Book excerpt: Nigeria, Africa’s most populous and biggest democracy, celebrates her fiftieth year as an independent nation in October 2010. As the cliché states, ‘As Nigeria goes, so goes Africa’. This book frames the socio-historical and political trajectory of Nigeria while examining the many dimensions of the critical choices that she has made as an independent nation. How does the social composition of interest and power illuminate the actualities and narratives of the Nigerian crisis? How have the choices made by Nigerian leaders structured, and/or have been structured by, the character of the Nigerian state and state-society relations? In what ways is Nigeria’s mono-product, debt-ridden, dependent economy fed by ‘the politics of plunder’? And what are the implications of these questions for the structural relationships of production, reproduction and consumption? This book confronts these questions by making state-centric approaches to understanding African countries speak to relevant social theories that pluralize and complicate our understanding of the specific challenges of a prototypical postcolonial state. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary African Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BY ALL DIMENSIONS NIGERIA SHOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST PROSPEROUS of the world's developing countries. Instead it is one of the poorest. Its journey from independence to Statehood reveals a chequered existence. Its success has been hobbled since 1960 by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, widespread official corruption and an ailing economy-problems which, on occasion, confront Nigeria at a scale unparalleled in modern Africa. The question is: What direction will Nigeria head after fifty years of independence? Will it consolidate democracy, impose good governance, enforce management and maintenance culture, improve the living conditions of its huge population and top the list of the world's developing countries? Or will it continue to earn huge amount of petro-dollars while half its population walks in darkness, and, at long last, break apart along ethnic and religious lines? Kevin Eze, a young Nigerian writer and pianist, answers these questions with insight, imagination and lucidity in NIGERIA AFTER 50.
