ENDORSEMENT

One challenge we face in Africa is the lack of good social referents. Social referents are people whose behavior or accomplishments set the norm for what people in the society can aspire to. They are thus in the best position to show the way having walked it themselves and we know them more commonly as models. This book is an attempt to fill this void by describing what ordinary people have been able to achieve despite all odds. Here is another reminder that it does not matter where you start in life, you can work hard enough to bring pride to your family, honor to your community, and glory to your country. Nigerians are usually excellent achievers anywhere they go in the world and if these people could do it, you certainly can. Read and be inspired!

Africa has, since time immemorial, almost always looked outside for help to even tackle rather mundane challenges. Until we start looking within, rather than without, for solutions to our challenges, we cannot as a people be liberated from the shackles that hold us back. This book is an attempt at convincing you that Africans, born and bred in Africa, can indeed rule the world in whatever field of human endeavor they so choose. Read on!
