NIGERIANS: A Self-Organising People

Why is Nigeria not yet a failed state? This book explores the question.

The author’s basic thesis is that Nigeria’s self-organising impulse is what has been preventing Nigeria from becoming a failed state, and is indeed behind whatever successes (and there are many) individual Nigerians and Nigeria are achieving.
In spite of the chaos and disorder in the nation’s public sector, the volatile nature of the economy, and societal stressors of various dimensions, Nigerians find the impetus to organise life by themselves and for themselves. And this, they do, in every sphere of existence, at individual and group scales.
