Nigeria: A New History of a Turbulent Century

Known as the African Giant, Nigeria's story is complex and often contradictory. How, despite the ravages of colonialism, civil war, ongoing economic disappointment and most recently the Boko Haram insurgency, has the country managed to stay together for a hundred years? Why, despite an abundance of oil, mineral and agricultural wealth, have so many of its people remained in poverty? These are the key questions explored by Richard Bourne in this remarkable and wide-ranging account of Nigeria's history, from its creation in 1914 to the historic 2015 elections and beyond. Featuring a wealth of original research and interviews, this is an essential insight into the shaping of a country where, despite the seemingly dashed optimism that was raised at independence, there remains hope 'the Nigeria project' may still succeed. Nigeria is a place of superlatives & hellip; Africa's most populous nation and & hellip; the continent's largest economy also has one of its worst corruption problems. The output of the Nollywood film industry is staggering, as is the number of children who die yearly from malaria & hellip; Bourne's account & hellip; introduces readers to an array of characters who played critical roles in shaping the nation & hellip; [and] fills a gap for a one-stop history of the first century. & ndash;Maggie Fick Financial Times (West Africa correspondent)

The Bakassi Debacle (hardback)

Accounts of the ceding of Bakassi reveal the intrigues and betrayal of the people of the Bakassi by their government & ndash; from the delay in the issuance of a visa to enable the then Obong of Calabar travel to the Hague and the concomitant frustration of his efforts to testify at the hearings; to the allegation that the President of Nigeria had, during a trip to France, committed to both the Presidents of France and Cameroon to accept and abide by the decision of the ICJ prior to the judgement; and the abruptness and secrecy which appeared to characterise the signing of the Green Tree Agreement etc. & ndash; all appear to suggest that those involved may have been working towards an already determined objective on the Bakassi issue.

The Gods Are Not To Blame

In this play, the theme of Sopocles' "Oedipus Rex" is skillfully transplanted to African soil. King Odewale's progress towards knowledge of the murder and incest that must be expiated before his kingdom can be restored to ealth is unfolded with a dramatic intensity heightened by the richness of the play's Nigerian setting. It had its first performance in Nigeria at the Ife Festival of the Arts in 1968, has since been staged with great success in other West African countries, and was awarded the first prize in the African Arts/Arts d'Afrique playwriting contest in 1969.

The African Scholar

No longer is African literature, in its dominant thrust, defined by an apologetic or polemical response to the representation of Africa in the colonial ideology, and African thought generally by an effort of reformulation of the African image, in what Valentin Mudimbe has called, in his work The Invention of Africa (1988), & ldquo;a discourse of succession. & rdquo; & hellip;This new literature, with the states of consciousness it illuminates, thus marks a break with the effort of elaboration of a counter discourse in relation to the colonial imposition that we associate with the work of an earlier generation of African writers and intellectuals. -------------------------------------- F. ABIOLA IRELE (1936-2017) was one of the most powerful literary and cultural critics of our time. In this final collection, appropriately titled by him as & ldquo;The African Scholar, & rdquo; he breaks new ground, pointing at work that will call beyond his own, as few critics can. What he writes applies of course most immediately to Africa, but it applies also to the global situation of understanding culture and cultural production and indeed the rules of cultural appreciation in this new time. This book, therefore, should be read by everyone. He uses this unusual combination with such grace that the text is never ponderous. Indeed, this is a teaching text with the lightest touch. Irele develops an argument seriously, buoyed by examples of his skillful reading & ndash;textual contextual, and post-contextual & ndash; until even the canny reader is convinced. I hope I have been able to fulfill the extraordinary responsibility laid upon me & hellip;pointing at the strengths of this last collection beyond the limits of my ignorance of much that Francis Abiola Irele speaks about, and recommending this book not only for African and diasporic audiences, but for all readers, everywhere & hellip; & ndash;Gayatri CHAKRAVORTY SPIVAK Columbia University

A Scientist In Parliament (hardback)

The above title written by an eminent scientist who ventured into Nigerian Politics has been read by me and I have found it quite exciting and eye opening. Before independence and some years after, the Nigerian political family consisted largely of polished, selfless gentlemen. The post-military interregnum period has thrown up mostly money-bags, loud-mouthed and rascally players into the political field.

Women Mobilization In Nigeria. A Historical Appraisal Of The Better Life Programme (blp)

This book, Women Mobilization in Nigeria: A historical Appraisal of the Better Life Programme (BLP) for Rural Women is a factual historical analysis of the activities of the Better Life Programme which was launched on Friday, September 18, 1987, by the then First Lady, Her Excellency, Maryam Babangida. Since the advent of human existence, parity, equality and fairness have been an issue faced by societies both in ancient and even in modern times. An equitable future for all in a society that places the female child as inferior should be a concern for all. This laudable initiative gave the rural women, at that time, a fighting chance against extreme poverty, illiteracy, discrimination, inequality, hunger, violent crimes against women as well as other social vises. Overtime, this increased the self-confidence, self-love, and restoration of the dignity of our rural women. This subsequently engendered active participation of more women in cultural, socio-economic, religious and political matters as they concern national development. There are indeed inspiring women who are creating more equitable future for all. Large numbers of intelligent, thoughtful, hardworking women desire a change in the level of their participation in nation building for the common good of all. It is therefore, very important for societies to acknowledge the very simple fact that, public-spirited mother means public-spirited sons. Women who have held various positions in different facets of life have distinguished themselves in the professions, academics, politics, religion and even in the sciences. Many women have left indelible footprint in the annals of history. Many Nigerian women are making the nation and the world proud in the various positions they hold or have held in the past. The likes of the late Dr. Dora Nkem Akunyili, former Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the current Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Amina J. Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), to mention but a few. Their excellent performance and great accomplishments speak volume of their impeccable character. Some may wonder and ask rhetorically, what wrong will it possibly do to society, if more women are mobilized to take their rightful place in leadership to help champion the course of a sustainably developed Nigeria, that will be the pride of all citizens? Therefore, This book is not just an ordinary literary work, it is a wake up call, an inspiration for more women to work hard towards championing more activities of women mobilization for the common good of all.

What Britain Did To Nigeria Max Siollun

What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule by Max Siollun Most accounts of Nigeria's colonisation were written by British officials, presenting it as a noble civilising mission to rid Africans of barbaric superstition and corrupt tribal leadership. Thanks to this skewed writing of history, many Nigerians today still have Empire nostalgia and view thecolonial period through rose-tinted glasses.Max Siollun offers a bold rethink: an unromanticised history, arguing compellingly that colonialism had few benevolent intentions, but many unjust outcomes. It may have ended slavery and human sacrifice, but it was accompanied by extreme violence; ethnic and religious identity were cynicallyexploited to maintain control, while the forceful remoulding of longstanding legal and social practices permanently altered the culture and internal politics of indigenous communities. The aftershocks of this colonial meddling are still being felt decades after independence. Popular narratives oftensuggest that the economic and political turmoil are homegrown, but the reality is that Britain created many of Nigeria's crises, and has left them behind for Nigerians to resolve.This is a definitive, head-on confrontation with Nigeria's experience under British rule, showing how it forever changed the country--perhaps cataclysmically. Review " What Britain Did to Nigeria is a nuanced, informative and timely book that powerfully captures the complexity of the colonial impact."-- Olivette Otele, author of African Europeans: An Untold History "A humanizing and unyielding account of the actors who partook in the making of modern Nigeria, emphasising the scandals and clandestine colonial operations absent from mainstream narratives. It is an unvarnished account of the abuse of power by what was once the most powerful empire on the planet.By the end of this book, the line between savagery and civilization becomes indelibly blurred." -- Gimba Kakanda, writer, foreign policy analyst and columnist, Daily Trust "A must-read for anyone interested in the story of Britain's colonial encounter with Nigeria. Siollun tells this complex story from a Nigerian perspective while never once abandoning his objective eye, the mark of the truly-committed historian. [...] His vast knowledge and down-to-earth writingstyle have combined to produce a book that is both educative and enjoyable to read, one that shows colonialism in all its human complexities and contradictions. A fantastic accomplishment." -- Remi Adekoya, University of York, author of Biracial Britain: A Different Way of Looking at Race "Max Siollun has conducted extraordinary research which places the history of one of the most important English-speaking countries on earth in a new light. This is a compelling, brilliant and brave history of Nigeria and British colonialism."-- Toby Green, author of A Fistful of Shells: West Africafrom the Rise of the Slave Trade to the Age of Revolution"Siollun's evenhanded assessment of the roughly 60 years of colonial rule that followed is also absorbing, particularly his description of Nigerian resistance to the various injustices and humiliations inflicted by the British." --Foreign Affairs, Nicholar van de Walle "It is, to say the least, a complex story, but Siollun gets to the heart of it, offering a cogent analysis of the development of slavery and the lucrative trade in rubber, in palm oil as well as the livestock and cereals industries and the wholesale exploitation involved." --RTE, Paddy Kehoe."The British Empire is often presenteed as an endeavour that conqured territory, carried out atrocities, and looted resources. Max Siollun's 'What Britain Did to Nigeria' provides some evidence to support that case. But Siollun also provides much-needed nuance: British colonialism in Nigeria wascharacterised by a tension between the colonial government and the work of missionaries." --History Today, Tomiwa Owolade."Balanced and illuminating... Siollun shatters the comfortable assumption that the transition from pre-colonial to colonial government in what became Nigeria avoided... monstrous bloodshed." -- The Article "An intriguing new history of the British presence in Nigeria...Max Siollun writes a powerful corrective to the historical record, one that successfully argues that we cannot understand Nigeria today without examining its colonial past."-- Georgetown Security Studies Review What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule by Max Siollun "Max Siollun offers a bold rethink: an unromanticised history, arguing compellingly that colonialism had few benevolent intentions, but many unjust outcomes. [...] This is a definitive, head-on confrontation with Nigeria's experience under British rule, showing how it forever changed thecountry-perhaps cataclysmically."-- BookAuthority, '23 Best New Slavery Books To Read In 2021' About the Author Max Siollun is a historian and author who specializes in Nigeria's history. He has written some of the most acclaimed books on Nigeria's history, and has been described as standing "unchallenged, in contemporary times, as the Chronicler-in-Chief of the Nigerian military" by the Special Assistant onNew Media to Nigeria's President Buhari, Tolu Ogunlesi.

Well Spring Of Emotions

Palmwine Publishing is the Publisher of the Book. A book published by Palmwine Publishing, titles- Wellspring of Emotions. Poetry Is More Than Mere Words, I agree. As a poet I love all poetry verses but the two verses that interest me the most are free and blank verses. The blank verses give me the chance to fill-up their blankness while the free verse gives me the chance to rescue slaves of my thoughts and watch them enjoy freedom. The book is a completely fascinating one. It wanders in and out of poetry, puns, self-indulgently shifts in and out of borrowed and invented voices, and is tricky enough that, on re-reading it, you may find lines that take your thought on a wild goose chase in a quest to find answers to the real story behind them. The poems very nature seduces life experiences and tries to involute them into the poem in a prosy manner. It toys with solemnity and its covert theme is the joy and sadness of emotions. Chioma Rosemary Madumere Nee Onyekaba was born in Jos in 1993 and educated at Abia State University, Uturu in Abia State and the University of Benin. She is a multi-talented vibrant, industrious, award winning Nigerian Female writer, poet, novelist, dramatist, blogger, graphic designer, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, publisher, and photographer.

Boko Haram And Its Suicide Squad

A remorseful jihadist confesses his jihadi crime and atrocities to an investigative journalist, Johnny Cameron, who was on a dangerous assignment in Borno State, northeast of Nigeria, to cover the kidnapping of five westerners, by Boko Haram. Cameron's assignment took him to Boko Haram's stronghold, where the journalist discovered that terrorism was satanic and evil. After months of constantly dodging bullets and suicide bombs, Cameron realized that Boko Haram was more determined, and deadlier than the Nigerian military. Cameron knew that he must be brave and smart if he wanted to survive a war that seemed bigger than the war in Syria. The acts of murder, mayhem and carnage, form the nucleus of this book of terrorism, which is essentially a work of fiction.

There Was A Country: A Personal History Of Biafra

From the legendary author of Things Fall Apart comes a long-awaited memoir about coming of age with a fragile new nation, then watching it torn asunder in a tragic civil war. The defining experience of Chinua Achebe's life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967-1970. The conflict was infamous for its savage impact on the Biafran people, Chinua Achebe's people, many of whom were starved to death after the Nigerian government blockaded their borders. By then, Chinua Achebe was already a world-renowned novelist, with a young family to protect. He took the Biafran side in the conflict and served his government as a roving cultural ambassador, from which vantage he absorbed the war's full horror. Immediately after, Achebe took refuge in an academic post in the United States, and for more than 40 years he has maintained a considered silence on the events of those terrible years, addressing them only obliquely through his poetry. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering reckoning with one of modern Africa's most fateful events, from a writer whose words and courage have left an enduring stamp on world literature. Achebe masterfully relates his experience, both as he lived it and how he has come to understand it. He begins his story with Nigeria's birth pangs and the story of his own upbringing as a man and as a writer so that we might come to understand the country's promise, which turned to horror when the hot winds of hatred began to stir. To read There Was a Country is to be powerfully reminded that artists have a particular obligation, especially during a time of war. All writers, Achebe argues, should be committed writers - they should speak for their history, their beliefs, and their people. Marrying history and memoir, poetry and prose, There Was a Country is a distillation of vivid firsthand observation and 40 years of research and reflection. Wise, humane, and authoritative, it will stand as definitive and reinforce Achebe's place as one of the most vital literary and moral voices of our age.

The Nigerian Revolution And The Biafran War

The Nigerian Revolution and the Biafran War A retired general of the Biafran Army presents a post-mortem account of the events of the Nigerian civil war, 1966-70. He attempts to explain dispassionately why army officers toppled the civil government in the cause of stability, and the considerable civilian support they received; and the ensuing riots and counter-coup, in the name of reunification, which led to a civil war claiming some three million lives. He presents eye-witness accounts, and from an insider-perspective tells the story of how and why the Biafrans fought the war for almost three years under blockade and in isolation from the outside world, aiming to rectify much perceived misinformation about the war published outside Africa.

Oil, Politics And Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture (1966-1976)

This is a ground breaking book by historian Max Siollun about the relationship between oil and military rule in Nigeria. Modern Nigeria cannot be understood without reference to its era of military rule.

Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous By Ngozi Okonjo-iweala

A frontline account of how to fight corruption, from Nigeria's former finance minister Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. In Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has written a primer for those working to root out corruption and disrupt vested interests. Drawing on her experience as Nigeria's finance minister and that of her team, she describes the dangers, pitfalls, and successes in fighting corruption. She provides practical lessons learned and tells how anti-corruption advocates need to equip themselves. Okonjo-Iweala details the numerous ways in which corruption can divert resources away from development, rewarding the unscrupulous and depriving poor people of services. Okonjo Iweala discovered just how dangerous fighting corruption could be when her 83-year-old mother was kidnapped in 2012 by forces who objected to some of the government's efforts at reforms led by Okonjo-Iweala in particular a crackdown on fraudulent claims for oil subsidy payments, a huge drain on the country's finances. The kidnappers' first demand was that Okonjo-Iweala resign from her position on live television and leave the country. Okonjo Iweala did not resign, her mother escaped, and the program of economic reforms continued. "Telling my story is risky," Okonjo-Iweala writes. "But not telling it is also dangerous." Her book ultimately leaves us with hope, showing that victories are possible in the fight against corruption.

Things Fall Apart, Things Fall Together (hardcover) By Biodun Jeyifo

"...In the writing of the two essays in this book, I went to great lengths to press my readings of Achebe's first novel, Things Fall Apart, into service in an effort to see hopeful signs in otherwise quite bleak circumstances in Nigeria and Africa... In each of the respective readings of Achebe's novel in these two essays, I was writing under very great pressure of time and of discursive context...

The African Scholar - Hard Back

No longer is African literature, in its dominant thrust, defined by an apologetic or polemical response to the representation of Africa in the colonial ideology, and African thought generally by an effort of reformulation of the African image, in what Valentin Mudimbe has called, in his work The Invention of Africa (1988), & ldquo;a discourse of succession. & rdquo; & hellip;This new literature, with the states of consciousness it illuminates, thus marks a break with the effort of elaboration of a counter discourse in relation to the colonial imposition that we associate with the work of an earlier generation of African writers and intellectuals. -------------------------------------- F. ABIOLA IRELE (1936-2017) was one of the most powerful literary and cultural critics of our time. In this final collection, appropriately titled by him as & ldquo;The African Scholar, & rdquo; he breaks new ground, pointing at work that will call beyond his own, as few critics can. What he writes applies of course most immediately to Africa, but it applies also to the global situation of understanding culture and cultural production and indeed the rules of cultural appreciation in this new time. This book, therefore, should be read by everyone. He uses this unusual combination with such grace that the text is never ponderous. Indeed, this is a teaching text with the lightest touch. Irele develops an argument seriously, buoyed by examples of his skillful reading & ndash;textual contextual, and post-contextual & ndash; until even the canny reader is convinced. I hope I have been able to fulfill the extraordinary responsibility laid upon me & hellip;pointing at the strengths of this last collection beyond the limits of my ignorance of much that Francis Abiola Irele speaks about, and recommending this book not only for African and diasporic audiences, but for all readers, everywhere & hellip;

Afrobeat! Fela And The Imagined Continent By Sola Olorunyomi

In the seventies, as signs of decay began to show in the capitalist experiment of the newly independent African countries, a "bard of the misrule" emerged on the streets of Lagos. Often shirtless and armed with his trademark saxophone, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti tore his way into popular culture with Afrobeat music. Blending ethno-traditional forms with the reigning highlife and jazz rhythms, Afrobeat drew lyrics from the flip side of neo-colonial society and Fela's London and American experience in the sixties. In the two decades that followed, Fela ruled the nights from Afrika Shrine, his signature nightclub, and the days from the turntables of the restless city dwellers along the Atlantic coastline. Fela's Afrobeat became a dynamic mode of expression in the social history of post-independent West Africa. It generated a counterculture that bonded through music, drugs, resistance politics & mdash;and ultimately, the nascence of an Afrocentric contemporary global culture. In AFROBEAT! FELA AND THE IMAGINED CONTINENT a popular artist, a counter-hegemonic activist of the hardest grain, meets his most cerebral, disquisitional interpreter. & mdash; ODIA OFFIMUN, former President, Association of Nigerian Authors. This is not just another addition to a growing Fela scholarship but a fascinating and frequently insightful study. It is both a celebration of Fela's uncommon virtuosity and an exploration of his mystique. & mdash; NIYI OSUNDARE, Professor of English, University of New Orleans. A major contribution to Fela scholarship in particular, and African popular culture studies in general; it explores Afrobeat as musical practice and cultural politics. & mdash; TEJUMOLA OLANIYAN, Associate Professor of English, University of Virginia An original effort. Like Fela's life, this account of it is not only a wild ride but a magical African musical mystery tour. & mdash; DAVID COPLAN, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa.

The Tragedy Of Victory - On-the-Spot Account Of The Nigeria-Biafra War

The Tragedy of Victory: On-the-Spot Account of the Nigeria-Biafra War in the Atlantic Theatre is a chronological narrative of the war that lasted from July 6, 1967 to January 15, 1970. With about 500 photographs and maps and facts, told with accuracy, the well-organised and efficient Third Marine Commandos, earlier commanded by Col. Benjamin Adekunle (with Lt. Col. G. Alabi-Isama, as the Chief of Staff) had already controlled the Atlantic coast from Bonny to Calabar before Col. Olusegun Obasanjo & rsquo;s arrival as the new commander . This most revealing book is in three parts. The first part is an account of the author & rsquo;s early life and his first encounter with the army. Under the watchful eyes of a mother who gave the best in moral education to a son of promise, Alabi-Isama & rsquo;s life got shaped by a pre-destined career where the cap really fitted. The second part is about the real combat. It outlines, in detail, the strategies and tactics the commandos employed during the historic 480km trek from Calabar to Port Harcourt and narrates the hostile climate, terrain environment, health and survival hazards they had to surmount on the 30-day march. The think-tank, the mapping out of operations and disciplined control of men and materials by Alabi-Isama, the chief of staff, as well as the officers of 3 Marine Commando Division of the Nigerian army, sustained the Nigerian side of the conflict. This section concludes with the final successful push by the commandos into Uli-Ihiala, Biafra & rsquo;s & lsquo;centre of gravity, & rsquo; a move that ended the war following the surrender of Biafra. The third part is an expose on Obasanjo & rsquo;s book, My Command. The author contests Obasanjo & rsquo;s claims about the war as being inconsistent with the truth and maintains that it is a tragedy that the real fighters of the war for the unity of Nigeria had not been acknowledged to date. Rather, they wallow in poverty and are discredited by their military leaders who assumed political offices with all the accompanying largesse. The book is a rich manual, a repository of invaluable information, a document that gives a precise and veritable first-person account of the Nigerian civil war, in the Atlantic theatre. It is a must for every serving and retired member of the armed forces to own. Other Nigerians and international bodies will find it particularly useful in reconstructing the events of Nigeria & rsquo;s civil war.

There Was A Country

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 & ndash;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 & rsquo;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 & rsquo;s place as one of the great literary and moral voices of our age.
