Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From beginning to the end, Nigerian Public Discourse is a poignant insider's dissection of Nigeria's hydra-headed socio-political situation. Through courageous and radical intellectual analyses, the author questions the collective dissemination of myth garnished as facts in the discourse of national enterprise, a misadventure that has negatively impacted national development. Thus, the author aims at reframing national discourses away from misconceived narratives and nebulous data brandishing in order to engender national growth and development.Issues bordering on national growth-rule of law, democracy, infrastructure, economy, constitution, judiciary, security, citizenship, civic responsibilities, labour, corruption (in all forms), and education-are raised, with the author providing a prism on how to navigate these terrains as he advances cultural realities as a way out of the woods. The author advocates appreciating the country and her institutions while not foreclosing the possibilities for improvements.Quite illuminating on nation-building, this insightful book deconstructs the intricacies of governance vis-a-vis its challenges. The author opens the readers' minds to the ignorance and misconceptions in which our concerns are rooted, and guides our outlooks as we are confronted with choices on which way to go in search of better lives and alternatives for our country.The book, presented from the viewpoints of an author who many describe as politician, lawyer, engineer, counsellor and teacher par excellence that is passionate about the Nigerian project, provides a cautionary message on how we can collectively build a country that we can be proud of. It is a call to the citizens and the government to value national co-existence and collective sharing.As a pragmatic approach to governance, every Nigerian will benefit from reading this book, and its epistemologies will be a great gain for the nation.…
