Leadership Failure and Nigeria's Fading Hopes
Leadership Failure and Nigeria's Fading Hopes is a heart-rending lamentation by a patriotic Nigerian elder statesman, Femi Okurounmu, on how his country, through unbridled corruption and the selfishness of successive leaders, has dashed the hopes of not just Nigerians, but the entire black race and reinforced the prejudices of racists who raise doubts concerning the intellectual capacity of black people. The book consists of excerpts from a critical but constructive weekly column, Patriotic Punches which the author wrote between 2004 and 2009 in the Nigerian Tribune newspaper. It chronicles incidents of corruption in government, laments the corruption of the entire society and all its instit...
How to Become a Big Man in Africa
Can subalterns transform themselves into members of the elite, and what does it take to do so? And how do those efforts reveal the nature of ethnic politics in postcolonial Africa? How to Become a Big Man in Africa: Subalternity, Elites, and Ethnic Politics in Contemporary Nigeria examines these questions by revealing how, through ethno-regional conflict, violence and cultural activities, an artisan, Gani Adams, transformed himself into the holder of the most prestigious chieftaincy title among the Yoruba. Addressing persistent gaps in anthropological studies of the subaltern and of "big men" in politics through in-depth biography and rich social history, Wale Adebanwi follows Adams and othe...
World Terrorism: Diagnosis And Path To Global Peace
The author posits that there is no common definition of terrorism, currently afflicting Nigeria, Africa and the wider world. He seeks to find the root causes which he defines as religion, mis-governance and the oppression by the powerful of the less powerful countries. He considers religion within four areas: Christianity, Islam, traditional religions and other foreign religions. The fourteen chapters cover Cause and Effect; the Rescue in Religion; God’s Incomprehensibility and Enigmatism: Further Explorations; God’s Manual, Ordinances and their Authenticity in Examination; Who is Liable? God or Man; Evolutions of Christianity and Islam; Scriptural Discrepancies and their Inherent Hazards; “God must be Crazy”; Terror on the Spree; Africa in Periscope: Facts and Figures; Nigeria: A Case Study; Israeli-Palestine Conflict; My Proffered Elixir.
Honour in African History
This is the first published account of the role played by ideas of honour in African history from the fourteenth century to the present day. It argues that appreciation of these ideas is essential to an understanding of past and present African behaviour. Before European conquest, many African men cultivated heroic honour, others admired the civic virtues of the patriarchal householder, and women honoured one another for industry, endurance, and devotion to their families. These values both conflicted and blended with Islamic and Christian teachings. Colonial conquest fragmented heroic cultures, but inherited ideas of honour found new expression in regimental loyalty, respectability, professionalism, working-class masculinity, the changing gender relationships of the colonial order, and the nationalist movements which overthrew that order. Today, the same inherited notions obstruct democracy, inspire resistance to tyranny, and motivate the defence of dignity in the face of AIDS.
