To define Nigeria is to tell a half-truth. Many have tried, but
most have concluded that it is impossible to capture the true scope
and significance of Africa's most populous nation through words or
images. And yet here, through personal essays from 24 of its
writers, a more accurate picture comes into view: one that details
the realities and contradictions of patriotism, examines the role
of class and privilege in Nigerian society, juxtaposes inherited
tradition with the diasporic experience and explores the power of
storytelling and its intrinsic link to Nigeria's history. Within
these pages, acclaimed and award-winning writers share memories and
experiences of Nigeria that can be found nowhere else, bringing to
the fore a country whose influence can be found everywhere.
Powerful, lyrical and entirely unforgettable, OF THIS OUR COUNTRY
weaves together a living portrait of Nigeria, one that is as
beautiful as it is complex. With essays from: Nels Abbey, Ayo bami
