The Defect of Disdain: The Business Case for Nigerian Patriotism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798261902294)

TRUE POWER IS FOUND IN THE SOURCE.

To rely on the color of one's skin for dignity is to build on shifting sand. Skin is merely the wrapper; it is biological, and ultimately, perishable. True power is not found on the surface. It is found in the Source.

We have confused Comfort with Leverage. When we abandon the unfinished work of our own soil to seek shelter in another man's civilization, we accept the status of a permanent guest. We may find safety abroad, but we lose the authority that comes from building on our own ground. You cannot inherit a kingdom you are too afraid to occupy.

But the earth remembers.

In The Defect of Disdain, Rafael Fuego Ochuko Ibihwiori presents a steady, business driven case for a new kind of patriotism. This is not a call for blind nationalism. It is a grounding manual for the Stationary Conqueror, the one who understands that you do not need to move to rule.
