Author Tom Mbeke-Ekanem's New Book "Beyond The Execution" Encapsulates Nigerian Politics Post-Independence
Recent release "Beyond The Execution" from Page Publishing author Tom Mbeke-Ekanem offers a glimpse into the status of one of the world's largest oil producers.
FONTANA, Calif., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tom Mbeke-Ekanem, PhD, a regulatory engineer with the California Environmental Protection Agency, has completed his new book "Beyond The Execution": a guide for readers both familiar, and unaware, of Nigerian environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa, his execution, and the many continuous struggles facing Nigeria since the middle of the twentieth century.
"The politics of Africa's most populous nation, Nigeria, can only be understood in terms of her over 250 ethnic groups," Dr. Mbeke-Ekanem explained about the inspiration for his book. "The complexities are explained in the circumstances surrounding the deaths of MKO Abiola, a president-elect, and Ken Saro-Wiwa, an accomplished author, a playwright, and environmentalist."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Tom Mbeke-Ekanem's well-researched collection of essays ties together historical events into a cohesive narrative of the turmoil, successes, and failures Nigeria has to contend with.
With a foreword by Francis E. Nyong, PhD from the Division of Social Sciences at Pasadena City College, chapters that range from the birth of identity politics in Nigeria to the current ethnic divisions, and the disparate distribution of wealth across the nation, this book is a detailed chronicle of atrocities committed in the name of money and power by both regional and foreign forces.
In addition to his work as an engineer in the United States, Dr. Tom Mbeke-Ekanem is deeply active in Nigerian state of affairs. He is the founder and president of Ibom Peoples Congress USA Inc., an advocacy group concerned with socioeconomic development of the Akwa Ibom people of Nigeria, through which he was involved in organizing the first televised gubernatorial debate in Akwa Ibom State in September 2006. Dr. Mbeke-Ekanem was also appointed into the Twenty-Sixth Senate District for African Trade and Investment Commission set up by the California State government.
