Making of an African Giant: State, Politics and Public Policy in Nigeria, Vol. Two

Dr. Dan Mou

4.9/5 (12691 ratings)

Description:The performance of Nigeria has recently been vehemently criticized as not commensurate with her human and material potentialities. The hope that Nigeria is, by destiny, the African Giant appears to be fading. Some analysts, seeing this, have blamed it on the character defects of the leadership in Nigeria. They argue that because the leaders are "predatory and corrupt," they have preoccupied themselves with their interests, which are "primitive accumulation and luxurious lifestyles." Meanwhile, the rest of the citizens are suffering. This book argues that such character defects may indeed exist in some of Nigerian leaders. However, these are not the main reasons for their dismal performance regarding the welfare of the citizens. The main problem is that Nigerian leaders seem to have largely lost control over the state and its policies, which appear to have been captured by the dominant classes and groups-local and international. Nigeria's main problem is, therefore, a structural one. Nonetheless, the book concludes-as the security, economic, political, and social crises intensify-Nigerian leaders, even if it is simply for self-preservation, will be forced by the objective conditions to move against the interests of these dominant classes and groups. It is only then that Nigeria can realistically be restored to the possibility of becoming an African Giant.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
