Dear reader,
Thank you for coming to
my website. I hope that you find the information you are
looking for. If however, you are unable to locate any of
the information you are looking for, please feel free to
contact us.
You can also contact
me directly and I will do my best to respond to your
inquiry as quickly as I can.
I had fun writing Nri Warriors
of Peace. It was a lot of hard work but, it was fun writing
it. And I learned a lot of things about myself and my native
Igbo culture in the process. I know that you will have fun
reading it and I hope that you learn from it too.
These days in my native
culture back in Nigeria, there is a lot of violence and
‘inhumane’ living. It seems like when people
want something, they expect it right away. Some are not
even willing to work for what they desire. There is no patience,
no empathy, and no restraint. We therefore lack planning,
compassion and grace. This is not the same culture that
I grew up in. It is not the same culture that brought up
strong characters like Cardinal
Francis Arinze, Blessed
Cyprian Tansi, and the world renowned novelist, Professor
Chinua Achebe and many more of their kinds, including
my parents and grand parents. These days, it seems like
the rest of the world questions our humanity! What happened?
I tried to capture the
soul of 'traditional Igbo' culture – what it means
to be Igbo in Nri Warriors of Peace. And as I read it over
and over again, it became apparent that it is not very different
from other none-violent, peaceful and deeply humane cultures
around the world and through history. How did we get from
that to the present situation in Nigerian? What happened?
I am currently writing
a none-fiction spiritual book, ‘Covenant with Earth’.
This is also an inspirational book about 'traditional Igbo'
way of life and humanity. Please stay tuned...
If you have read Nri Warriors
of Peace (or if you read it in the future) and feel that
someone else, perhaps a friend or relative may benefit from
it, I encourage you to share it with them. And if you feel
very strongly about it (favorably or unfavorably), I encourage
you to give us a feedback so that we can do better in the
future. And you can even write a review on Amazon.com
website so that others may benefit from your feedback. Thank
you again for visiting!
Best wishes to you and yours!
