About the Book

Nigerians are the most enduring and the most important natural resource of their country. Affordable electricity, access to the Internet, and qualitative education will unleash forces that will be greater than oil and gas, and will outlive them. Subjugation of these potential energies amounts to acerebral myopia and a waste. The military has destroyed Nigeria's past; it must not be allowed to ruin the future. Give the poor and their children the "tool" they need, and they will fly over Nigeria, far above the dark clouds that cover it. Lord Lugard's Nigeria: A Century of Myopia and Acerebral Waste - A Perspective of a Post-Independence Nigerian (1914-2014) poses a lot of questions and provides a lot of answers Author Yinka Kolawole hails from Nigeria. His book offers an insightful look at his homeland, one of the most misunderstood countries on the planet. Lord Lugard's Nigeria: A Century of Myopia and Acerebral Waste - A Perspective of a Post-Independence Nigerian (1914-2014) sheds new light on the history this West African nation. Says the author, "Obstacles are those frightful things that you see when you take your eye off the goal. If the door does not open, knock again and again, and again, and again till it opens." Nigeria is potentially one of the giants of Africa and indeed the world. Myopia and acrebral waste by functional semi-illiterate military dictators in khaki has ruined Nigeria and continues to ruin the country. The instinct of the military is akin to those of armed robbers, as they operate by force of arms over unarmed and defenceless civilians. Military rule imposed by force of arms against unarmed and defenceless civilians is government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people. Civilian rule is not always democratic rule. Civilian rule imposed upon the people by vote-rigging machines called political parties are as effective as guns as an instrument of oppression of the people and looting of the treasury. Civilian government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people, is exactly the same as military government, as they are the masters of the people. The people did not appoint them, and the people cannot sack them. Nigeria should be governed with the best interests of children at the forefront of all that is done. Their anticipated future needs must be the pillar of every plan. Nigerians are the country's most important natural resource, and will last far longer than its gas and oil reserves. Treat the people well and the country will respond in kind. Above all, give the poor and their children the "tool" they need to fly Nigeria above the dark clouds that cover it.
