The 2007 General Elections in Nigeria: An Account of the Politics of Personal Rule in an African Country by a former Presidential Aide
This article is an insider's account of the vicious political struggles that shaped the April 2007 general elections in Nigeria which were adjudged to be fraudulent.

Development Hegemony and the Development Crisis in Africa: The Importance of Indigenous Knowledges and Practices in the Making of Food Policy
The Appropriation of Difference: State and the Construction of Ethnic Identities in Nigeria
With an analysis of the construction of ethno-political identities in Nigeria, in this article I show that ethnic identities in postcolonial, multicultural societies are often constructed by the state and the elites that control it and use state power for accumulation and to maintain distributional inequities.

It also tried to regulate production through public ownership, indigenisation of foreign enterprises, price…
