THE RIVERS FRONTIER is a historic work on the Rivers State indigenes
of Nigeria's Eastern Niger Delta. It encapsulates their journey from the
earliest records to the present. This book details their early
encounters with Europeans; views on their settlements, languages, and
culture; their kings and leaders of the pre-colonial, colonial,
post-colonial, and modern era, as well as highlights from these periods.
Through the centuries, the land of the Eastern Niger Delta has remained
an economic jewel. Each succeeding global economic demand has been
matched with more than proportionate availability. The Rivers Frontier
is a history book with a modern twist, that would enable its readers
connect with the past, acknowledge the sacrifices and heroic deeds
previously made, and stir a contemplation of the future, with the
understanding that the world we have today is ours to preserve for those
yet to come.
