The Los Angeles Times is the country’s biggest metropolitan daily newspaper, with more than 40 million unique latimes.com visitors monthly, a Sunday print readership of 1.6 million, and a combined print and online local weekly viewership of 4.4 million. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Times has been covering Southern California for more than 140 years.
Author Reputation Press once again showcased some of its amazing books in a wide selection of genres in this year’s LATFOB. This book gallery aims to connect readers and authors by exposing it at an event attended by audiences around the globe.
How do you handle yourself when, as a young man, you are thrown into the deep end of the business world?
Not just the business world, but the business world in Nigeria.
The author of this book has put together a fascinating historical memoir of the 19 years he spent in Nigeria as a young British expatriate. Those years took him from a life in a colony to a life in an independent African nation.
Every step he took was a learning experience, from intermingling with his fellow expatriates who came from so many countries and cultures to gradually becoming immersed in the native cultures of Nigeria itself.
Nigeria is a country that, in 50 years, has grown from 70 million Nigerians to over 300 million. One in every five Africans is a Nigerian. Nigerians are not just Nigerians. They are a collection of tribes, each with its own language and culture. An expatriate living and working in Nigeria can choose to live where he feels most comfortable. No one will interfere with his way of life.
The author’s life was like that for the first few years of his stay in Nigeria. His interest became absorbed into the country he was in and, as a consequence, the Nigerians themselves. After all, it is their country.
