The book delves into the challenges faced by African countries, particularly Nigeria, in managing diversity and population dynamics. The narrative proposes that iCode be used as an alternative to democracy for African countries, aiming for inclusive governance and addressing diversity challenges. Emphasizing ethical values, the book advocates for restructuring Nigeria. It explores digital-age civilization, transparency, and mutual trust, offering a step-by-step procedure for implementation. The book envisions oxide connecting individuals, forming development villages, and promoting global development. The author criticizes democracy's struggles in Africa, emphasizing the need for ethical values and codes of conduct. It proposes a solution for inclusive development rooted in a digital-age civilization.
 
iCode by Bede Ihentuge Ekeh is a visionary exploration into an alternative governance system, presenting a compelling case for a new model in the digital age of civilization. The book draws extensively from the author's research on inclusive growth and development, showcasing a deep understanding of Nigeria's governance challenges. The iCode system, introduced as a solution, revolves around ethical values such as accountability and justice, aiming to eliminate divisive factors like tribalism.
 
One of the book's strengths lies in its detailed analysis of Nigeria's historical and present political systems, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Through case studies and examples, the author illustrates the drawbacks of democracy in diverse ways, emphasizing the need for a new governance concept.
 
I enjoyed every aspect of the book; there wasn't anything I disliked. Ekeh's emphasis on the importance of maintaining local identities within the iCode system adds a nuanced layer to the proposed methodology. The book outlines a step-by-step procedure for implementing iCode in Nigeria's government setting, providing a structural and operational framework through the LogOn Global Foundation.
 
The book appears to have undergone less than professional editing, revealing noticeable loopholes in its presentation. Notably, at the conclusion of Chapter Two, incomplete sentences create confusion as the narrative abruptly transitions to Chapter Three. A similar issue is observed in the opening paragraph of Chapter Six, where incomplete sentences precede an abrupt shift to the subsequent subtitle. Despite these editing shortcomings, the book earns a commendable rating of 4 out of 5 stars. This positive evaluation is attributed to the evident depth of research, which contributes to a well-structured and logically progressing exploration of ideas and concepts. The author's passion for reducing global inequality, particularly in Africa, is evident throughout the narrative. I recommend this book to readers who are interested in addressing global inequality, with a particular focus on challenges faced by African nations, and readers with an interest in exploring innovative solutions to governance issues.

The African continent, for a very long time, has been plagued by a lot of crises, ranging from religious to political and ethnic, and what have you. This author has come up with iCode as a potential solution. I would like to know what that entails and how feasible it is.

The book presents a comprehensive exploration of inclusive governance through the iCode system, focusing on ethical values such as justice and accountability, aimed at reducing tribalism and fostering unity.
