Casey Christie, the author of Be Your Own Bodyguard, is a police reservist directly involved in fighting crime and he believes that this attitude of defeatism, of inevitably becoming a victim, is completely misguided. “People ...

Emmanuel Iduma never met his uncle, his father’s favourite brother and the man for whom he is named. The elder Emmanuel left home in 1967 to fight in the Biafran War and was not seen again. The war lasted for three years, with young Igbo men volunteering to fight for a breakaway republic in the chaotic wake of British decolonization. Around one hundred thousand others who fought in the war share a fate like Emmanuel’s uncle, though there are no official records of these losses. The tensions that gave rise to the conflict remain live, threatening sometimes to bubble over.

This book is targeted not only at Europeans and other Africans who may be visiting Nigeria for the first time but also to expatriate Nigerians, who may or may not have touched our soil in decades, and who definitely need a refresher course, judging by my own experiences having returned to Lagos to live in 2010. Even though Nigeria is an English-speaking country, previously a British colony, the unofficial accepted language is Pidgin English and as such, the use and translation of simple English words in Pidgin English differ widely and have meanings that would baffle you!

From the Amazon best-selling author of Japan Is Very Wonderful, the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.
