About the Book

The ability to dream or possess positive aspirations is a gift. What is your dream and what more can you become? The Nigerian Dream is the yearning of Nigerians to possess the necessities of life, whatever that means. The Nigerian Dream has evolved over the years. At some point in time, growing up, the Nigerian dream was basically the desire to attain the middle-class level of life. The middle-class level life was characterized by a good college degree, a nice apartment, and a personal or official work car with which I could take my family to the worship place on Sundays, or Fridays, and to the grocery store, cinema, or the games, on Saturdays.
The dream at the time, took for granted the security of life and property, motorable roads, a functional and safe train and air transportation system, and peaceful coexistence amongst the sub-nationalities of Nigeria. The Nigerian dream or the Nigeria of my dream has become elusive for me, and I bet, for most of the over 200 million people living in Nigeria. I, like many other Nigerians had to migrate to other countries to, as they say, seek the greener pastures and to pursue a more functional education opportunity. I migrated to the United States of America, but was that the solution? I ran into the shock of bills (no free lunch) and the continuation of the rat race, from the Nigerian Dream to the American Dream. But did the American society inspire hope for the American Dream versus the Nigerian society and any hope that an honest Nigerian could realize the Nigerian Dream?
This book is a memoir of sorts, with the thoughts of a concerned citizen, and it contains skills for citizen-leadership productive engagement in nation building, specifically for Project Nigeria, and perhaps for any other country in search of its unique identity and a path to national cohesion and development. What America represents may remain a question, but the American dream appears substantially vivid to many people. This may not be true for the numerous African Americans and other minorities thrown into the somewhat elusive dream for equality under the law (same law for every citizen), liberty, and the freedom to have a fair shot at the opportunities (not handouts) to prosper, succeed, and own a business and a home. But what is the Nigerian Dream? Questions, questions, and more questions.
