4.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for new expatriates, 14 Feb 2008
By Mr. Peter Roberts (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Trouble with Nigeria (Paperback)
Although the book is relatively old (published 1983) it continues to be distressingly relevant to the actual Nigeria. Military dictators have disappeared (again) and been replaced by democratically-elected presidents (again), but this has had little effect on the basic problems identified by this book. The author says things that only a Nigerian could get away with - and says them well, as you would expect of Achebe.

It is essential reading for anyone who is planning to work in Nigeria and more so for anyone planning to do any business there. This book makes everything a lot more understandable and thus manageable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest & Thoughtful, 5 Dec 2008
By J. R. Skelton (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Achebe moves away from his 'factional' accounts of post-colonial Nigeria and has written a thought provoking and accurate account of Nigeria & it's issues today - although of course it wasn't written today; it was written in 1983 but all the issues & failures he highlights are just as relevant in 2008. A short, but soberng and informative little book.
