The Hard Road to the Promised Land (Paperback)

In the twilight of the 1960s, in the genocide-tainted war of attrition in Nigeria orchestrated by the country's poor foundation, six orphaned boys were rescued and nurtured in different places. They were all told by their different mentors that their purpose in life was to restructure the poor foundation of their country that fated them as orphans. Twenty years later, Promise Pierre, the orphan brought up in France, set out to accomplish the vow he made to his mentor and surrogate father, Reverend Mosen Pierre, before he died. He did not know how daunting the task would be. Relocating back to his native Nigeria to fulfill his vow, a twist of fate brought him in contact with the rest of the orphans, who like him, desire to accomplish the same vow they made to their mentors. Backed by Mossad agents, the six orphaned boys - Promise Pierre, Levy David, Olmert Marthins, Bibi Barrak, Musa Aliu and Ehud Biran - commence a vicious campaign to restructure the floundering foundation that left this immensely rich and most populous black nation in the nadir of underdevelopment. They unknowingly are up against the human dinosaurs of Nigeria, "the rich and powerful," who profit from the poor foundation of the country and are bent on ensuring the status quo remains unchanged. Murder, assassinations, destruction, oppression, and repression become part of the game in this epic battle to restructure the country and herald a new dawn that would hoist Nigeria onto the pedestal to the Promised Land.
