This text deals with the historical intrigues, socio-economic cleavages, crime and public safety and other aspects of the nation-building of the country of Nigeria.
The question of Nigeria's failed attempt at nation-building is that of a full moon; clear enough even for a hypocritical sight. A critical examination of Nigeria over five decades of independence, suggests that Nigeria is still comfortably seated in the woods. Even as we move into the 21st Century, in this age of globalization, it seems to be gravitating around a peripheral approach to nation building.
With successive government and its people gracefully "enjoying" a utopian construct of the Nigerian "Great Nation", corruption, social disturbances and insecurity, unemployment and underemployment, endemic intergroup conflict, health hazard, constitutional challenge, weak educational system and structures, "gender gap", civic pride and fake living, malfunctioned transportation, political deceit, secessionist threat, pawn status and so forth continues to outplay nation building attempts.
There is optimism however, of a realistic construct of this ideal.
