Historical Dictionary of Nigeria
Historical Dictionary of Nigeria
Description
Nigeria was a creation of the British, following official colonial rule from the first decade of the 20th century.
Although colonial rule had unofficially commenced much earlier in association with missionaries, and finally amalgamated in 1914, bringing together for administrative convenience communities that were hitherto independent, what became Nigeria was based on close to 100 years of British values, behavior, orientation, and attitudes. Much of what Nigeria has become since its independence has been shaped by the British and the West. With a population above 200 million, a developing economy based majorly on oil, and a relatively stable democracy, Nigeria remains a strong leader in the comity of nations. Despite the myriad of challenges that the country faces, its importance both on the continent and on the global stage continues to grow.
Historical Dictionary of Nigeria, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and cross-referenced entries on important personalities and aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Nigeria.
