Oily Waters Polycarp Ihejirika

World Meet, the most powerful and wickedest organization ever formed by man, sneezes and the world's socio-economic and political systems go out of sync. Europe coughs and Africa erupts! Greedy multinationals, actively supported by western governments, push the frontiers of exploitation in Africa. While Africa lies prostrate, corporate board chairs in palatial suites in London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris celebrate their latest oil concessions won from military dictators who owe their rise to power to the CIA, MI6, SDGE, and the KGB. The race for control of the world's largest petroleum reserves, the secret deep offshore oil wells and the gigantic oil city in the bowels of the Atlantic Ocean is on. Descendants of two men - one European and the other African thrown together by fate five centuries ago -must do battle and if possible stop the custodians of the World Meet. Interwoven in Oily Waters is the tantalizing tale of the Ibos, the Jews of Africa, their continuing search for identity, betrayals by their neighbors, genocide, and the conspiracies hatched in foreign lands to prevent the emergence of their own nation-state. To succeed they must first conquer another enemy, themselves.
