Reflections

Reflections: A Collection of Short Essays contains thoughts on Nigeria’s contemporary political issues, commentaries on relevant political news headlines in the last four years and ideas on how Africa’s most populous nation can reach its full potentials through the implementation of well-thought-out public policies. Wale Olaitan weaved together analyses of recent political events in Nigeria laced with humour often associated with political discourse among millions of social media users in the country. This book particularly explores the growing subjectivity of truth in this era of “Fake News” and its close links to the— “Hailing Hailers “and the “Wailing Wailers” followership phenomenon in Nigeria. There is also a bit of international flavour in the book, with commentaries on a few international news headlines. No matter your level of interest in politics, this is a book for you. The author’s simple and captivating writing style makes the book a good source of information for students of contemporary politics and those who are interested in good governance in the developing world.
