The Journey of an African Child by Stanley Ngwa Pdf

Many people have lost their way, focus, or direction due to unbearable life circumstances. There have been times in my life when I gave up hope and contemplated committing suicide. Sometimes, I barely survived challenges and regained hope to continue with my life journey. Do not let any circumstance define your entire life. Fight back and even if you don't win, others may win because you fought. The heart will be comforted because at least you did something about your predicament. Every fight or competition is not just to win. It is to learn, re-assess and make corrections in order to motivate the heart. The secret of fighting back and taking control of one's life is by understanding the indomitable human spirit, which is in everybody. The human spirit is from God and usually very strong and effective when built on hope. When there is hope, the brain seems to be able to function at a higher capacity with more clarity and there is a chance for better solutions to problems. Hopelessness, on the other hand, brings anger and other emotions to the forefront, which often leads to poor decisions. I have been through enormous challenges and based on my experience, chapter eight of this book is intended to provide words of encouragement and some strategies, which can help you when dealing with difficult life circumstances....

Born and raised in Sierra Leone, author Prince Cumming believes each person has a story, and each person can use their story to make a difference in the lives of others. In Unforgettable Life’s Journey, he shares the details of his own life—from growing up in Africa, to completing his education abroad, and to returning home to try to make a difference. In this memoir, Cummings narrates the details of his life, both the positive and negative.

Through his stories, he chronicles his love for his family, his love for his country, and for his passion for helping others to succeed in life. A story of persistence and determination, Unforgettable Life’s Journey offers insights into one African boy’s upbringing and gives insight into how he overcame challenges to live a fruitful and productive life.

The African Child by Asuzu Agwunobi Pdf

The African Child author tells it as it happened from the harrowing childhood experience to the ups and downs of his adulthood in the African capital cities and the rural typical village. The interesting mix of hard work and faith in Gods Providence makes for an exhilarating reading that challenges African policy makers. The authors critical assessment of the Nigerian crisis in the mid sixties soon after Independence as he places blame on both sides of the conflict depicts the writers sense of impartiality to be encouraged by political leaders particularly in Africa. This book examines thoughtfully the various stages in human development and finds no excuse in the down trodden level of the black man from his native land in Africa to his imposed second home anywhere, particularly in the United States. In the closing chapters the book exposes the hardship, the loss of human dignity and personal exploitation of all black people from the days of the slave trade till today. The book challenges the conscience of world leaders and calls for Reparation for slavery and colonialism. Besides, the author seeks to inculcate the spirit of self respect in all African people maintaining that self respect is the smoothening oil for human dignity while chastising all races of mankind to judge a person not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character, as Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. admonished. This is a must read for all civil rights activists, college young students and world leaders and politicians. Asuzu Agwunobi

Raising an African Child in America: from the Perspective of an Immigrant Nigerian Mom by Marcellina Ndidi Oparaoji Pdf

Like other African-born immigrants, I came to the shores of America from Nigeria, West Africa, some twenty-plus years ago as a young adult, freshly married to my Nigerian immigrant spouse. All we knew was what we learnt from our parents and community, growing up. Except for what we read in books about the outside world, we had no idea what lay ahead surviving in another environment outside our Third World. Our parents had sent us forth to study some more in an environment different from what we were used to, in so many ways. We had to make success of this opportunity that was costing them so much. Immigrant Nigerians coming to America are then faced with questions of how to raise their children. Should their offsprings be raised as Nigerians, Americans or to help them benefit from both worlds, as Nigerian-Americans? Who decides, the parents, the children or the society? What will be the fate of the next generation to come?
