When Boniface Nwugwo left his hometown in Eastern Nigeria in 1980 to study in America, he had only $4600 to his name for his tuition, his faith in God and
an unquenchable thirst to succeed in America. In this revealing, inspiring and compelling memoir, Boniface with uncompromising candor, tells his story of
courage, insurmountable struggles, and triumphs that he and many West African immigrants faced before and after coming to America demonstrating that you
can reach your dreams if you persevere.
From modest beginnings as the son of a teacher in his native Imo State of Nigeria, Boniface Nwugwo overcame poverty to distinguish himself as a brilliant
academic and achieve a respectable career in the information technology industry.
Through his story and the sample stories of other West African immigrants, America's promise as land of immigrants with infinite possibilities are
rekindled in this self-revealing and self-fulfilling book. |
