Oil Wars in the Niger Delta: 1849 -2009 focuses on the perennial Niger Delta; Question over justice, equity, equality, development, quality of life, peace and more, in a common fatherland or motherland. It did not find quick and widely agreed answers in what eventually became the Nigerian polity of ethnic pluralism and cultural diversity. But in this competently researched, analytical and authoritative study; it has received the attention it deserved since the era of Consular Jurisdiction in 1849. The searchlight has focused, appropriately and adequately, on the germane issues of micro-nationalism and macro-nationalism.
