Beyond the President.

For sixty years, Nigerians gaze has been fixed on a single point: Aso Rock.

We wake up and check the news for the President’s name. We go to bed cursing the Presidency for the price of bread, the state of the national grid, and the insecurity at our borders. We have turned the Office of the President into a national secular god an entity solely responsible for our salvation or our doom.

But this is a convenient lie.

While we are busy looking at the "One," we are failing by the 9,000. These are the leaders who live in our shadows, who sit in offices ten minutes from our front doors, and who sign away our future while we are busy arguing about who occupies the Villa.

This book is not about the man at the top. It is about the thousands of men and women who hold the actual keys to your daily life the ones you have stopped looking for,  the ones you have refused to see.
