Elvis Ngu's Why the Underdeveloped Remain Underdeveloped is an inspirational and a developmental book, which sets out to emancipate and reawaken the minds of people and states to the consciousness and cautiousness of issues that withhold their progress. It embodies some bitter truths, mind catching poems, life transforming stories, eye opening historical facts and fantastic ideas which erase ignorance and trigger the thoughts of its readers. Its author believes that the advancement of a person or a society becomes a myth when there is no positive change in the mentality.
