Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the world's eighth
largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent
decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability,
rampant official corruption and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a
leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and
Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and
culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to
Nigeria's recent troubles through an exploration of its
pre-colonial and colonial past, and its journey from independence
to statehood. By examining key themes such as colonialism,
religion, slavery, nationalism and the economy, the authors show
how Nigeria's history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the
world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these
challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient
people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential.
