About the Book
Peace from pieces (incorporating biafra: a parody of conflicts) conceptualizes our democracy from theory to practice, with special regard to our plural society.
"A house divided against itself falls..." a plural society cannot afford a self -centred or egocentric behavior among its composite groups, if it hopes to be great, with the predominant groups asserting their prerogatives while the minorities are for ever on the defensive for their rights No one cares for the common good. Yet somehow, everyone expects the common good to be preserved! In this circumstance the author urges a recourse to divine wisdom. God puts us together, He surely wills this earth to be for our common good.
In part II which stands out as a political history of modern Nigeria, the largest country in Africa by population and the largest black community in the world, the author, in retrospects coupled with persevering research of several years, shows how these forces play out from the birth of the nation in 1960 to its near disintegration by 2023. He identified the gestation of the separatist movements, especially the Biafran Secessionists and counsels the adoption of righteousness (Matthew 7:12).
About the Book
Democracy: demos or demons? is a critique of our practise of democracy, matching the expedients of practice with the imperatives of theory, pointing out the truth, the fable, and the fallacies.
The book goes beyond that, suggesting fundamental and pragmatic changes, some mandatory, and others optional to make our democracy realize the goals set for it. These goals are not the same in all societies as they vary with different levels of economic and social development. A customized democracy is the answer.
The book could pass for a drawing board agenda of a multi -racial or multi -ethnic sovereignty parley, where the goal is for a just, fair and resilient nation; just as it would be beneficial to a society that have developed its democratic structures to maturity level.
