This 2023 handbook edited by Kincaid and Van Bouwel provides a philosophical approach to many problems of theory and methods in political science. Readers will surely find a lot of chapters relevant to their own research.

When dy feel animosity, it’s deeply felt. I encourage u to embrace &understand d culture. One aspect of d typical Nigerian experience that I choose not to adopt is d spirit of competition. While competition can be beneficial, I prefer to avoid unnecessary rivalries from my life.

[Ikeoluwapo B. Baruwa @ikbouncehub]

A heartfelt post about my beloved country on LinkedIn. If you have a Nigerian friend, cherish them; their love is genuine. At times, you might misinterpret their affection as flirtation simply because you haven’t experienced such warmth before (I may not be speaking for all).
