| Publisher Description: 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. |
