In the main, the book is a wake-up call to the youths who have left the fate of the country in the soiled
hands of corrupt and selfish politicians who have arrested the development of the country.
Convinced that the youths are very passionate about transforming Nigeria, the author is critical of the
lack of understanding of the rudiments of politics. He says that the involvement of the youths through
the social media is not sufficient to make any meaningful impact on the politics of the country.  
The author argues that it is incumbent on the people clamoring for the transformation of Nigeria from
poverty to prosperity to submit themselves to a credible electoral process by actively participating in the
election process with a more coordinated approach than ephemeral social media debates. Apart from
elections, the book focuses a lot on major policy issues.
In spite of the total domination of the political process by reactionary politicians, the author curiously
believes that rebellion or revolt will not work in Nigeria and that there are only two options - either to
defeat the old politicians in elections or give up in despair. Since despair is not an option, the author
wishes that the book will inspire Nigerians to urgent action. 
I believe that the book could not have been published at a more opportune time than now that the
National Assembly is under tremendous pressure to amend the Electoral Act 2010 and other relevant
provisions of the constitution in preparation for the 2023 general elections.
In view of the foregoing, I have no hesitation in recommending the book to politicians - young and old,
electoral bodies, political parties and other stakeholders in the politics of the country.

"Liberating Nigeria" is an apt title for this tour-de-force, a no-holds-barred analytical probe of the ills that have long plagued Africa's most populous and most potential-gifted nation. Debo Onifade does a masterful job of dissecting many of the country's problems, and showing how its political leadership could rise to address them.
This book is useful for those at all levels of expertise and familiarity with Nigerian politics, from the neophyte to the seasoned political hand.
Global in scope, comparing and contrasting Nigeria's political system to those in China, the United States, Pakistan and elsewhere - revealing sharp differences, similarities and areas for improvement and evolution.
"Liberating Nigeria" is more than analysis - it's also about action. It is full of well-researched and well-described prescriptions for boosting Nigeria's young but stunted democratic systems, and promoting good governance. Readers of "Liberating Nigeria," young and old, will be treated to a vision for what one of the world's fastest growing nations could be if its political system better reflected the ingenuity and compassion of its people. Such a "people's government," as described by Onifade, would not only propel Nigeria to fulfilling its potential as Africa's most populous country. Solutions for longstanding problems in Nigeria's electricity, education, health care, security, business and other sectors are methodically and thoroughly presented in this book. Nigeria's leaders - and everyday citizens - could benefit greatly from reading "Liberating Nigeria"
