This edition of Book review, zooms in on Minority rights which has been a matter of intense debates ever since Nigeria came into existence.
And we will be doing that via Reverend Father Dr. Samuel Udogbo’s book titled “Minority Discontent in Nigeria”.
This thesis focuses on the Ogoni minority ethnic group in Rivers State, which forms part of the Eastern Niger Delta, Nigeria.
It explores the Ogoni people’s struggle for survival by tracing the problems of the Ogoni to British colonial rule and its political effect on the minority groups in Nigeria and the post-colonial reality of maintaining equality between the majority ethnic groups and underprivileged minorities as the Ogoni people.
We caught up with Reverend Father Dr Samuel Udogbo and in this first part of the interview he highlights several important problems plaguing contemporary Nigeria.
