Abstract
It was a great pleasure and honour for me to read through the 340-page manuscript of the book entitled the Elusive Search for Nation Nigeria, written by a prolific author, people’s lawyer, astute farmer, philanthropist, relentless human rights crusader, cerebral legal scholar, Professor of the Practice of Law, a global citizen, and the Aare Bamofin of the Universe, Ambassador Aare Emmanuel Afe Babalola.
The book is about the big issue of the historical and contemporary threats facing the peace, unity and progress of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. There is no gainsaying that Nigeria is currently at a political, economic, social, and developmental crossroads. Poverty is at an alarming rate, several of our road, electricity, water, aviation and other infrastructure are time-worn, our educational systems keep nose diving, religious and ethnic intolerance are surging; criminality, insecurity, terrorism and kidnappings are at alarming levels. The future of the nation has never been so uncertain.
