"It's not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions" - Norman Mailer.Nigerians of interest is a highly readable book which provides a rich and engaging insight into fragments of Nigeria's unforgettable history through the lenses of 5 extraordinary individuals who embarked on bold, sacrificial and patriotic pursuits for their country's development. They risked their lives to advance causes we now take for granted and through their exemplary acts, left legacies which have permeated all facets of society, including politics, religion, education, health and the environment. Their stories crush the narrow and binary narrative that barely affords Nigeria any greatness. This body of knowledge will go a long way in helping to replace shame and detachment with value and pride whilst providing a generation of Nigerians with a powerful tool for nation-building and positive engagement with the country.These individuals are national heroes worthy of praise and whose place in history should never be forgotten.
