To Gain An Indepth Knowledge Of Nigeria, What Books Should I Read?? by Nobody: 1:26pm On Nov 05, 2016 |
I used to think I knew my country -- poor me -- but not anymore. I have come to the realization that I am not as informed about my country as much as I thought. I want to have an in-depth knowledge of Nigeria's people, her history, events that have shaped us into who we are as a country in this present age. I want to be able to know important dates, important people, our system of governance, marriage, lifestlyle, art and everything in-between. What books about Nigeria shaped your perception of this country the most? Which authors should I look out for? Do you have any practical tips that you can give me on this subject? Please feel free to contribute. Every suggestion is most welcome. Thank you! |

WriteBoy: One book I read that shaped my perception is There was a country by Chinua Achebe. I'm still looking for other books about Nigerian history to read though. |

There was a country is very good as an history book for Nigeria but not indepth to cover every regions of the country. It focus more on South-east. I love the way writing and stories flow together. For a first reader, Imagine the book from the author's life and it seems highly original. |
