken time and again. Though forthrightly recalling these failures, there remain for the author: his faith in God, his love for his family and countrymen, and his hope for the future of both.
Memoirs and Practical Advice
These memoirs include some practical advice for Nigeria that are based on the beginnings of his adopted United States of America. There is needed a Plymouth Rock type of partnership between government and an enterprising community of faith. From pioneering studies developed by the author and his friends, Cephas Tardzer explains how this can begin in Benue State.
Symbolism of the Duffel Bag
The duffel bag pictured on the front cover is worn by the elders of the author's TIV tribe, symbolizing their responsibility for the welfare of the people.
