In this compendium of essays, Dr Jideofor Adibe discusses the
issues around which contestations for state power and Nigeria's
quest for development revolve and also interrogates the various
desiderata for resolving those issues. The essays, mostly from the
author's weekly column in two of the leading newspapers in Nigeria,
also cover issues of 'societal beliefs' such as policemen arresting
and detaining a goat on the assumption that the goat was a criminal
who through magical means turned into an animal to evade arrest.
The articles are well-researched and written with remarkable
authority and gusto. The book is a must read
