While many recent collections have reheated the old paradigms - of the perils of federalism; corruption; ethnicity etc, our focus here is on encounter , that is, the nuance and complexity of how the state shapes society and vice-versa.Through this, wedepart from the standard state versus society approach that proves so limiting in explaining the African political landscape. 410 0$aAfrica connects. 607 $aNigeria$xHistory 607 $aNigeria$xPolitics and government$y1993-2007 607 $aNigeria$xPolitics and government$y2007- 676 $a966.905/4 701 $aAdebanwi$b Wale$01763130 701 $aObadare$b Ebenezer$01633726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821727403321 996 $aEncountering the Nigerian state$94203414 997 $aUNINA
