'If you want to understand Nigeria's history in one succinct go,
this is a very good choice.' Noo Saro-Wiwa 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 still remains hope 'the
Nigeria project' may still succeed.
