Cover of Chika Unigwe: AMAECHINA EB (ePUB)

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.Yet here, through personal essays from 24 of its writers, a more accurate picture comes into view, and in her essay, Chika Unigwe uses significant memories from her life to create a picture of life in Nigeria as it was, and as she hopes it could be.Powerful, lyrical and entirely unforgettable, the essays from OF THIS OUR COUNTRY weave together a living portrait of Nigeria, one that is as beautiful as it is complex.
