Abstract
Rethinking Nigeria's Conflicts of State Building and the Legal Imperatives Beyond Chinua Achebe's ‘There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra’
Highlights
The journey towards nationhood in Nigeria has been complex and rouged, splintered by crises of instability and dysfunctional government
To explore Nigeria's political problems without thorough examination of the challenges of cultural nationality and social identity, over-centralization, war and prolonged era of military dictatorship, and the recent problems of globalization in the oil market may be implicitly unrealistic. This paper explores these critical factors through a critique of Achebe's narrativization of Nigerian political problems in his personal history
The findings of this research indicate that Nigeria's acclaimed federalism is a misnomer, lacking in legitimacy, process and delivery
Summary
The journey towards nationhood in Nigeria has been complex and rouged, splintered by crises of instability and dysfunctional government. He evaluates the consequences of colonial amalgamation and political restructuring of the indigenous power paradigms that destroyed the social authority patterns in Nigeria.
