Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN "ONE" NIGERIAA Reflection on Federalism, Identity, Justice and the Future of Nigeria>"One Nigeria" isn't a fact. It's a sales pitch and this book is the invoice nobody wanted to see.

For over a century, Nigerians have been told that unity is sacred, that the amalgamation of 1914 was destiny, and that questioning the union is treason. This book takes that inheritance apart, brick by brick, tracing how "One Nigeria" was manufactured, who it has served, and who it has cost.

From Awolowo's forgotten federalist blueprint to Ahmadu Bello's Northernisation project, from the military's slow execution of true federalism to the psychology of fear and loyalty that keeps the illusion alive today, this is a systematic dismantling of the myths that hold Nigeria together on paper and apart in practice.

Inside, you'll find:

- How "unity" became a tool of central power, not a reflection of shared nationhood- Why Sharia, federalism, and the constitution keep colliding and what that collision reveals- The resurgence of ethnic nationalities and regional consciousness across the country- Real models, from Switzerland to India, for what ethnolinguistic federalism actually looks like- A blueprint for confederation, restructuring, and regional sovereignty before collapse decides for us

This is not a book about hating any region, tribe, or religion. It's an indictment of a system, one built to manufacture consent, not consensus and a case for what could replace it.

If you've ever asked why does this keep failing and been told to just believe harder, this book is your answer.
