    About this ebook

    This is the story of the life of a man who was a force to reckon
    with. He moved past frontiers seen at the time and embraced
    new horizons that has left a truly compelling legacy.
    Udo Akpabio was a man of many parts. A warrior, symbol of the
    indomitable spirit of the Annang people of Nigeria, charismatic leader
    and successful businessman yet finding time to carry out his duties as
    the patriarch of one of the largest and most influential family stock in
    South-South Nigeria.
    Set in the late nineteenth century and through the colonial era, this
    book tells the story of a man who dared where others dread. The dim
    circumstances of his early childhood did not deter his ambition to turn
    around his fortune. Rising above the temptous phase of his early adult
    life, he attained the highest traditional stool of the Annang people.
    He was a bridge between the British and the indigenous people, and
    acting on intriguing insight, Udo Akpabio, steered the affairs of his
    people and was able to strike a delicate balance between age-long
    traditions and westernization.

      Making Peace in a World at War (NI515) was brilliantly done. I was moved and inspired by its accounts of what local people are doing to build peace in the midst of extreme violence and loved its brief introductions to individual peacemakers. I though
