What happens when a Nigerian boy dares to dream of becoming a cowboy? In his groundbreaking debut novel, Nigerian Cowboy, Dr. Emmanuel X. Okoro takes readers on a journey that fuses African identity, Western grit, and the timeless pursuit of belonging.

From a small Nigerian village to the sprawling ranches of Texas, Nigerian Cowboy follows Jacob Obi , a dreamer determined to prove that courage knows no borders. Through trials, rivalries, and unexpected friendships, Jacob discovers that being a cowboy is not just about boots and bulls-it's about honor, resilience, and staying true to your roots.

A Story of Identity, Courage, and Redemption

Blending heartfelt humor with cultural authenticity, Dr. Okoro paints a vivid tale of crossing continents, breaking stereotypes, and embracing heritage in unfamiliar soil. At its core, Nigerian Cowboy asks: What does it mean to belong, and how do we carve our identity in a world that says we don't fit?

Dr. Okoro shares:“I am a cowboy-a Nigerian cowboy. And I don't ride just for rodeos. I ride for redemption. You don't need to erase your roots to stand tall in new soil. Sometimes, it's your roots that give you the strength to ride.”
