Overview

The state of Nigeria rests upon a knife's edge. Dwindling oil prices, global shifts away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and the ubiquity of corruption in the country's bureaucracy has created palpable fear. It cannot only be felt at the local, state, and national levels, but in communities, schools, and the homes of its citizens. Despite these issues, as one of the leading oil- and gas-producing countries in the world, Nigeria has a responsibility to lead the African region out of poverty and into the modern world. They have the resources and determination, but it will take overcoming decades of entrenched corruption to find a way forward. Nigeria: A Failed State? treats in exhaustive detail the history of Robert Nwadiaru's home nation and the contemporary political, social, and economic obstacles facing the country as it attempts to modernize.
