In writing this authoritative source of reference for students of Law and legal practitioners in Nigeria and elsewhere, Sir Udo Udoma realised a youth ambition he developed as a Reid's Professor's Prizeman of the Law School of the University of Dublin, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, in the 1940s, to one day write a book on Constitutional Law. HISTORY AND THE LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION OF NIGERIA is the result of his study and analysis of Nigeria's constitutional history that involved research work of great magnitude into the various nooks and crannies in which the origin of the country, Nigeria, lies buried. It allows the reader to understand and appreciate some of the problems that still confront Nigeria, as a country in the continent of Africa, particularly those of unity and stability.

"It presents an alternative perspective on the end of Empire by focusing upon one aspect of constitutional decolonization and the importance of the local legal culture in determining each dependency's constitutional settlement, and provides a series of empirical case studies on the incorporation of human rights instruments into domestic constitutions when negotiated between a state and its dependencies. More generally this book highlights Britain's human rights legacy to its former Empire."--BOOK JACKET.

Nigeria at 100 is an attempt to document in modest and constructive language Nigeria's journey as a modern nation in the past 100 years, highlighting the landmark events during this period. the book is divided into four parts with a total of 22 chapters. The first part, with seven chapters deals with the historical background starting with the early history and covering the pre-colonial years, independence and the challenges of nationhood, military intervention in politics and governance, the civil war, the return to democracy and the continuing challenges of development. Part 2, which examines the major impediments to nation building, has a total of five chapters covering such important subjects as the leadership problem, the negative problem of ethnicity, the perennial and the disturbing problem of corruption. Part 3 makes a case for healing our national wounds through national reconciliation, transformation and patriotism. This part of the book also makes a case for a united, viable and stable Nigerian nation. Part 4 attempts to answer the question as to which direction Nigeria should be heading as a nation after the centenary celebrations. Since the emphasis in our general theme is change to a better society by way of transformation and reformation, especially in the critical areas identified in this book, this section starts with the role of the family as the unit that lays the foundation and sets the values that influence the character, judgement and behaviour of our young people who will subsequently become important citizens and members of the leadership elite.
