He had grown up, hearing that his father's ancestral home is "The Giant of Africa" tagged with the emblem of a majestic: Eagle; the bird. Sadly for Pete, as a teen and a young adult in England; he had received jibes and taunts from friends and peers, referring the same as: "An Eagle that will not fly" The contrast appeared irreconcilable to him.

He also agreed that the success of any country does not reliably depend on its size or numbers. "The faulty foundation", expatiated in his Study and Research, was major in the retardation of the growth and meaningful development of the country; despite its size and unsustainable grand name: "The Giant of Africa."
