Nigeriana – Volume 1: The Micropedia –

“This first volume – The Micropedia – is a teaser and precursor to the complete 10-set Encyclopaedia Nigeriana. Here, we have randomly selected a number of mini-articles on various aspects of the Nigerian experience: remarkable personalities, art and culture bits, cities and states, landmarks, tourist spots, cuisine, and a chronological account of a number of defining moments in our nation’s history. All articles are arranged in alphabetical order, while the historical moments are arranged chronologically starting at the article on History.

We believe that this material will be of immense benefit as an educational supplement for students and young Nigerians, as well as a refreshing reference resource for the older generations. In our humble opinion, the contents of this volume represent the minimum amount of information every Nigerian should have and imbibe about the fatherland, and we hope that it will contribute towards the revival of the nations’ reading culture.”
