Release Date: 8th March, 2025

Description: No Nigerian Will Make Heaven? Tales From An Aspiring Failed Nation-State is a fearless and unflinching examination of modern Nigeria. Through the sharp, unrelenting gaze of Omuwvie, the book exposes how the nation's foundations have set the stage for its ongoing political, economic, and social crises.

Key Takeaways:

• • Nigeria’s dysfunction is by design, not accident.
    Omuwvie challenges the reader to consider whether the country’s persistent failures stem from mere incompetence or a deeper, intentional system of control and exploitation.

  • A nation cannot thrive when it consumes its own.
    The metaphor of Mother Nigeria as a devourer is a stark reminder that a country that stifles its brightest minds and silences its truth-tellers is doomed to perpetual decline.

  • Breaking free requires confronting the curse.
    If Nigeria’s woes are rooted in its very foundation, then true change demands more than surface-level reforms, it calls for a reckoning with the past and a radical reimagining of the future.
