About this listen
“Again, permit me to start here by saying that, what Nigerians, Africans and the world needed now, is the abundance of unharnessed local resources that could catalyze the advancement and transformation of our world,”
In my other precious books on: “ WHAT CAN AFRICA OFFERS TO THE WORLD?” and “ MOVING AFFRICA FORWARD- THE PATHWAY TO THE AFRICA OF OUR DREAM,”I highlighted the abundantly endowed natural, human, minerals, agricultural, renewable energy and Digital technologies that are found in Africa waiting to be harnessed. Here, in this book, let us x-ray the Giant of Africa- Nigeria and her vast potentials and opportunities for greatness and global competitiveness.
Welcome to Nigeria, behold! Her Origin, People, Culture, and Economic Activities of Nigeria
Origin and History
Nigeria, located in West Africa, has a rich and diverse history that dates back thousands of years. The area now known as Nigeria was home to several powerful ancient civilizations, including the Nok culture (known for its advanced terracotta sculptures), the Oyo Empire, the Benin Kingdom, and the Kanem-Bornu Empire.
In the 19th century, British colonial rule unified the different ethnic groups and regions under one administration. On October 1, 1960, Nigeria gained independence, becoming a sovereign nation.
People and Ethnic Diversity
Nigeria is home to over 200 ethnic groups, making it one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. The three largest ethnic groups are:
Hausa-Fulani (predominantly in the north)
Yoruba (mostly in the southwest)
Igbo (primarily in the southeast)
Other significant ethnic groups include the Tiv, Kanuri, Ibibio, Ijaw, and Nupe. Despite their differences, these groups contribute to Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
Culture and Traditions
Nigeria's culture is a blend of ancient traditions and modern influences. Each ethnic group has its unique festivals, attire, music, and cuisine.
Festivals:
The Argungu Fishing Festival, Eyo Festival, Osun-Osogbo Festival, and New Yam Festival are popular cultural celebrations.
Music and Dance:
Nigeria has given the world Afrobeat (pioneered by Fela Kuti), Fuji, Juju, and Highlife music.
Fashion:
Traditional attire includes agbada (for men) and iro & buba (for women), often adorned with colorful patterns and beads.
Food:
Jollof rice, pounded yam, suya, egusi soup, and ofada rice are some of the nation’s delicacies.
Economic Activities
Nigeria has one of the largest economies in Africa, driven by various sectors:
Agriculture:
Producing crops like cassava, yam, cocoa, and palm oil.
Oil and Gas:
Nigeria is a top oil producer, with petroleum accounting for most of its exports.
Manufacturing:
Industries such as textiles, cement, and food processing contribute to the economy.
Technology and Entertainment:
Nigeria’s Nollywood film industry is the second-largest in the world, and its tech startups are gaining international recognition.
Conclusion
Nigeria is a land of immense cultural heritage, economic potential, and resilient people. From its ancient civilizations to its modern industries, Nigeria continues to stand as the "Giant of Africa."
Truly and indeed, with these rich cultural, natural, human, agricultural, minerals and creative endowment, Nigeria cannot remain underdeveloped and backward. Let us therefore take a leap down deep into the ocean of the resources and opportunities abound in Nigeria for local and foreign investments.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,445
Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager—the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,058
There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong . . . unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 162
Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to. Literally. Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty. And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
