Cocaine Hoppers provides empirical evidence to explain the
involvement of Nigerians in the global cocaine trade. Investigating
the criminogenic environment created by the Nigerian 'state
crisis,' Oboh traces the geographic, demographic, economic,
historical, political, and cultural factors enhancing cocaine
culture in Nigeria. Based on years of research, Oboh reveals this
social network that relies on "reverse social capital" wherein
wealth and power are achieved through illegal means solely to
benefit the individual. This lively, theoretically grounded study
examines the new trend of traffickers dominating the illicit
cocaine trade through West Africa to destinations across the globe
to provide an account of Nigerian involvement in international drug
trafficking as it has never been divulged before. This book will be
appreciated by criminologists, social scientists, policymakers,
drug researchers and organized crime scholars. And eagerly be read
by those interested in Nigeria, and problems of African immigrants,
and in the international drug trafficking.
