Nigeria On The Precipice Issues Options And Solutions

Ever since the British created Nigeria in 1914 without regard to the cultural differences and incompatibility of the people in the northern and southern protectorates, the nation has been wracked by problems. The Nigerian civil war fought from 1967 to 1970 is just one example of the violence that has crippled the nation. With the Nigerian people issuing a sustained call for change, its clear that they are not satisfied with the current system of government. So far, leaders have not responded to the discontent, but theyd be well served by holding a referendum to decide what kind of government to adopt. This referendum must be conducted if Nigeria has any chance of stepping away from the precipice. With a referendum, the government would not only make headway on overcoming problems but regain the trust of its people. If Nigerians dont continue to demand change - and if leaders dont start paying attention to them - the country will continue to be plagued by the remnants of Great Britains divide-and-conquer strategy.

Ever since the British created Nigeria in 1914 without regard to the cultural differences and incompatibility of the people in the northern and southern protectorates, the nation has been wracked by problems. The Nigerian civil war fought from 1967 to 1970 and the agitation for restructuring of the political system are just a few examples of the violence that has crippled the nation. With the Nigerian people issuing a sustained call for change, it’s clear that they are not satisfied with the current system of government. So far, leaders have not responded to the discontent, but they’d be well served by holding a referendum to decide what kind of political system to adopt. The referendum must be conducted if Nigeria has any chance of stepping away from the precipice. With a plebiscite, the government would not only make headway on overcoming the problems but regain the trust of its people under an acceptable system of government and reposition the country with clear direction. If Nigerians don’t continue to demand change – and if leaders don’t pay attention to them – the country will continue to be plagued by discontent, ethnicism, disunity, unpatriotism and nepotism, leading to balkanization of Nigeria. This book – an updated version of Nigeria on the Precipice – highlights topics such as: • how minerals and other natural resources across Nigeria can support federalism; • why leaders continue to seek ethnic gains at the expense of national interest; • why militancy, self-determination have emerged as a sign of discontent.

• Complete explanation of oil and gas terminology • Include all current developments in the petroleum frontiers • Clear and detailed definitions • Extensively cross referenced • Handy for quick and easy reference • Vital for practitioners, journalists, contractors, businessmen and students.

The future of Nigeria is predictable. Ever since the British created Nigeria in 1914 without regard to the cultural differences and incompatibility of the people in the northern and southern protectorates, the nation has been wracked by problems.

With a referendum, the government would not only make headway on overcoming the problems but regain the trust of its people. If Nigerians don’t continue to demand change – and if leaders don’t start paying attention to them – the country will continue to be plagued by discontent, ethnicism, disunity and unpatriotism, leading to eventual deamalgamation and balkanization of Nigeria.

Most times people think marriage is an easy venture, and without due diligence, they jump into it before realizing the complexity of the institution they have committed to. And to complicate matters, while God has created marriage in a specific way, women today now believe that they have the same rights and authority as the men, leading to undue agitation in marriages where there are no longer defined roles as God intended. Feminism: The Agony of Men shows how the feminist movement—which advocates for equal rights, opportunity, and authority with men—is the major cause of unending tension between men and women both in marriages and in relationships outside of marriage. This feminist philosophy has left men groaning in pains in his own world, as his spouse believes they are partners in the marriage and so must have equal rights, authority, and opportunity. Until the philosophy behind feminism is curbed, men will continue to experience pains under cold relationships that will eventually lead to the collapse of their marriages. Feminism: The Agony of Men is an exposition of the silent pains men go through in marriages induced by feminism and the need for restraint, allowing natural order to prevail.
