DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Editors Note: When I started to edit this manuscript I thought it was going to be just a quaint story about a boy growing up in Nigeria. Was I wrong! This story takes you inside the mind of the main character and all of the many struggles that he had. Struggles of just living to eat another day. Struggles of trying to get an education that might matter. And finally struggles that led him into Nigerian political and military world that landed him and others into the midst of terrorist hotbeds and attacks. This is not about the past, this is about what is happening right here and right now! Many people in the world are mildly aware of what is going on in this country. Most are oblivious completely. Listen to Chebe's voice. Listen to his struggle. Let not Chebe's ambition and what he longed to live for be in vain. What is most interesting about this story is that while it brings you many times to tears, that as you observe the changes that Chebe goes and grows through so the changes begin to occur inside of you. You may never look at your life the same way again. Are you ready for the journey?!

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 1): The Journey of a Journalist is the first of an autobiographical trilogy that tells the story of a rustic lad born and raised in the southern tip of the British colony of Ceylon (now independent Sri Lanka) but left his country at the age of 26 on a geographical "conquest" of the world that turned him metaphorically into a global citizen. Starting his professional career as a journalist for the Daily News, Ceylon's premier English-language daily, he became a journalism teacher at the age of 32, when he received a doctorate in mass communication. However, he continued practicing journalism as a free-lancer throughout his teaching career in Malaysia, Australia and the United States. Volume 1 unfolds the transition of the author's life from a village kid to a global journalist and educator. It dramatizes the obstacles he had to overcome, as well as the support he received from his benefactors, in the transition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Thrilling, funny, irresistible and full of suspense, Village Boy is not just a real-life saga of a poverty-stricken boy who overcame incredible obstacles and prevailed against all odds. It is the inimitable and absorbing adventure into the village life in southern Nigeria, especially AkwaCross States. For adults, it is a nostalgia to relish. For the younger generation, this is not just a breezy window to the 60s and 7Os, but the veritable binoculars to trace the footsteps of their parents and grandparents, in the proverbial good old days. And for teachers and students in secondary and tertiary institutions, this is a study in creative writing. Unputdownable.
