And Things Continues to Fall Apart: How a Nation Lost Its Way

“And Things Continue to Fall Apart” offers an unflinching account of Nigeria’s journey from the early promise of independence to the reality of chronic dysfunction. Through detailed chapters, it reveals how political mismanagement, rampant corruption, and the erosion of key institutions have shaped a society where graduates often remain unemployed, the justice system struggles under political pressure, and many citizens feel compelled to seek opportunities abroad. Real-life stories and historical insights provide a vivid sense of how what began as a hopeful vision slowly collapsed into disillusionment.

Yet this work also highlights the steadfast determination of individuals and communities who are driving change. From tales of whistleblowers challenging corrupt systems to grassroots movements pushing for true accountability, the book shows the power of citizens to transform governance. It closes with a heartfelt call for collective responsibility, urging Nigerians and Nigerians in diaspora to join in rebuilding the foundations of a functioning state—one where institutions serve the greater good and future generations can thrive.
