Book Description
“The Rising Earth” is a story of two worlds, Umuosisi and Umuocham. At inception, the two worlds were given the same set of circumstances. Each world lived her life based on their understanding, interpretation, and use of natural resources available to her. The people of Umuosisi lived a life that preserved their natural resources, while Umuocham, out of greediness, lived a life that exploited their natural resources. At the end, the descendents of Umuosisi lived a life of happiness without diseases, hunger, violence, injustice, or war. They were reputed singers. On the other hand, the Umuocham people struggled as labourers to improve their life by acquiring various technologies. The more technologies they acquired, the worse their living conditions became. They were ravaged with hunger, unemployment, diseases, wars, rising temperatures, and river dryness. A nongovernmental organization, Green Earth Initiative, emerged in Umuocham to save them from dying. The organization identified the use of fire as the major factor responsible for their woes. They hired Emeka to extinguish fire in Umuocham and reverse the course of the Earth.

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1524595500
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
This book is about some taboos among the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria. They are not the kind of topics for normal open conversations but, rather, are the sort of things whispered between members of a family or among friends. The victims suffer in silence without recourse to the laws of the land. There is often no means of escape for them. Everyone pretends they do not exist. This makes it almost impossible to tackle the exclusion, discrimination, or abuses within the community.
