Karl Marx Alienation and the Nigerian Workers
The objective of this paper is the analysis and explication of the notion of 'alienated labour' in relation to the situation of the Nigerian workforce, as well as the description of possible ways of outmode alienated labor. This paper seeks to raise the profile of Marx's theory of alienation in theorising inequalities and problems Nigerian workers faces every day. It will do so in three main stages. Firstly, it considers what alienation, work and work process is. Secondly, it investigates the Nigerian workers and the Nigerian economy in the light of Marx alienation under capitalism. Thirdly, the paper ends by reviewing Marx alienation and solution he offers to end alienation. This paper acknowledges Marx idea of alienation but differs in his cause and solution for alienation of the Nigerian workers.
