Nigeria’s Manifest Destiny

At a time when American citizens were struggling to discover their nation’s national purpose, there arose John L. O’Sullivan, who coined the phrase “Manifest Destiny” and gave America an intangible ideology that created the American nation and history.

That simple phrase inspired the creative energies of Americans and drove the United States of America from the valley of the Great Depression to rise to the mountaintop of economic prosperity, fulfilling their manifest destiny as the leader of the free world.

The phenomenon of national mission drove Singapore from a legacy of divisive colonization, the devastation of the Second World War, general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces, at a time when they were ranked amongst the 3rd world nations to become a first-world nation within a period of 30 years.

The sense of national mission drove China to rise from obscurity and convert their population, which used to be their greatest national challenge, to become their greatest national asset, now ranking as the second leading world economic power.

In his daring presentation of Nigeria’s Manifest Destiny, Vitalis articulated the central mission of the Nigerian nation and laid the philosophical foundation for the fulfilment of Nigeria’s national purpose.

This book, which comes with great philosophical insights, has been acclaimed by the late Professor George Obiozor, Nigeria’s former Ambassador to the USA and the immediate past President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide as“an audacious attempt by a Nigerian author to articulate the central mission of the Nigerian nation in a philosophical narrative .”

It is a must-read for all Nigerian citizens and everyone who is interested in the present and future of Nigeria, Africa, and the entire black race.
