Killing in God's Name: Killing in God's Name (ePub)

The book 'Killing In God's Name', written by Joseph Ochie, a University of Nigeria-trained Political Scientist tells an interesting story of life in general in Kistan - the most populous black nation on earth; a nation under siege and on the brink of disintegration via terrorist attacks. Honor, integrity, truth and good governance are social vices to the leaders while corruption and bad governance become the virtues.

As expected, the people of Kistan suddenly find themselves in a state of nature. Anybody can take illegally by force, from another, if they have the power and retain as long as they can. Political leaders sponsor terrorism against the helpless and hopeless people of Kistan; the judges of the country are in a bribe-collecting spree to grant freedom to condemned rebel members.

In broad daylight the security agents legally armed and paid to maintain law and order forcefully rob people of their hard-earned money. And just as the Christian preachers down south are fleecing and re-fleecing the flock, the Islamic clerics up north are filling their faithfuls with hate preaching.

The result is chaos.

Nothing is going right for the common people. In a word, every one of the leaders is killing - killing the ordinary people and, paradoxically, that is done in God's name. Emeka Uchechukwu, an ex-convict tells how the above factors partly combine to make him the criminal he is.
