yoruba

“Hauyoruba …is a complex yet lucid examination of the nature and character of the Nigerian search for true freedom and national ethos…The author first traces the development of Nigeria through its colonial, post-colonial and neo-colonial periods. He sees Nigeria torn by factions, each competing for social, political and economic hegemony. African nationalism and socialism are discussed at length, and these are contrasted with day-to-day needs of the people, most of who reject simple solutions and ideological slogans.
