About the Book:


Voice for the Voiceless is Dr. Olusegun Bamidele Abejide's memoir to Nigerians that there is optimism for their democracy to blossom. Though crestfallen by the daily happenings in Nigeria, he is persuaded to think that the personalities he features in this book are central in strengthening the country's democracy. However, it is so unfortunate that the Nigerian citizenry rarely acknowledges them as campaigners of democracy. Determined to make an objective argument, he pointed out that Nigeria faces a myriad of challenges, like national security which is being threatened by terrorism and ethnic restiveness. Nigeria with a status of Africa's largest economy and most populous nation is also mentioned to be staring at an economic downturn while its leadership seems clueless on how to revive it to spur economic development and alleviate extreme poverty. Corruption further remains a major challenge to the progress of this country, and the lethargic approach to fight it is pushing many into extreme poverty. Generally, from Dr. Olusegun's standpoint, the country lacks good leadership, a circumstance that is strangling efforts to strengthen democracy. Nevertheless, the people (figures of Nigerian modern democracy) he has meticulously discussed are voicing important issues that can prosper the country. Indeed, Dr. Olusegun believes that fighting poverty, corruption, insecurity, and calling for good leadership is the only way that Nigeria can buttress its democracy.
