What happens when a life is marked by a series of miraculous escapes?... What does it take to outlast war, impact a nation, and shape a university?

Professor Emeritus Mark Anikpo's stunning autobiography tells the captivating story of a man who, with "Spartan fortitude," triumphed over a cascade of life-threatening events... Born in Enugu in 1945, Mark Anikpo's life arcs from teenage promise at the College of Immaculate Conception (C.I.C.) Enugu through the crucible of the Nigerian Civil War-where a bullet to the chest nearly ended everything - to obtaining a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), a Cambridge PhD, a pioneering career at the University of Port Harcourt, to the summit in Academia, Leadership and Service.  His journey is a profound testament to the power of resilience. 

This is more than a memoir; it is a testimony. It is the story of miraculous recoveries that defied medical odds; a journey with cinematic geographical waypoints - Denver, Ahoada, Pyongyang, to name a few; navigating the intricate politics of academia and building a blazing career. This is the gripping true story of Professor Mark Anikpo - soldier, scholar, survivor, activist, and family patriarch - who turned every trial into triumph.

In this unflinching true-life story, the "serial survivor" reflects on leadership, the dignity of labor, and the grace that preserved him - through recovery wards, tense negotiations, and the quiet heroism of family life. Destined to Survive is an unforgettable chronicle of faith and family, an ode to scholarship, the unyielding will of a true serial survivor, and a charge to the next generation to build with courage.
