No Nigerian Will Make Heaven? Tales From An Aspiring Failed Nation-State.

No Nigerian Will Make Heaven? Tales From An Aspiring Failed Nation State is a scathing exploration of contemporary Nigeria, told through a keen and observant eye, where Omuwvie connects the nation’s origins to its current socio-political and economic crises.

Assuming the mantle of “the observer,” Omuwvie embarks on a quest to dissect the deeply rooted issues that have plagued Nigeria since its creation. He employs the metaphorical image of “Mother Nigeria,” who devours her own children—a poignant representation of the country’s self-destructive tendencies—to pose the question:

“Dear Mother Nigeria,  

Why dost thou feed on thine own seeds?”

Omuwvie argues that Nigeria suffers from a “curse,” manifesting as a persistent pattern of exploitation, corruption, and underdevelopment despite its abundant natural and human resources. He traces the roots of this curse back to the nation’s inception.

Through two major theories—Acute Social Fission (ASF) and Political Repression—Omuwvie invites readers into a courtroom where Nigeria is on trial. He uses this powerful, subtle, and often humorous framework to expose the nation’s flaws, from its creation and amalgamation to the recent 2023 general elections.

“The observer” draws from Omuwvie’s personal experiences as a creative and curious individual, seeking answers hidden within the cracks of history and the formation of Mother Nigeria. With a blend of classic and contemporary quotes, the observer deepens his quest for answers and accountability.
