Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England, but every summer she was dragged back to visit her father in Nigeria a country she viewed as an annoying parallel universe where she had to relinquish all her creature comforts and sense of individuality. After her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was killed there, she didn’t return for several years. Recently, she decided to come to terms with the country her father given his life for. Saro-Wiwa travels from the exuberant chaos of Lagos to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; from the eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the decrepit kitsch of the Transwonderland Amusement Park. She explores Nigerian Christianity, delves into the country’s history of slavery, examines the corrupting effect of oil, and ponders the huge success of Nollywood. She finds the country as exasperating as ever, and frequently despairs at the corruption and inefficiency she encounters. But she also discovers that it si far more beautiful and varied than she had ever imagined, with its captivating thick tropical rainforest and ancient palaces and monuments. Most engagingly of all, she introduces us to the many people she meets, and gives us hilarious insights into the African character, its passion, wit and ingenuity.

Liebe, Mystik und Magie in AfrikaIlona ist 19, als sie während der Olympischen Sommerspiele 1972 in München den Nigerianer John kennen lernt. Sie heiratet ihn in Toronto und bekommt in London zwei Kinder von ihm. Aber sie lebt schon in Scheidung, als sie das erste Mal nach Afrika fliegt. Denn in Lagos soll Ilona einen völlig verunglückten Handel mit Gebrauchtwagen retten. Steht sie anfangs noch unter dem Schutz eines einflussreichen Clanchefs, entzieht ihr dieser bald sein Vertrauen, und sie ist in der fremden Kultur auf sich gestellt. Denn John hat andere Sorgen: Sein Bruder wurde von seiner eigenen Frau angeblich verhext. John versucht mit Hilfe verschiedener Medizinmänner diesen Fluch aufzuheben. Nachdem sie bei ihrem ersten Anlauf in Nigeria gescheitert ist, bleibt Ilona auf einem Berg Schulden sitzen. Um sie zu tilgen, lässt sie sich auf das Angebot ein, in Lagos das Finanzcontrolling bei einem internationalen Konzern zu übernehmen. Und lernt die korrupte Welt der Weißen kennen, die nur aus zwei Gründen in Lagos leben – wegen Geld oder Sex. Oder wegen beidem. Doch Ilona trifft auch einen Mann wieder, den sie nur flüchtig kannte: Victor entstammt einem vermögenden Clan aus dem Nigerdelta. Nach einer Zeit der Unbeschwertheit, in der Ilona an Victors Seite die faszinierende Schönheit Nigerias erleben kann, wird das Paar von der Wirklichkeit eingeholt: Ein Onkel verwendet schwarze Magie, um Victor nach dem Leben zu trachten. Doch Ilona wurde in die Mystik eingeweiht und versucht, diesen Mann mit dessen eigenen Waffen zu schlagen ... Pressestimmen: "Ilona Maria Hilliges erzählt von der spirituellen Kraft der Afrikaner, die die europäischen Reisenden aus dem Korsett ihrer abendländische Moral befreit. Die Welt der Zivilisation ist hier so weit weg wie der Mond von der Erde." Brigitte "Die weiße Hexe is well written and never boring. Once the reader immerses him- or herself into a world that seems 'unreal' at times, Ilona Maria Hilliges' story is one that won't let you go easily. .... Ilona Maria Hilliges' book provides an interesting, exciting read for Europeans and Africans alike. And, although Nigeria is portayed through the eyes of a young white German woman, her account offers a lot of information and insights into Nigerian society and culture - from patriarchal structures to the power of spiritual connection. And despite the fact that Ilona Maria Hilliges lost the one big love in her life, she never lost her love for Africa." The African Courier, Februar/März 2001 "Neue Lebenswege beschreiten, dramatische Momente erleben, große Gefühle auskosten und beherzt Ungewöhnliches wagen. ... Für Ilona Maria Hilliges war Afrika ein Erlebnis, das ihr viel abforderte, aber auch viel zurückgab. ... Eine Geschichte, die das Leben schrieb." Frau im Leben, Februar 2001 "Ilona Maria Hilliges hat ein beachtenswertes Buch geschrieben, geprägt von Liebe und Begeisterung für die afrikanische Kultur, aber auch von der Konfrontation mit den Realitäten des Lebens in Nigeria." Africa live, August/September 2000 "So lebendig und nah geschrieben, dass man das Gebrüll der Affen und Zirpen von Grillen zu hören meint! Ilona Maria Hilliges stellt das Leben in Afrika auf eine harte Probe, hält aber auch viel Schönes bereit." Lea, August 2000 "Ilona Maria Hilliges mischt in Die weiße Hexe selbst Erlebtes mit der spirituellen Seite des Lebens in Lagos und einem Land, dessen Modernität schon hinter ihm zu liegen scheint." Saarbrückener Zeitung, August 2000 "Die Stärke des Buches liegt darin, dass es Hilliges gelingt, die Widersprüche dieses Landes Nigeria anhand konkreter menschlicher Schicksale vor Augen zu führen. ... Der schonungslose Realismus dieser Erinnerungen ist bemerkenswert." TOP Berlin International, 7/2000 „Ilona Maria Hilliges ... bietet einen unterhaltsamen, um viel Verständnis bemühten Einblick in afrikanische Traditionen und deren Hintergründe.“ goethe.de, Website des Goethe-Instituts Author: Ilona Maria Hilliges Kindle Edition: 349 pages Kindle eBook Company: Brainstorm Berlin (2011-08-16) (2011-08-16) List Price: $6.50 Amazon Price: 
Die Mystik einer geheimen Welt am eigenen Leib erfahrenAlles beginnt mit der großen Liebe: Ilona ist Ende Zwanzig, als sie in der nigerianischen Millionenstadt Lagos den blendend aussehenden, gleichaltrigen Victor kennen lernt, der exklusive Hobbys pflegt. Sie verliebt sich in den Traummann. Schon bald ist von Heirat die Rede. Doch Victor ist der Sohn eines mächtigen Clanchefs. Bevor er einer Ehe zustimmen will, verlangt er von Ilona, sich mit den alten Bräuchen des Stammes vertraut zu machen. Ohne zu ahnen, was auf sie zukommen wird, lässt Ilona sich darauf ein. Und entdeckt, dass es sich um einen geheimen Frauenkult handelt. Seit Jahrhundert pflegen die weisen Frauen die Rituale der Liebesgöttin Mammy Water. Nur weil Ilona den künftigen Clanchef heiraten soll, machen sie eine Ausnahme und gewähren der Deutschen einen tiefen Einblick in ihre Welt der Magie und weiblichen Spiritualität. Ilona, die bis dahin als Managerin eines internationalen Konzerns gearbeitet hat, erfährt, was die Gemeinschaft der Afrikanerinnen im Inneren zusammenhält. Aber auch, dass davon eine große Bedrohung ausgeht – nicht nur für ihre Liebe zu Victor, sondern auch für dessen Leben ... „Ein Buch wie ein Abenteuerfilm“ Der Stern zum Erscheinen der Originalausgabe Über den Autor „Das verborgene Herz Afrikas“ erschien als Originalausgabe im Januar 2001 bei Ullstein. Für diese eBook-Ausgabe habe ich den Text durchgesehen und überarbeitet. Das Buch schildert Ereignisse, die meine Einstellung zum Leben grundsätzlich verändert haben. Als ich dieses Buch schrieb, wollte ich einen Einblick in eine Welt bieten, die in dieser Form wohl nicht mehr besteht. Ich bin dankbar, sie noch kennen gelernt zu haben. Ilona Maria Hilliges Ilona Maria Hilliges, Jahrgang 1953, wuchs in der Nähe von München auf. Sie ist Diplom-Betriebswirtin. Nach Aufenthalten in Kanada und Großbritannien arbeitete sie in München und lebte dann – mit kurzen Unterbrechungen – von 1980 bis 1984 in Nigeria. Über die Erfahrungen in dieser Zeit schrieb sie den autobiografischen Bestseller „Die weiße Hexe“, der im Mai 2000 als Originalausgabe bei Ullstein erschien und ebenfalls als eBook erhältlich ist. Der Folgeband „Das verborgene Herz Afrikas“, erstmals 2001 veröffentlicht, schildert jene Zeit im Jahr 1984, in der sie in einen geheimen Frauenbund im Urwald eingeweiht wurde. Als Rowohlt-Taschenbuch und eBook erhältlich sind die beiden historischen Romane „Sterne über Afrika“ und „Ein Kind Afrikas“.

Il trasferimento in Nigeria. Lo scontro con un mondo e una civiltà totalmente diversa da quella europea; ma forse, in fondo, neppure troppo, diverse solo nel loro palesarsi. L’incontro con tante persone di diversa estrazione e diversa esperienza personale; ma forse, in fondo,neppure troppo, tutte accumunate dalle stesse esigenze. La sopravvivenza in una realtà che porta inevitabilmente a confrontarsi con se stessi e con le proprie certezze e convinzioni. Il tutto visto con gli occhi di un occidentale disilluso e privilegiato.

His nineteenth-century cousin, paddled ashore by slaves, twisted the arms of tribal chiefs to sign away their territorial rights in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Sixty years later, his grandfather helped craft Nigeria’s constitution and negotiate its independence, the first of its kind in Africa. Four decades later, Peter Cunliffe-Jones arrived as a journalist in the capital, Lagos, just as military rule ended, to face the country his family had a hand in shaping. Part family memoir, part history, My Nigeria is a piercing look at the colonial legacy of an emerging power in Africa. Marshalling his deep knowledge of the nation's economic, political, and historic forces, Cunliffe-Jones surveys its colonial past and explains why British rule led to collapse at independence. He also takes an unflinching look at the complicated country today, from email hoaxes and political corruption to the vast natural resources that make it one of the most powerful African nations; from life in Lagos’s virtually unknown and exclusive neighborhoods to the violent conflicts between the numerous tribes that make up this populous African nation. As Nigeria celebrates five decades of independence, this is a timely and personal look at a captivating country that has yet to achieve its great potential.

This small book tells you how to make money with the colored gemstones with emphasis on the Nigerian gemstones. Nigeria has some of the finest gemstones in the world but they have been overlooked due to the fact that they have oil. They have been concentrating on the oil and left other minerals for a "rainy day" which is good for the gemstones buyer. This is one of the projects I have written about where you need to get off the couch and go see for yourself and get what you want. It is not a business that need a "Rocket Science" mentality but someone with the will to make some money and enjoy a trip outside of your own world or bubble. The money is there for someone with an imagination and the will to learn some small details about gemstones and a few dollars and you can get a piece of this money pie.

What does it take to follow your dream? Quite a bit, if it means crossing Africa. That’s what a couple discovers when they leave on a seven-month, 16,000-km. overland journey from London to Cape Town, South Africa. Against their better judgment, they join a do-it-yourself safari with a bizarre band of companions. After their dream quickly turns into a nightmare, they set off across the continent alone—and that makes all the difference. Wilson, in a style one reviewer described as “a hybrid of Paul Theroux and Tom Robbins,” takes you onto the crazed roads of Africa and into the hearts and lives of its people. Meet mountain gorillas face-to-face. Melt down during a Saharan breakdown. Hunt dik-dik with Pygmies. Climb Africa’s highest mountain. Hop the “gun-run” through Mozambique's civil war. Rush down thundering Zambezi rapids and dive into South Africa’s cauldron of turmoil. Join us for a raw look at the real Africa—one far removed from the usual postcard perfection. From the Lowell Thomas gold award-winning author of Over the Top & Back Again, Along the Templar Trail, and Yak Butter Blues. Sample Reviews: "Journeys of body and soul in every sense of the word... Interlaced with this honesty and detail are Wilson's beautiful prose, obvious passion for adventure and a deep inquisitiveness about other cultures, making this book a pleasure to read. Highly recommended." ~ Midwest Book Review "A masterful crossroads of characters, exotic places, history and human drama in a rig that never stalls, and allows the devil to drive his own ill-behaved backyard..." ~ Richard Bangs, legendary adventurer, author of "Mystery of the Nile" "Entertaining and a monument to those who would take on the challenge of land travel across one of the most dangerous, unhealthy continents in the world." ~ Heartland Reviews "Honest, gritty and insightful...it makes the world's most exciting continent read just like that." ~ John Heminway, author of "No Man's Land: A Personal Journey into Africa" "I was swept away by the drama and storytelling...Wilson is never a tourist. He travels heart-first with both feet solidly on the ground and his curiosity always in high gear. He is exactly the right person to be writing travel books for the rest of us." ~ Joseph W. Bean, Maui Weekly "Travel writing at its most sublime, a paean to Africa in all her contradictory beauty, and a tribute to the resiliency of those who travel beyond boundaries not only in search of meaning, but also of understanding." ~ C.W. Gortner, author of The Secret Lion and The Last Queen "One of the most engaging travel books we have read." ~ RealTravelAdventures.com "Powerful and gripping story...Fascinating, informative, humorous, poignant, surprising...a terrific read from first page to last-would make a popular addition to any personal or community library Travel section." ~ Midwest Book Review, Travel Shelf Author: Brandon Wilson Kindle Edition: 284 pages Kindle eBook Company: Pilgrim's Tales, Inc.
