This book examines the impact of post-colonial leadership on
political integration in Nigeria, offering an in-depth
understanding of the historical and contemporary forces that shape
Nigeria's national politics as well as African politics generally.
The world is watching to see whether Nigeria will succeed in its
current third experiment with representative democracy, which was
launched in 1999. After reviewing Nigeria's pre-colonial and
colonial political histories, A Roadmap for Understanding African
Politics discusses how those histories, along with contemporary
external forces like neo-colonialism as well as internal social,
economic and political structures and developments have affected
emerging post-independence politics in that country. The study
climaxes with an Africa-centred theory of political and integrative
leadership and then uses it as a prism for analysing six Nigerian
post-independence political leaderships, encompassing Nigeria's
First and Second Republics, along with their military interregna.
The concluding chapter includes a discussion of the implications of
the study for leadership and political integration in Africa in
general.
