    About this ebook

    The Divide is a fictional retelling of serial chains of events in Nigeria’s political history.
    Following the sudden, and recurring deaths of sitting presidents of northern extraction, deeply rooted tribal and religious tensions start to boil over to the surface, causing a series of catastrophic ripples.
    Ripples that threaten to divide.
    The narrative follows one man’s goal to uncover well-hidden conspiracies, that could crack the paper thin togetherness of a moribund amalgamation, a race to secure the future of a nation that no longer wanted to be united.

"Dauda Wura", grew up experiencing the tumultuous attempts by a fledgling nation to find her feet, experienced the harsh realities of an uncivil war, that more than destroyed the very fabric of the young nation's togetherness. Now a grown man, he finds that the very things that have prevented cohesion and togetherness of the nation of his birth, still stands out glaringly, and have further negatively impacted the lives of everyone living in this ununited nation. Writing the "The Divide" is an attempt to contribute to the national discuss, that has left every well meaning Nigerian, confused, perplexed and disillusioned.
