The Relevance of Philosophy
The Relevance of Philosophy By: Professor Sylvanus Ifeanyichukwu Nnoruka The Relevance of Philosophy defends the assertion that philosophy is not a theoretical irrelevant enterprise. Philosophy is relevant to life, and this book makes use of phenomenological and hermeneutical methods to offer solutions to the social, political, and economic problems in Africa, specifically Nigeria. With regard to Nigeria, many are of the opinion that the problem is simply and uniquely that of leadership. Others think it is ethnicity while some opine that it is lack of authentic education method. The articles in the book tackle these and other relevant problems. The authors recommend this book to all Nigerians, and indeed every African. The authors believe it is not enough to keep bemoaning the regrettable events of the past which have crippled Africa’s development. Rather, through critical reasoning, they aim to generate unique solutions to Nigeria’s problems.
Military-Media Relations in Post-Colonial Nigeria

Of Minstrelsy and Masks
This collection is dedicated to a distinguished scholar and writer who for a quarter of a century wrote consistently on African literature and the arts and was a major voice in Nigerian literary circles. Ezenwa-Ohaeto made a mark in contemporary Nigerian poetry by committing pidgin to written form and, by so doing, introducing different creative patterns. He also saw himself as a 'minstrel', as someone who wanted to read, express and enact his work before an audience. First and foremost, however, Ezenwa-Ohaeto was someone who 'un-masked' ideas and meanings hidden in the folds of literary works and made them available to an international academic public. With his outstanding work on Chinua Ac...
Of the Deepest Shadows & the Prisons of Fire
Of the Deepest Shadows and The Prisons of Fire is a literary canvas of leaders who have affected humanity in very serious and unquestionable ways. The core of this artistic engagement is the destiny of the black world. There are tangential departures into territories with crises the world cannot afford to ignore. The poet visits each leader, living or dead, with equal passion. His curious brush is delicate, ecstatic, melancholic or even celebratory depending on what image or circumstance he pans into view. This corpus comes with the characteristic anguish and tenderness of a very sensitive and caring mind...
The Eagle and the Springbok
Nigeria and South Africa account for about a third of Africa’s economic might, and have led much of its conict management initiatives over the last three decades. Both account for at least 60 per cent of the economy of their respective sub-regions in West and Southern Africa. The success of political and economic integration in Africa thus rests heavily on the shoulders of these two regional powers who have both collaborated and competed with each other in a complex relationship that is Africa’s most indispensable. Nigeria remains among South Africa’s largest trading partners in Africa, while both countries have cooperated in building the institutions of the African Union (AU). Both countries have also had a tremendous cultural impact on the continent in terms of Nollywood movies and the expansion of South Africa’s corporate sector into Africa. This book assesses Nigeria/South Africa relations in the areas of politics, economics, and culture within the context of rivalries and hegemony. Biographical proles are also provided of important gures from both countries.

Don't Let Them Die
Africa's healthcare crises is well documented, even if not always accurately. What is undeniable is that millions of Africans are dying - from HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis, malaria and other illnesses - some of them easily preventable.

He also discusses how a different form of policy intervention can make all the difference.
