Igbo nation, modern statecraft and the geopolitics of national survival in a multiethnic Nigeria

Abstract

The central argument of the paper is that the Nigerian state has consistently failed in its efforts to address the
structurally-defective pattern of governance characterized largely by imbalance and lopsidedness, particularly in the
allocation and distribution of human and material (public) resources. A situation where a country of this nature is
being monopolized largely by one section or reign for the past four decades is a source of concern to many
especially those from the other geo-political zones.
