    About this ebook

    He had grown up, hearing that his father’s ancestral home is “The Giant of Africa” tagged with the emblem of a majestic: Eagle; the bird.
    Sadly for Pete, as a teen and a young adult in England; he had received jibes and taunts from friends and peers, referring the same as: “An Eagle that will not fly” The contrast appeared irreconcilable to him.

    Then he decided to mobilise his talent and skills as an investigative journalist; to navigate the truth and do the fact checks. He did so to rebuff or confirm the divergent assertions in the public domain.
    He had long period, to bring the truth to listeners who were interested to know the root of the problem.

    He confirmed with credible evidence; that the highly populated country, that he could trace his roots, had an incredible “faulty foundation”. He also agreed that the success of any country does not reliably depend on its size or numbers. “The faulty foundation”, expatiated in his Study and Research, was major in the retardation of the growth and meaningful development of the country; despite its size and unsustainable grand name: “The Giant of Africa.”
