A superb essay in political economy,very impressive in its exploration of the dynamic relationship between English and Igbo political and economic resourcefulness and manoeuvres in the context of the socio-economic development of the geographical entity that became Nigeria.
The essay examines the pre-colonial,colonial and immediate post-colonial periods in depth but does not discuss the contributions of Igbos to Nollywood and the implications of that contribution.Nor does it examine relationships between Igbos and 419-Advance Fee Fraud,which may also be seen as a form of entrepreneurship.
I suspect that his analysis might be overly dependent on a materialist dialectical model and is rather deterministic in his analysis of Igbo entrepreneurship.Perhaps the work would be more rounded if the relationship between classical Igbo world views,egalitarianism and entrepreneurship were integrated into the analysis.
