Destined to Survive: Life of A Serial Survivor
A central highlight of this celebration is the unveiling of Emeritus Professor Mark Anikpo’s autobiography, “Destined to Survive: Life of A Serial Survivor”.
About the Book
This stunning autobiography tells the captivating story of a man who, with “Spartan fortitude” triumphed over a cascade of life-threatening events, from a near-fatal gunshot wound during the Biafra-Nigeria war to debilitating health challenges, to build a blazing academic career and an adorable family.
In his own words, Professor Anikpo writes this book as a testimony, marveling at the “miraculous circumstances” that surrounded his life and the “God’s direct intervention” that kept him alive.
Emeritus Professor Nimi Briggs, in the foreword, calls it “the story of triumph; a tale of success; and indeed, the account of a serial survivor who can be empirically verified… a charming book which could quite easily, be made into a movie”.
