I understand like the President would say, I feel your pains that the economic recession is affecting every aspects of our lives. But it is also important and uplifting to know that the only way to come out of every situation is to seek uncommon knowledge. The information needed to be ahead of recession can be gotten from reading books.

This Independence, out of your free time, I recommend you find time to read these books. They are very important to Nigeria and its peoples history. In these books, you will learn how to be a better thinker, fighter and leader.



EMEKA BY FREDERICK FORSYTH

Forsyth’s view of Emeka’s role in the Biafran war is an important read for the Bookrepublican that seeks an unreserved perspective on the Nigerian Civil war.

Emeka is the dramatic, powerful and moving life-story of Chukuwuemaka Odumegwu Ojukwu. It tells the story of a rebel, general, head of state, governor and Igbo leader. This book should be read by every Nigerian that wants to know more about the politics and intrigues that came with the 1960s Biafran war. Interestingly, the Buhari led Federal Government has just reincorporated History into Nigerian school curriculum; I will ask that this book be listed as one of the study texts for our secondary school history students.
