Aprašymas

The Crossroads of a Giant: Is Perching on Edge Nigeria's Comfort Zone? is a collection of essays from the author's newspaper column and other pieces published across various media platforms between 2017 and 2025. Though most essays focus on challenges in Nigeria's nation-building process, some also address democracy, international relations, and the country's political economy. The essays portray Nigeria as seemingly making the precipice its comfort zone - neither falling over the cliff nor finding its feet to walk confidently on firm ground._______________________________ Jideofor Patrick Adibe is a Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria, and Extraordinary Professor of Political Studies and International Relations at North West University, Mafikeng, South Africa.
