A Nation’s Promise Betrayed (1960–Present).
This study guide for "Nigeria's Unfinished Dream: A History of Hope and Betrayal" systematically explores Nigeria's post-independence journey, highlighting the initial optimism of 1960 and its subsequent erosion. It uses a quiz format with an answer key to detail critical historical moments, such as the betrayal seen in the 1964 elections and the impact of military coups, particularly concerning the pervasive issue of corruption. The guide then shifts to broader analytical questions for essay-style responses, encouraging deeper engagement with themes like the significance of the annulled 1993 election and the challenges faced in the current Fourth Republic. Concluding with a glossary, the document aims to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding Nigeria's persistent struggles with governance, unity, and the role of its youth in shaping its future.
