Breaking Point tells the first-person story of an intrepid Nigerian investigative journalist who is forced to flee his home country and seek political asylum in Ghana, after which he effectively declares war on the corrupt establishment at home. The fury with which he is despised and hunted by this establishment is only matched by his penchant for expanding his ever-increasing list of powerful Nigerian enemies with his uncompromising work. As he finds out to his detriment 5,000 miles away from West Africa in the university town of Oxford, Nigerian kleptocrats have much longer arms than he would ever have given them credit for. Over the course of 3 incident-packed years, his 1-man war on the corrupt underbelly of Africa's largest country sees him juggle multiple high-risk investigations, clandestine border crossings, family drama, death threats, detentions, deportations, safe houses and a close brush with illegal rendition by Nigerian foreign intelligence. Amidst of all this, he also has to navigate the terrifying personal situation of a whirlwind romance and marriage that rapidly turns into a violent nightmare which comes much closer to ending his life than any number of powerful enemies ever managed.
