Capturing the "mood of the nation," this book offers diagnoses on the country which are broad-based, instructive, and well-presented. The first part of the text outlines the developmental stages of Nigeria while the second part provides an in-depth diagnosis of the major problems besetting Nigeria. The third part of the book gives examples of nations and leadership traits that Nigeria could emulate |

Most Nigerians, when they talk about Nigeria, will refer to her with bubbling jingoism as a "giant of Africa" or "our great nation." But some have asked what Nigeria is a giant of - goodness or evil? Productivity or consumption? Success or failure? Meritocracy or mediocrity? Hollowness or substance? Capturing the "mood of the nation," this book offers diagnoses on the country which are broad-based, instructive, and well-presented. The first part of the text outlines the developmental stages of Nigeria while the second part provides an in-depth diagnosis of the major problems besetting Nigeria. The third part of the book gives examples of nations and leadership traits that Nigeria could emulate Nigeria History 1960- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091868 Nigeria Politics and government 1960- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091883 Nigeria Social conditions 1960- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091888 Nigeria Economic conditions 1960- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091860 Nigeria Histoire 1960- Nigeria Politique et gouvernement 1960- Nigeria Conditions sociales 1960- Nigeria Conditions économiques 1960- HISTORY Africa West. bisacsh Economic history fast Politics and government fast Social conditions fast Nigeria fast https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJcWvf9xXVHQKFTDpVGCQq Since 1960 fast History fast has work: Nigeria beyond divorce (Text) https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGMwXPgDddRgfr7vm9JXr3 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork Print version: 9788431348 9789788431343 FWS01 ZDB-4-EBA FWS_PDA_EBA https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=632591 Volltext |
