In this no-holds-barred exposition, radical peace researcher and activist, Comrade Jude Obuseh, expertly guides his readers through the complex labyrinths of Nigerian politics, succinctly capturing its practical realities. His musings unearth some inconvenient truths, such as the overt and covert reasons the post-colonial Nigerian State has remained underdeveloped, conflict-ridden and chaotic decades since political independence; the fiends responsible for the relentless tugs on Nigeria's fragile unity, as well as the disruptive inconsistencies and contradictions in its operation; how Nigeria's emasculated and disorderly system of injustice was structured, the interests it serves in the body politic, alongside other shocking revelations that most Nigerians are oblivious of. The book answers critical questions such as, is the Nigerian State a freak of nature? What is the origin and foundation of inequality in Nigeria? Is Nigeria truly a Federal Republic? Is the Nigerian dream condemned to remaining a utopia? Are Nigerians condemned to wallowing in their chains? How can Nigerians break free from the fetters, constraining them, and what strategies should they adopt? Several other equally pertinent answers to the Nigerian question are proffered by the author of this book. This book challenges Nigerians to channel their mental energies towards understanding the core factors constraining their country's march to greatness, rather than casting stones at phantasms such as Colonialism, Ethnicity, Religion, and Amalgamation, alongside other contrived factors, which are mostly superfluous. This is the most revealing, blunt and authoritative book on real politics in Nigeria. It should serve as a shock treatment that would jolt Nigerians out of their perennial slumber of indifference, indolence and inaction. It is a must-read for every Nigerian seeking answers to the country's plethora of woes, as well as researchers, students and institutions interested in Nigerian politics.
