About the book

An eye-opening study of why Nigeria's three dominant sub-national groups - the Hausa-Fulani of the Northern Region, the Igbo of the Eastern Region and the Yoruba of the Western Region - were collectively unable to reconcile their conflicting visions of Nigerian nationhood. This situation forced the Nigerian military to topple the government of Abubakar Tafawar Belawa within six months of Nigerian independence.
