CLINICAL POLITICS IN NIGERIA: MATTERS ARISING
This is a 571-page vade mecum; a critique of history, full of insights and depth of understanding of Nigeria's dialectic progress. In this book, Nigeria is reported to Nigerians, Nigeria to the world, and the world to Nigeria. It raises some of the most critical issues that most Nigerians would rather shy away from. It asks several questions that Nigeria and Nigerians pretend should not be asked. While it provides answers to some of these questions, it leaves several others to be debated by you and the rest of the world - from now till the next millennium. But, sincerely asking, how many people know that Lack of Political Inclusion, the presence of Exclusive Economic Institutions, and the enthronement of Sense of Entitlement are three legs of the tripod on which injustice stand? How many also understand that injustice thrives and gets entrenched when the brace of the tripod - the absence of Homogeneous Attraction is exploited within a political space? Thus, when a community, a state, a nation trudges on this tripod of monstrosities, the Purpose of Politics is subverted, as possessing or attaining anything is through a rat-race and unfair advantage.
CLINICAL POLITICS does not seek to forbid importation of political and economic ideas, institutions and paradigms by nations from nations. It, however, proposes that nations must not neglect their internal dynamics and peculiar contradictions, as doing so would amount to playing the ostrich. The book comes to act not only as an Asymmetric Dissection of Nigeria but to also institute a Differential Diagnosis of Nigeria's past, present and the future. The book is for every politically conscious person, policymakers, lawyers, economists, historians, researchers, culture custodian, mass communicators, among other public and academic intellectuals. The desire is that everyone reads the book and get annoyed, begin to rethink, and begin to act like never-before - intellectually, politically, and with common sense. You, your friends, your enemies, Nigeria, Africa and the world have a Message in Clinical Politics.
