Capitalist Nigger

I’m hardly in the targeted demographic group for Chika Onyeani’s Capitalist Nigger – The Road to Success. If I was, I’d be highly upset at the roasting dished out by the author.

The last paragraph of the book places the entire purpose of the book into perspective:

In the process, I am going to make a lot of money, which is the greatest essence of the Capitalist Nigger – making money and creating wealth.

If this truly is a national bestseller as the cover text has one believe, Onyeani has achieved his goal of making money. I doubt whether he has succeeded in his mission, though. Onyeani gets stuck on two things: repetition and quoting himself. A precis of this book would be less than a page long and convey the salient points he is attempting to expound on. One wonders how often he is able to illustrate how much he despises the Japanese and how many more times one needs to hear of the success of George Soros. By chapter 3, I started being quite bored. The numerous spelling mistakes and basic writing style do little to promote his professionalism. I am also doubtful as to whether his readers are able to consider his Day of Atonement theory in a serious light. If you, like me, are intrigued by the rather provocative title, read chapter 1 in the bookstore – then consider whether it’s actually worth purchasing!
