Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you evaluate history? For one person, 'it is most revealing'; for another, 'it is boring'; yet another 'out of fashion'. History is so many things to so many people and so this book tries to make the story of Nigeria's history not only exciting and incisive but also refreshingly hot and spicy. It is not about anything that happened a century ago. It is yesterday in history; a chronology of remarkable events from Independence on October 1, 1960 to the Golden Jubilee Anniversary on October 1, 2010. It is about politics, economic development, social development, conflicts, intrigues etc. You can interview the actors; major and minor, victims and villains. The book is full of truth that history books will be shy to talk about. It is not just about leaders, it is also about ordinary people; what made them cry or laugh, what made them suffer or die. Major speeches of leaders are incorporated to make evaluation and better understanding of our journey through 50 years a most rewarding experience. You can thereafter possibly write Nigeria's history from you own perspective
