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 Nigeria Leadership and Development written by Eme N. Ekekwe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book , NIGERIA: LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT - ESSAYS IN HONOUR OF CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI , is an attempt to clarify the issue about leadership and how , in our circumstances , it has impeded ( or for those who believe differently , facilitated ) the achievement of the Nigeria project. The philosophy behind this book is that if those who are doing well get encouragement they will see the need to remain focussed and stay the course ; they may then inspire others who may aim to achieve even more. It is useful to always be critical in appreciating those who lead because it might help them to improve . But it is most unhelpful to always condemn everything , and thus attracting into the ring those who are entirely shameless. There is something to be gained by encouraging those who show signs of understanding that Nigeria cannot afford to continue muddling through unless it wants to literally fall off the map in a globalized world . Leadership is an honour and an opportunity for service to humanity and not just a platform for self - promotion. PETER EKEKWE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GARDENCITY LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE PORT-HARCOURT NIGERIA

Download or read book Legacies Logics Logistics written by Jane I. Guyer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume consists of a collection of essays written since the economic crash of 2007-8 by the eminent Africanist and economic anthropologist Jane Guyer. In a substantial Introduction written especially for this volume and eleven chapters, two of which are also new, divided into four parts Public Economic Cultures, Cultures of Calculation, Platforms, and Toward Ethnography and the People s Economies Guyer gives a comparative analysis of different aspects of public culture during recent economic transformations in West Africa (primarily Nigeria), Britain, and the United States. Her analysis is at once deeply comparative and historically and theoretically wide-ranging. The emphasis is not on the power of things or concepts to shape economies or markets, but on the effectuation of those things, the making of the elements, their own composition and their concatenation into new compositions, always tenuous, destined eventually to fall apart but not fade away entirely from the earth. This places the focus on those makings, the craft involved, the coordination needed to make the elements work and do work even though they might not always fit so nicely together. For the economy is a platform, lashed together from often unlikely, incongruous elements, duct tape where screws and nails are required. Far more than the sum of its parts this book will help set the stage for what may well be the some of the most exciting adventures of an anthropology in the making."

The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her “louding voice” and speak up for herself, The Girl with the Louding Voice is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself – and help other girls like her do the same. Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on The Today Show) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams…and maybe even change the world.
Download or read book Reinventing Nigeria written by Declan Mbadiwe Emelumba and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-Inventing Nigeria presents a political analysis of the country, showing how to make Nigeria’s federation work. It proffers a democratic initiative to keep Nigeria together as one strong united federal republic, while providing a democratic model that other countries with similar multiethnic challenges can emulate. The book focuses on how the Nigerian Federal Project can be restructured to make it more functional and service driven. It begins with a historical review, concluding that the foundations of Nigeria were faulty from the start, with no agreement made towards nationhood by the federating units. Instead, Nigeria’s different ethnic nationalities held themselves in mutual suspicion, even in contempt, before independence. A new form of democratic government, called plebisciterianism, is recommended because of its inbuilt recourse to the plebiscite. This ensures that all nationalities are included in the government at any given time.
Download or read book Rebuilding Nigeria written by Obinna Ositadimma Oleribe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book on Nigeria. I began this book with who I am and why I think I am qualified to speak on Nigeria – born towards the end of the Biafra war, I suffered. I lost my twin sister, Ogechi and am yet to recover from it. I have also lived most of my life in Nigeria across the six geopolitical zones. This book detailed my views and those of 100 respondents drawn from across the nation on what the issues (problems/challenges) are, the root causes, the perpetuating factors, the results and the viable solutions to the national problems. While what you already know as regards these – corruption, tribalism/ethnicity, poor/bad leadership and poor citizen participant topped the list of challenges; national restructuring, constitutional review and citizen engagement were cited as viable solutions. I also took the liberty to introduce the concept of a United Nations of Nigeria (UNON) – similar to the UAE algorithm. We need to take relevant steps to rebuild Nigeria. The time to start is now. Join the campaign.
Download or read book Nigeria written by J. Isawa Elaigwu and published by Adonis & Abbey Publishers Ltd. This book was released on 2012-06-30 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has experienced different forms of crises and instability since she became independent on October 1 1960. The country has also been under different forms of rule - from the Westminster system of parliamentary democracy in the First Republic (1960-1966),to prolonged periods of military rule (1966-1979, 1983-1999) to a presidential system of governance (1979-1983, 1999-present). During these periods, there have been several contentious issues that appear to permanently put the country on the precipice. In this collection of essays, Isawa Elaigwu, a professor emeritus of political science reflects on the country's painful political experiences, arguing that it is necessary for Nigerians to understand the past and actively participate in the present in order to create a brighter future for the country. The essays in the book therefore serve as the links between the country's yesterday and today as foundations for the future.
