Book Description
Talk Nigeria was created to help those that often travel to and from Nigeria and would like a more efficient way of communicating with the majority of Nigerians. This handbook will enable foreign-born Nigerians and their families to teach their native language to their children. Talk Nigeria makes it possible for them to not only learn the languages, but also to assist them with phonetic pronunciation of the words in their native languages. This is not just another boring language guide that is only based upon endless repetitions of language drills. It is a handbook that promotes quick and effective communication with Nigerians in the three major languages. It includes • easy-to-read translations from English into the three main languages spoken in Nigeria—Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa, • all translations include the phonetic pronunciation for each word and phrase; • translations for greetings, everyday phrases, and a reference dictionary. An innovative way to learn to speak a very common African language, this handbook is an indispensable guide to speaking the Nigerian languages correctly and effectively.

Book Description
The challenge of housing the citizenry has remained the intractable burden of most governments. The strategies employed by the respective governments are wide and diverse. What matters is the end result. The Nigerian government has been engaged in different forms of experiments from the precolonial days to date towards meeting this ever-increasing demand. With rising population and shrinking resources available to governments around the world, the option of partnering the private sector in a practical way became inevitable, in order to meet targeted housing stock. The Nigerian government through the instrument of the National Housing Policy with its two-pronged strategy set to overcome this challenge. The Housing Policy was widely applauded as a unique housing compendium and an ingenious housing delivery mechanism. However, so many years after, the housing fortune of Nigerians has weaned and is critically on the precipice. This book examines the inherent weaknesses in the legal and institutional framework with a view to jump-starting the housing sector, which is currently comatose.

Book Description
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the world's eighth largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant official corruption and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to Nigeria's recent troubles through an exploration of its pre-colonial and colonial past, and its journey from independence to statehood. By examining key themes such as colonialism, religion, slavery, nationalism and the economy, the authors show how Nigeria's history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential.
