What Everyone Should Know About Nigerian History, Politics & Government

by Victor Anazonwu

Decades after history was curiously sidelined from Nigerian school curricula, an entire generation has been cheated out of their country's collective memory. This book comes just in time to help quench a desperate and growing thirst for knowledge long denied. Get a peep into the political environment that existed among its various peoples before Nigeria formally came into existence. Understand how and why the country was founded in 1914; the various policies deployed by British colonial authorities to stay in power; the rise of Nigerian nationalism and the march to independence; the circumstances leading to the collapse of the First Republic and the civil war of 1967 - 1970; the major constitutional developments to date; and the history of modern Nigerian political parties from inception in 1923.
