Nigeria, sometimes known as the "Giant of Africa," is a diversified country renowned for its extensive cultural history and lively traditions. Nigeria, a country of over 200 million people, is home to over 250 different ethnic groups, each of which has its own distinct language, culture, and beliefs. In the context of Nigeria, the idea of unity in variety is crucial because it captures the country's capacity for harmony and coexistence in the face of its diverse cultural heritage. Since numerous ethnic groups have lived in the area for many years, Nigeria's historical heritage is chiefly responsible for its cultural variety. The Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo are among the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, along with a large number of other minor tribes. Nigerians have embraced the idea of unity in diversity despite their differences.

After slave trade ended, the European objective created the geographical space they called Nigeria, and the occupants were imposed upon that they should make a nation, so they had made attempts motivated by the oppressive colonialist tendencies. The author had been born and he grew up in the struggle to make meaning of unity and national coexistence. The apparent confusion caused the experience of military in government and politics, resulting in a crippling civil war. The book is an interplay of the manner in which the social, political, and religious upheavals affected and shaped the personal and career development of the author and his generation regarding the failures of government policies, causes, and possible solutions based on constructive policy formulation and implementation.
