Nigeria - George Ehusani - Bog

Nigeria: More Years Eaten by the Locusts confronts us with hard truths about the Nigerian condition, and points us to the starting point for reconstruction, which is an admission of the moral evils that plague us and the responsibility for it, not as a metaphysical construct but as the sum total of our collective omissions. This is a welcome contribution to the existing literature on the state of the Nigerian union. ---From the Foreword by Dr. Reuben Abati, Radio & TV Anchor and former Chairman, Editorial Board of the Guardian Newspaper
George Santayana once wrote that, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The narrative in this collection should open us to the realization that if we are to be expurgated from the ongoing locust invasion, there is need for some moral fumigation... We may fail to heed this lesson too, and head towards further harm.---From the Introduction by Dr. Anthony Okeregbe,Department of Philosophy, University of Lagos.
