Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a catastrophe waiting to happen; the death or displacement of millions of people when Nigeria (a country of over 200 million people) collapses. Nigeria is ranked 12th in the 2021 Fragile State Index, more fragile than Haiti (13th), and only a few points less fragile than Afghanistan (9th). An estimated seven kidnappings occur in Nigeria every day and the country is home to the most people living in extreme poverty since 2018. The number of Nigerians living in extreme poverty is said to grow by six people every minute. According to Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate for people aged 25 to 34 years in 2020 was 53.4%. The inflation rate in Nigeria as of March 2021 was 18.1%. All the incendiary ingredients are now in place waiting for a careless spark to ignite what might become the greatest calamity to befall Africa in the 21st century. We know this catastrophe is coming but we choose to ignore it. This book challenges Nigerians to understand the problem with Nigeria and come to a practical solution before it is too late. The author has lived in Nigeria for most of his life and has experienced the vicissitudes of living in a failed state. He has also experienced the benefits of living in other countries where the system works. His unique perspective as a Nigerian immigrant who has lived in other developed countries brings a different dimension to the narrative. His message is that it is time for Nigerians to stop praying for a messiah and take the necessary actions to save the country from imminent collapse.

It is through the rich background of my ancestors that I was given the many gifts and blessings that have enabled me to make my mark on the world. Through the migration by my ancestors from Egypt to the plains of the Niger and Benue Rivers, and the subsequent establishment of Uhe land and later Esan land, I was born with a passion and love for my country of Nigeria, Esan nation and my hometown of Uromi. The innate qualities of economics, religion and politics have been instilled in me by my heritage and have led me to a life of public service, dedication to my country, to my family and most importantly, to God. As an architect, I have dedicated my life to the betterment of my beloved country. As a public official, I have served many administrations in the advancement of Nigeria’s infrastructure and economy, as well as the improvement of regional infrastructure and economy in the West African region, under the aegis of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Download or read book The Nigerian Complex written by Cliff Edogun and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demola Martins and Asuquo Udoh, good friends albeit of contrasting social and spiritual backgrounds, face the harsh realities of life in a country where, despite its bountiful oil reserves, the majority do not have access to a steady supply of water or electricity, employment opportunities for university graduates are severely lacking, and corruption is rampant in a government that appears to deliberately prevent its citizens from being heard. After two years of being jobless, Asuquo inadvertently applies for a doorman's job at the International Airport Hotel, willing to accept the only form of employment available to him despite his degree in chemistry. Demola, an electrical engineer from a family of professional elite, opts to wait for a job more suited to his social rank. Four years later, Demola decides to act on a vision and founds the Campaign Against Rigging Elections (CARE). Asuquo and Demola, along with three other visionaries, form the Crisis Group to head the Campaign, and a youth movement is born. Through peaceful rallying, they push for a more transparent balloting and counting system—the spot ballot method—with the ultimate goal of eliminating election rigging to redeem the “Nigeria that prospers all.”

Download or read book Black White written by Mark Anaki and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black White describes a young man’s pursuit of higher education overseas. A journey that leads him from his homestead in Western Nigeria to the United Kingdom. It chronicles culture conflicts, internal dialogues and personal discoveries. As the title may suggest, Black White is not so much about racial tension but about the contrasts a young man observes as he transitions from one world to another. It is about how his identity is formed, altered and reformed by the socio-cultural currents around him. It is about how his concept of learning and education changes as he leaves one society for the other and how his blackness (an earlier unknown concept) often turned up the most unexpected twists. Black White is a personal story of aspiration, conflict and gradual enlightenment. It is a catalogue of the many dimensions of being a privileged man in a black and white world.

Download or read book Laying the Foundation for Nigeria s Democracy written by Professor Humphrey N. Nwosu and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laying the Foundation for Nigeria’s Democracy: My Account of June 12, 1993 Presidential Election and Its Annulment is a factual, gripping, and compelling insight into the most authentic analysis and explanation of the nation’s political environment under which the June 12 election was held and how the result was tragically annulled, even as it was accurately adjudged as the freest and fairest in the history of the country. The theoretical thrust deals with the crux of the problems that face the task of nation-building in Nigeria which is legitimacy. Prudently, the author examines how the Nigerian leadership tends to attract legitimacy and its acceptance from the generality of Nigerians. He documents the centrifugal and centripetal forces that combined in the various ways to shape as well as influence President Babangida’s transition program. The program is analyzed and compared with the previous transition program, and the process, its special features like its phased nature and its inbuilt learning process are identified. Professor Humphrey Nwosu concludes the book by stating unequivocally that Nigerians found a great deal of opportunity for real and genuine democracy during June 12 presidential election and they grabbed it. The outcome of the election and its annulment had whetted the appetite of both the majority and the minority ethnic groups of Nigeria. There is therefore a burning desire for equality, fairness and freedom for all Nigerians. Suggesting how Nigerians can solve their present political problems, he reiterates that the June 12 presidential election lays a strong foundation for democracy in Nigeria, and also maintains that June 12, 1993 election was indeed the Real Democracy Day in Nigeria while May 29, 1999 was its offshoot. This broad-ranging book of stimulating account is commended to students of political science, political leaders, democrats, all public office-holders as well as independent readers having the interest of Nigeria’s development at heart.

Download or read book The Big Conspiracy written by Folasade Odutola and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation safety is of global concern. This book is about one person's experience as a non-hypocritical safety regulator in a challenging environment. The author has found her amazing career experience interesting to share. The hazards of playing politics and being hypocritical with safety regulation are clearly reflected in this book. From the human angle, it shows the ugly face of office politics and power play and their detrimental effects on those at the receiving end. The rather slow pace of progress in the aviation regulatory entity since the author's ordeal and her subsequent forceful retirement is a lesson in why responsible authorities shouldn't be cutting their noses to spite their faces.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Organizational Change in Africa written by Franca Ovadje and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although change management and therefore effective adaptation to environmental complexity is considered a uniquely human cultural activity, the extensive change management literature is largely based on the experiences of organizations in the advanced economies of the West. As the economies of African countries become increasingly open, African organizations will need to be agile in order to adapt and grow in a dynamic, global environment. Currently, there is a dearth of contextualized knowledge on change management within Africa, but this handbook aims to address this by bringing together a wide range of experts to explore organizational change and change management from an African context. The handbook adopts a multidisciplinary (historical, philosophical, processual, and strategic) perspective as well as empirical accounts of change management. It addresses such issues as: What are the external and internal pressures for change? What is the content and process of change management? What are the essentials of effective change management? How can change management be theorized from an African perspective? What sort of leadership can best align with change management demands in an African context? How do organizations build internal change management capability? It is hoped that answers to these questions contained in the handbook will provide a contextualized understanding of change management which African organizations and scholars can leverage to respond to the threats and opportunities inherent in their increasingly dynamic environment. The handbook should constitute an essential reference for academics, researchers, and advanced students of change management, development studies, and African studies, as well as practitioners.
