DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 1950s were traumatic years for the British: a mighty Empire was in its death-throes. But for Africans, these were years of immense exhilaration, of great expectations. Independence was within close reach. And in Nigeria, it was accepted that it should come quickly. But there was a problem: Nigeria's minorities profoundly feared for their future under African leaders. This study reveals the remarkable story of how and why the British authorities betrayed the Nigerian people in their treatment of this critical minorities issue, an issue of their own making...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWho Betrayed Nigeria?The Nigerian nation no doubt is one of the naturally endowed nations under the sun with vast concentrations of anything made by God. It's been 58 years since the British colonist packed their baggage, filled with their culture, ideologies and vision out of the rich black nation. They left the heterogeneous country in the hands and tricks of the people. But something glaring seemed to have bedeviled Nigeria since then - underdevelopment in all facets of the country's socio-economic and political structure. Who betrayed this giant and still holding it to ransom despite its size, strength and strive?Could it be the under-listed:*The Nigerian bogey politicians and their bogey policies and visions?*The Nigerian judiciary and their arbitrary segregated and discriminatory laws?*The self-centered and self-fortified Nigerian elites and their returnees of offspring and stooges?*The colonist, the capitalist and the new modern invaders?*The politicized Nigerian army, its dented images and bully frame?*The corruption infested Nigerian police, its unprofessionalism and its neglected personnel?*The Nigerian religious society and its unparalleled congregation of pastors, reverends, bishops, imams, sheiks and mallams?*The large number of Nigerian Diasporas, the brain drains and their unpatriotic abandonment of their fatherland?*The large redundant Nigerian Civil Servants and their money induced service and unpatriotic annual strikes?*The Nigerian Academia and their blight vision of money propel ivory towers and battle grounds for unpatriotic annual strikes?*The Nigerian Journalists, the doctors, lawyers, writers, traders, artisans and the elderly, including those with disabilities and the lazy Nigerian youth?Nigeria the hitherto prosperous nation is a betrayed nation today trying to stand back on its feet as the furious rage of terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry and ritualism unleashed their poisonous fangs on the country and its people. Their mission no doubt is to cripple the rich nation by all means.Did the above listed group have anything to do with it? Well, the decision is yours as the reader.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKScarred by decades of conflict and occupation, the craggy African nation of Eritrea has weathered the world's longest-running guerrilla war. The dogged determination that secured victory against Ethiopia, its giant neighbor, is woven into the national psyche, the product of cynical foreign interventions. Fascist Italy wanted Eritrea as the springboard for a new, racially pure Roman empire; Britain sold off its industry for scrap; the United States needed a base for its state-of-the-art spy station; and the Soviet Union used it as a pawn in a proxy war. In I Didn't Do It for You, Michela Wrong reveals the breathtaking abuses this tiny nation has suffered and, with a sharp eye for detail and a taste for the incongruous, tells the story of colonialism itself and how international power politics can play havoc with a country's destiny.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKE-mails proposing an "urgent business relationship" help make fraud Nigeria's largest source of foreign revenue after oil. But scams are also a central part of Nigeria's domestic cultural landscape. Corruption is so widespread in Nigeria that its citizens call it simply "the Nigerian factor." Willing or unwilling participants in corruption at every turn, Nigerians are deeply ambivalent about it--resigning themselves to it, justifying it, or complaining about it. They are painfully aware of the damage corruption does to their country and see themselves as their own worst enemies, but they have been unable to stop it. A Culture of Corruption is a profound and sympathetic attempt to understand the dilemmas average Nigerians face every day as they try to get ahead--or just survive--in a society riddled with corruption. Drawing on firsthand experience, Daniel Jordan Smith paints a vivid portrait of Nigerian corruption--of nationwide fuel shortages in Africa's oil-producing giant, Internet cafés where the young launch their e-mail scams, checkpoints where drivers must bribe police, bogus organizations that siphon development aid, and houses painted with the fraud-preventive words "not for sale." This is a country where "419"--the number of an antifraud statute--has become an inescapable part of the culture, and so universal as a metaphor for deception that even a betrayed lover can say, "He played me 419." It is impossible to comprehend Nigeria today--from vigilantism and resurgent ethnic nationalism to rising Pentecostalism and accusations of witchcraft and cannibalism--without understanding the role played by corruption and popular reactions to it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe suffering of Syrian civilians, caught between the government’s barrel bombs and chemical weapons and religious fanatics’ beheadings and mass killings, shocked the world. Yet despite international law and political commitments proclaiming a responsibility to protect civilians from mass atrocities, world actors stood aside as Syria burned. Again and again, neighboring states, global powers, and the United Nations opted for half-measures or made counterproductive choices that caused even more harm. Alex J. Bellamy provides a forensic account of the world’s failure to protect Syrian civilians from mass atrocities. Drawing on interviews with key players, documents from the United Nations and other international organizations, and sources from the Middle East and beyond, he traces the missteps of the international response to Syria’s civil war. Bellamy systematically examines the various peace processes and the reasons they failed, highlighting potential alternative paths. He details how and why key actors prioritized their own national interest, geopolitical standing, regional stability, local rivalries, counterterrorism goals, or domestic politics rather than the welfare of Syrians. Some governments settled on unrealistic strategies founded on misguided assumptions while others pursued naked ambition; the United Nations descended into irrelevance and even complicity. Shedding new light on the decisions that led to a vast calamity, Syria Betrayed also draws out lessons for more effective responses to future civil conflicts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is a comprehensive theoretical and empirical investigation of the practical application of representative bureaucracy in Nigeria. Part I consists of four chapters, beginning with a theoretical and an historical overview of representative bureaucracy and policy making in Nigeria. This includes a discussion of the myths, contradictions, and the resultant dilemmas of administration. It highlights the complexities and intricacies of public policy-making, and examines the concept of representative bureaucracy including its meaning, forms, criticisms, prospects, limitations, and history. It also examines the need for administrative reforms, what reforms have taken place, and the country's search for appropriate bureaucracy for nation building. Part II details the objective and empirical facts regarding the representativeness of bureaucracy in Nigeria and its implications. Unlike past approaches, this book provides solid evidence of what difference representative bureaucracy actually makes on the ground. Using a novel and rigorous methodological approach, the actual impact of the civil service on policy-making is assessed and insights are provided into how a more representative bureaucracy affects policy. The approach is enhanced by the authors' advantage as Nigerian scholars who had both worked in the Nigerian political system as civil servant and university professors. This landmark study will be of value to scholars and students of Nigerian and African political, economic, and social development .
