Unity in Nigeria'S Diversity

In this Book

The Author illustrates this view based on Nigeria's experience. In the face of their ongoing crises, most Nigerians go on with their lives smiling and suffering as their famous singer, Fela, stated in one of his songs many years ago.

Vita is calling on all his fellow Nigerians to continue smiling but to find some time to reflect on their sufferings that arise from their development crises across all sectors. These crises had been discussed extensively by many authors including Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Peter Lewis, and more recently by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Here Vita asks the questions: Is Nigeria really unreformable? Can Nigeria grow in unity while remaining in her diverse state?

Vita believes that Nigeria can be reformed if she is courageous enough to take what he calls a holistic approach to her development challenges. Such an approach involves the following holistic actions in government’s development policies and cultures of the people.
