Nwokogba's current life began as an eagerly awaited son in a family with multiple mothers and a father who introduced him to African mystical ceremonies as well as Christianity. He explains the spiritual significance of the circumstances of his birth, his training with a brigade of boy soldiers and narrow brushes with death. A dream shortly after his father's death led to his discovery of the money needed for him to attend secondary school.

In the United States to attend college on scholarship, he fell into a persistent depression when he took encounters with racism deeply to heart. Through involvement with mystical organizations that continued the tutelage of his youth, he realized that in a past life he'd been a slave owner and now had to make up for the evils he'd committed.

Working hard on his spiritual development, he desperately wanted a sign that he was changing, which came in an incident where he was held at gunpoint and threatened with death. Asking leave to pray for a moment, he sent a telepathic message to a nearby friend, who came over a few minutes later, rescuing him and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that his studies had borne fruit.

At each twist in his dramatic life story, Nwokogba pauses to explain briefly and clearly the larger meaning of the events he experienced. The combination of narrative and lecture gives "America, Here I Come" a power many times greater than either element would have alone. "Knowledge and experience give one an unshakable confidence in the infinite power of a higher force that faith alone cannot match," writes Nwokogba, which also applies to the impact on the reader of this unusual spiritual memoir.
