It is a searing look at how power is performed, negotiated and abused in private and in public; in politics, business, religious institutions and in homes. From the exploration of religious hypocrisy to inequality in matters of the heart, the collection is a jab at Nigerian society and what it means to be a Nigerian. Beyond poking fun at the holders of power, it is a summons, a provocation and a call for introspection among all levels of society. As is often said in Nigeria, when you point with one finger, there are four others pointing back at you.
This engrossing read is a must-have for Nigerians on how to move beyond shame and arrogance, and for non-Nigerians, a uniquely informative guide on how to accept their awe and envy of Nigerians. It is an invitation for everyone to embrace and rejoice in their inner Nigerian.
How to he a Nigerian is a hilarious guide book for Nigerians and foreigners on the conduct, demeanour, mien, carriage, actions, misdoings, misconduct and misbehaviours of the Nigerian adult. First published in 1966, the content is still as relevant today as when it was first published. Nigerians have only gone to higher heights in portraying and exhibiting the same traits captured on these pages. ..
