A review of U.S. Elvis’ book, The Hidden and Ignored Truth about Nigeria, by Sam Nwaoko.
That Nigeria needs a lot of things, chief among which are cleansing, regeneration, resetting and rebirth cannot be stressed enough. For many years, this conviction has been the force behind the perennial call by Ujeh Samuel Elvis that the name, ‘Nigeria’ must be changed for the country to begin a true journey of growth and development. And, as a cleric (a former full time pastor with The Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG) and Bible teacher, he hinged his conviction on the charge in the Book of Isaiah 30:18, which commands thus: “Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.”
