In her new book, Nigeria native Toyin Ayeni argues that her homeland is much more than a producer of terrorists or con artists. Hoping to increase awareness of the positive aspects of her West African country, Ayeni contends that the problems associated with Nigeria are global in origin and that global problems require global solutions. A past president of the Chicago chapter of Toastmasters International, Ayeni hold a B.S. in microbiology from the University of Ibadan and an M.S. in information systems management from Loyola University Chicago. Join us for this special event celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Nigeria's independence.
