Sedated from Within: A catalogue of Nigeria’s litany of woes vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
If you are engaged in a search for a catalogue, a history, or a compendium of Nigeria’s woes, search no further. James Ifeanyichukwu Odife’s book, Sedated from Within is where to find it all.
“As President of Nigeria, in 1964, when the Federal Elections ended in a stalemate, Zik skillfully navigated the country out of a crisis that would most probably have ended in the disintegration of Nigeria. This he did by inviting Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa of the Northern Peoples Congress to form the government; to the chagrin of those who felt he had betrayed the NCNC/Action Group Alliance”.
From chapter seven, the book touches on the sore issue of the Hausa-Fulani agenda to Islamize Nigeria, profiling throes of violent crises that have wrecked the country, from the bloody Islamic proselytization of a large part of Nigeria, to the 1966 military coup, the Zagon Kataf crises, to the more recent insurgent Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.
“In Abuja, without being original beneficiaries of land allotments, the Igbos are now understood to be owners of up to 60 per cent of hotels in and around the metropolis. They also own properties in Kaduna, Benin, Akure, Ibadan, Ilorin, etc.” . This is Sedated from Within: A catalogue of Nigeria’s litany of woes. In his entire writing career, this reviewer has unreservedly advanced his conviction that Nigeria’s intractable problem has a spiritual dimension, and that the only chance of receiving healing is by complete repentance and restitution.
