Book Synopsis Oyinbo Foreigner's Guide to Living in Lagos by : Annette A. O. Fisher
Download or read book Oyinbo Foreigner's Guide to Living in Lagos written by Annette A. O. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It suddenly came to me to write this book about how to cope when you first arrive in Nigeria. Having been abroad myself for the past 30 years; re-adjusting to the Nigerian environment was very perplexing, and I thought it must be even more so for foreigners. So this book is targeted not only at Europeans and other Africans who may be visiting Nigeria for the first time, but also to Expatriate Nigerians who may or may not have touched our soil in decades, and who definitely need a refresher course judging by my own experiences having returned to Lagos in 2010.Even though Nigeria is an English speaking country previously a British Colony the unofficial accepted language is Pidgin English and as such the use and translation of simple English words in Pidgin English differ widely and have meanings that would baffle you.....!Hopefully this book will help to dispel any confusion in communicating locally and make your stay a vibrant, enlightening and enjoyable experience.

With such a large population comes increased competition for few opportunities and resources, which results in the survival of the fittest. Hard labor has its rewards, which cannot be understated. Laziness promotes mental poverty, which results in failure and the inability to perform anticipated obligations and responsibilities. Whatever job you have, you must put in a lot of effort. If you don't put in a lot of effort in the face of increasing competition, you'll eventually lose out in the race for survival to others. Please Get a Copy Now!

Book Synopsis Class, Ethnicity, and Democracy in Nigeria by : Larry Diamond
Download or read book Class, Ethnicity, and Democracy in Nigeria written by Larry Diamond and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1988-08-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overthrow in January 1966 of Nigeria’s First Republic erased what had been regarded as perhaps the most promising prospect for liberal democracy in post-colonial Africa. Marking the sweeping failure of parliamentary institutions across a continent of new nations, it accelerated the slide into a ghastly civil war. Class, Ethnicity and Democracy is the first scholarly study to analyze the evolution, decay, and failure of Nigeria’s First Republic and to weigh this crucial experience against theories of the conditions for stable democratic government. Rejecting explanations that focus on political culture, political institutions, or ethnic competition and conflict, Larry Diamond identifies the root of Nigeria’s democratic failure in the interrelationship between class, ethnic and state structures. This led the emergent dominant class in each region to mobilize and exploit ethnicity and to trample the democratic process in furious competition for state control, since that control was the primary means for accumulating wealth and consolidating class dominance. Tracing the polarization of conflict and the erosion of legitimacy through five major crises, Diamond presents a new methodology for analyzing the persistence and failure of democracies and points to the relationship between state and society as a crucial determinant of the possibility for liberal democracy.
Book Synopsis To Cook a Continent by : Nnimmo Bassey
Download or read book To Cook a Continent written by Nnimmo Bassey and published by Fahamu/Pambazuka. This book was released on 2012 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that the climate crisis confronting the world today is rooted mainly in the wealthy economies’ abuse of fossil fuels, indigenous forests, and global commercial agriculture, this important book investigates how Africa has been exploited and how Africans should respond for the good of all. As it examines the oil industry in Africa and probes the causes of global warming, this record warns of its insidious impacts and explores false solutions. Demonstrating that the issues around natural resource exploitation, corporate profiteering, and climate change must be considered together if the planet is to be saved, the book suggests how Africa can overcome the crises of environment and global warming.
