Modern Nigeria: Understanding Modern Nations (Bloomsbury, 2024) is a collaborative effort that explores Nigeria's historical context and emphasises the importance of Nigeria's diverse historical roots to understanding its current identity with the aim of highlighting the necessity for modern Nigerians to recognise their uniqueness and engage in societal contributions. The book dwells on the aspects of the Nigerian historical culture that enhance social cohesion in the nation, which could be imbibed in the present-day Nigeria. These include histories of various empires and kingdoms to provide background for appreciating Nigeria’s modern identity. Presenting the backgrounds of the Nigerian History, the authors project how people co-existed in spite of ethnic differences. They reinforced this point by stating that knowledge of history is vital for modern Nigerians to understand their uniqueness and potential for future development (pp. xiv-xv).

Among other things, the book dwells on the socioeconomic and political characteristics of Nigeria including the election dynamics and leadership impacts on citizens' lives. Among other things, the book highlights aspects of the Nigeran popular culture, including music and sports, relationship and marriage.
