Download or read book Nigeria written by John Campbell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the "Giant of Africa" Nigeria is home to about twenty percent of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa, serves as Africa's largest producer of oil and natural gas, comprises Africa's largest economy, and represents the cultural center of African literature, film, and music. Yet the country is plagued by problems that keep it from realizing its potential as a world power. Boko Haram, a radical Islamist insurrection centered in the northeast of the country, is an ongoing security challenge, as is the continuous unrest in the Niger Delta, the heartland of Nigeria's petroleum wealth. There is also persistent violence associated with land and water use, ethnicity, and religion. In Nigeria: What Everyone Needs to Know®, John Campbell and Matthew Page provide a rich contemporary overview of this crucial African country. Delving into Nigeria's recent history, politics, and culture, this volume tackles essential questions related to widening inequality, the historic 2015 presidential election, the persistent security threat of Boko Haram, rampant government corruption, human rights concerns, and the continual conflicts that arise in a country that is roughly half Christian and half Muslim. With its continent-wide influence in a host of areas, Nigeria's success as a democracy is in the fundamental interest of its African neighbors, the United States, and the international community. This book will provide interested readers with an accessible, one-of-a-kind overview of the country.

Download or read book Nigeria written by John Campbell and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria, the United States’ most important strategic partner in West Africa, is in grave trouble. While Nigerians often claim they are masters of dancing on the brink without falling off, the disastrous administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, the radical Islamic insurrection Boko Haram, and escalating violence in the delta and the north may finally provide the impetus that pushes it into the abyss of state failure. In this thoroughly updated edition, John Campbellexplores Nigeria’s post-colonial history and presents a nuanced explanation of the events and conditions that have carried this complex, dynamic, and very troubled giant to the edge. Central to his analysis are the oil wealth, endemic corruption, and elite competition that have undermined Nigeria’s nascent democratic institutions and alienated an increasingly impoverished population. However, state failure is not inevitable, nor is it in the interest of the United States. Campbell provides concrete new policy options that would not only allow the United States to help Nigeria avoid state failure but also to play a positive role in Nigeria’s political, social, and economic development.
Download or read book Civil Litigation in Nigeria written by Abdullahi, Ibrahim and published by Malthouse Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights in a most condensed form judicial pronouncements by the superior courts of records as they relate to practice and procedures in civil litigation in Nigeria. Judicial pronouncements on civil aspects of the law in Nigeria are on the increase, rendering brief-writing more challenging, if not herculean, in the absence of a resource guide for the citation of authorities and knowing which changes have taken place in the law. For lawyers not to be taken by surprise in courts when issues relating to practice and procedures are raised without notice, makes the need to have a resource book that should serve as a quick guide the more compelling. This book is thus intended to be a reference guide.

Download or read book My Nigeria written by Peter Cunliffe-Jones and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His nineteenth-century cousin, paddled ashore by slaves, twisted the arms of tribal chiefs to sign away their territorial rights in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Sixty years later, his grandfather helped craft Nigeria's constitution and negotiate its independence, the first of its kind in Africa. Four decades later, Peter Cunliffe-Jones arrived as a journalist in the capital, Lagos, just as military rule ended, to face the country his family had a hand in shaping.Part family memoir, part history, My Nigeria is a piercing look at the colonial legacy of an emerging power in Africa. Marshalling his deep knowledge of the nation's economic, political, and historic forces, Cunliffe-Jones surveys its colonial past and explains why British rule led to collapse at independence. He also takes an unflinching look at the complicated country today, from email hoaxes and political corruption to the vast natural resources that make it one of the most powerful African nations; from life in Lagos's virtually unknown and exclusive neighborhoods to the violent conflicts between the numerous tribes that make up this populous African nation. As Nigeria celebrates five decades of independence, this is a timely and personal look at a captivating country that has yet to achieve its great potential.
Download or read book How to Start a Business in Nigeria The Ultimate Guide to Doing Business in Nigeria written by J. S. Afana and published by Sabia. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking of starting a business in Nigeria?This guide will give you information on the country and its economy, the most prominent sectors for investment, how to set up a startup or franchise and a detailed step by step guide on how to register your business (Ministries, requirements, documentation, prices, time frame etc) and set it up successfully. Why Nigeria?Hardy Economy: The economy of Nigeria is relatively stable, even as the rest of the world is experiencing varying levels of recession. Nigeria is one of the top-ranking free market economies in all of Africa. A recent float of the Naira due to global recession makes Nigeria a top candidate for foreign investments to pay off in higher-than-average rates.Population Explosion: Nigeria is a land full of promises. Beyond the economic reasons, a second building block for opportunities and wealth is its high rate of population expansion. Not only are more people being born in Nigeria, its population is largely under the age of 25, with a growing middle class (23% as of 2015). This results in more high-spending consumers and a broader customer base for all businesses.As the people of Nigeria increase, so do the needs of the population as a whole; businesses meeting a specific need and ran with a well thought-out plan are almost guaranteed success in this most populous country in Africa. Untapped Potential: Despite its reputation for being open to businesses and investments, it has a multitude of untapped opportunities for new organizations. Some of these opportunities are in the sectors of Real Estate, Solid Minerals, Tourism, Power/energy, Regulatory Services, Security, Agriculture, Agribusiness, Automotive, ICT, Education and many more. Nigeria is one of the largest countries in Africa, as well as the biggest African economy. It occupies a total geographical area of 923,768 square kilometers, with an estimated population of 197 million in 2018. Today, Nigeria is one of the most attractive markets globally, with a GDP per capita of $2,177.99, in the year 2016 according to the World Bank. This is due to its abundant natural resources, favourable weather and climates, cost-effective workforce (60% youth), strategic location in the West-African region, and high return on investment rate.

Download or read book Primary Healthcare in Nigeria written by Raymond O. Chimezie Frsph and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primary Healthcare in Nigeria: Overview, Challenges, and Prospects is a well-intended effort to explore the current health system in Nigeria in the context of the 21st Century. It provides a historical background to the Nigerian healthcare system, identifies the major challenges, and provides rich information on how to improve the health care system in Nigeria. It brings into focus Nigeria's struggle to improve primary healthcare delivery and how those efforts have not improved the peoples' health in Nigeria. It also explains how the lack of effective primary healthcare delivery system promotes medical tourism and causes loss of national revenue to foreign health care systems. This book clearly identifies basic challenges affecting healthcare delivery such as poor infrastructure, underfunding, lack of research and community involvement, inadequate labor force management and development, lack of true leadership and accountability in public office, poor health promotion and education strategies, and a fragile public-private sector partnership in healthcare delivery. Primary Healthcare in Nigeria draws examples from other countries which have improved their health systems to show that the solutions to Nigeria's healthcare problems rest in the hands of leadership committed to the nation's good and wellness. Primary Healthcare in Nigeria: Overview, Challenges, and Prospects is intended to give public health students a clearer perspective about Nigeria's health system and how it impacts peoples' lifespan, wellness, and national development. It is also a good resource for public health professionals to understand and embrace the global view of public health, and then challenges them to work toward a better healthcare delivery system. This book is organized in chapters and focuses essentially on: The historical origin of Nigeria's healthcare system Meaning of a healthcare system The Concept of Access to Health care Challenges and prospects of the primary he
