Essays on Democracy, Culture, Peace and Social Development in Nigeria
Illumination. Essays on Democracy, Culture, Peace and Social Development in Nigeria
is a fascinating collection of essays on the democratic process, peace
practice, cultural consciousness and social development in Nigeria. In
the first of a 4-volume collection of essays, the author argues that
Nigeria’s accelerated social progress and political and economic
transformation will be best served by the intellect, vision, labour and
commitment of her enlighteners; that is, the men and women who possess
the gift of social epiphany in abundance, and who can successfully
bridge the distance between the “ideas in the margin” and the operation
of the statecraft.
Illumination. Essays on Democracy, Culture, Peace and Social Development in Nigeria
is an illuminating work that will challenge the consciousness of the
leaders and the led in the direction of critical social practice as well
as help to lay the foundation for a full interrogation of the norms and
content of Nigeria’s democratic transformation.
