The Making of a New Nigeria Okorie Ndubuisi Simon

The book, "The Making of a New Nigeria"is a necessary and timely addition to the corpus of literatures available on Nigeria as an energizing force in diverse areas in the world. Part of the uniqueness of the book is in the author's exhortatory style deploying facts at his disposal in galvanizing Nigerian's from all walks of life to be creative, innovative, and original. Indeed Okorie, a young and restless, budding intellectual and patriot, underscores the point that Nigeria may not reach its promised land in good time in its history if the people's mindsets are not changed for the better. He therefore deplores consummation as the base of Nigerian society, even as he articulates clearly the view that creative mindset in the people will greatly propel the nation to a higher height in its exploit among the committee of nations.
