Book excerpt: Nigeria is one of the most important democracies in the world, but scarcely examined. 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 volume provides interested readers with an accessible overview of essential questions related to widening inequality stemming from Nigeria's oil wealth, Nigeria's historic 2015presidential election, the persistent security threat of Boko Haram, Nigeria's subpar human rights and corruption records, and the continual conflicts that arise in a country that is demographically half Christian and half Muslim.

Download or read book Naked Truths about Nigeria written by Anthony Oseiweniwe Iduh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may or may not be a Nigerian or someone of Nigerian descent but you probably have met a Nigerian - in school, in your neighbourhood or at work. They seem to be everywhere all around the world; even in Alaska or in Mumbai. In fact, for some years now, Nigeria and her people has been more of an enigma than anything else for many people around the globe. But, this highly revealing book, Naked Truths about Nigeria contains enough details to enable the reader discover all he or she needs to know about Africa's most populous country, what makes her people tick and the reasons behind her failure to achieve greatness despite all her endowments.Inside you'll get to know about the major socio-political and the economic issues affecting the country, the author's views about them and what he suggests as possible solutions.Except: "These 'Big men' habitually jump in front of queues in public places such as banks, petrol filling stations, cinemas, night clubs and airports without the least bit of respect for their compatriots. Most would refuse to submit themselves to body searches or luggage examination which others go through and could even resort to physically abusing an attendant who insists on doing their job. Their disrespect for their fellow countrymen sometimes borders on disdain." Each of the chapters is devoted to discussing a particular problem in great detail and concludes with some suggestions.The author, Anthony O. Iduh is a full blooded Nigerian by parentage who spent his early years in Ghana. He came home to Nigeria during the oil boom era of the late 1970's when life was easy - he got his first job ever as a low level civil servant immediately after secondary school. He and most of his contemporaries then held high hopes about a better future for their country. He then left for over a decade for further studies in Canada and also lived in the United States but came back to meet a totally different country which had deteriorated in almost every respect.

Download or read book There Was a Country written by Chinua Achebe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the legendary author of Things Fall Apart—a long-awaited memoir of coming of age in a fragile new nation, and its destruction in a tragic civil war For more than forty years, Chinua Achebe maintained a considered silence on the events of the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967–1970, addressing them only obliquely through his poetry. Decades in the making, There Was a Country is a towering account of one of modern Africa’s most disastrous events, from a writer whose words and courage left an enduring stamp on world literature. A marriage of history and memoir, vivid firsthand observation and decades of research and reflection, There Was a Country is a work whose wisdom and compassion remind us of Chinua Achebe’s place as one of the great literary and moral voices of our age.
Download or read book A History of Nigeria written by Toyin Falola and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-24 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the world's eighth largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant official corruption and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to Nigeria's recent troubles through an exploration of its pre-colonial and colonial past, and its journey from independence to statehood. By examining key themes such as colonialism, religion, slavery, nationalism and the economy, the authors show how Nigeria's history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential.

Download or read book The Rise of China and India in Africa written by Fantu Cheru and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, China and India have become the most important economic partners of Africa and their footprints are growing by leaps and bounds, transforming Africa's international relations in a dramatic way. Although the overall impact of China and India's engagement in Africa has been positive in the short-term, partly as a result of higher returns from commodity exports fuelled by excessive demands from both countries, little research exists on the actual impact of China and India's growing involvement on Africa's economic transformation. This book examines in detail the opportunities and challenges posed by the increasing presence of China and India in Africa, and proposes critical interventions that African governments must undertake in order to negotiate with China and India from a stronger and more informed platform.
