I thoroughly enjoyed the book, which seemed like a comprehensive course in world history and biblical studies. The sheer volume of fascinating facts and insights was thrilling, and I was particularly surprised by the vast array of languages explored in the book. It was a truly enlightening experience that broadened my knowledge and understanding.

The story is set before my time, so I didn't have any prior knowledge of the events. While I found it interesting to read about, I don't feel compelled to explore it further.

This book actually made me to be interested in the historical facts about Nigeria. I had to research more on the Internet to get more details, but this book is really an eye opener.

Oh Yes. Before now, I don't think I would have been interested in another country's history but the tale of Nigeria as at 1976 made me research a few of the things I had read in the book.

I actually didn’t dive deeper in making an extra research of the historical data in the book because I didn’t see the need to go deeper since I will barely have a thing to do in the country mentioned.
