Yet the country is plagued by problems that keep it from realizing its potential as a world power. Boko Haram, a radical Islamist insurrection centered in the northeast of the country, is an ongoing security challenge, as is the continuous unrest in the Niger Delta, the heartland of Nigerias petroleum wealth. There is also persistent violence associated with land and water use, ethnicity, and religion. In <em>Nigeria: What Everyone Needs to Know</em>, John Campbell and Matthew Page provide a rich contemporary overview of this crucial African country. Delving into Nigerias recent history, politics, and culture, this volume tackles essential questions related to widening inequality, the historic 2015 presidential election, the persistent security threat of Boko Haram, rampant government corruption, human rights concerns, and the continual conflicts that arise in a country that is roughly half Christian and half Muslim. With its continent-wide influence in a host of areas, Nigerias success as a democracy is in the fundamental interest of its African neighbors, the United States, and the international community. This book will provide interested readers with an accessible, one-of-a-kind overview of the country.</p>...4026471Nigeria312328https://www.gandhi.com.mx/nigeria-9780190658007/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3799073/ed390768-abba-4267-bc7e-6c6f3f0d633b.jpg?v=638385891668700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780190658007_W3siaWQiOiJmMGI5MmY2YS04MmM4LTRlYmEtOGM2OC02ODZmMWQzMzExODciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMyMCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE2LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjMwNCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMTBUMTE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780190658007_<p>As the Giant of Africa Nigeria is home to about twenty percent of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa, serves as Africas largest producer of oil and natural gas, comprises Africas largest economy, and represents the cultural center of African literature, film, and music.
