Nigeria After 50

0/5 ( ratings)

BY ALL DIMENSIONS NIGERIA SHOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST PROSPEROUS of the world's developing countries. Instead it is one of the poorest. Its journey from independence to Statehood reveals a chequered existence. Its success has been hobbled since 1960 by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, widespread official corruption and an ailing economy-problems which, on occasion, confront Nigeria at a scale unparalleled in modern Africa. The question is: What direction will Nigeria head after fifty years of independence? Will it consolidate democracy, impose good governance, enforce management and maintenance culture, improve the living conditions of its huge population and top the list of the world's developing countries? Or will it continue to earn huge amount of petro-dollars while half its population walks in darkness, and, at long last, break apart along ethnic and religious lines? Kevin Eze, a young Nigerian writer and pianist, answers these questions with insight, imagination and lucidity in NIGERIA AFTER 50.
