Michael Famokunwa
Author, Thinker, Entrepreneur
Michael Famokunwa is a Nigerian writer, speaker, and the founder of Kajola — a platform dedicated to inspiring national unity through responsibility and action.
His Journey
Michael Famokunwa’s journey is deeply rooted in a lifetime of observing Nigeria’s societal shifts — from classrooms and communities to political cycles and economic waves. Raised with a belief in integrity and shared destiny, he watched as division, corruption, and indifference steadily weakened the social fabric of a promising nation.
But Michael also saw potential — in the resilience of ordinary Nigerians, in the strength of shared values, and in the power of rethinking citizenship. His path led him to write, to reflect, and to build platforms like Kajola — not to complain, but to contribute.
Why “Burning the Wealth of a Nation”?
In Burning the Wealth of a Nation, Michael doesn’t just critique Nigeria’s problems — he asks every citizen a powerful question: Are you building or burning?
The book was born out of frustration — not just with politics, but with passivity. Michael wanted to create something that wakes people up, reframes responsibility, and shows that national healing doesn’t begin in Abuja — it begins at home, in the heart, with mindset.
This book is a call to action. It’s a reflection. And above all, it’s an invitation to every Nigerian to protect and nurture the nation’s wealth — its people, values, and future.
