Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982. This is the biography of Alhaji Shehu Shagari of Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and the world's third biggest democracy. He was elected in 1979, against four opponents, in the election which signified the peaceful end of thirteen and a half years of military rule. Alhaji Shehu was the first boy from Shagari, founded in what is now Sokoto State by his ancestors 170 years ago, to go to secondary school. Education has remained one of his main interests throughout a political career which included many ministerial posts. Thoughtful, scholarly and conciliatory he is now a world figure. The book presents the man and his policies against the lively political, social and economic background of a country of eighty million people, which is among the world's six most important oil exporters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nigeria hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) in 1977, it celebrated a global vision of black nationhood and citizenship animated by the exuberance of its recent oil boom. Andrew Apter's The Pan-African Nation tells the full story of this cultural extravaganza, from Nigeria's spectacular rebirth as a rapidly developing petro-state to its dramatic demise when the boom went bust. According to Apter, FESTAC expanded the horizons of blackness in Nigeria to mirror the global circuits of its economy. By showcasing masks, dances, images, and souvenirs from its many diverse ethnic groups, Nigeria forged a new national culture. In the grandeur of this oil-fed confidence, the nation subsumed all black and African cultures within its empire of cultural signs and erased its colonial legacies from collective memory. As the oil economy collapsed, however, cultural signs became unstable, contributing to rampant violence and dissimulation. The Pan-African Nation unpacks FESTAC as a historically situated mirror of production in Nigeria. More broadly, it points towards a critique of the political economy of the sign in postcolonial Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jos Boy's Tale of the Nigerian Biafra War is written to bring true reconciliation and to show those who are currently leading many countries of the world that, “you gain nothing by violence.” There is honour in peaceful settlement of any dispute. Onwusa Opiah in this book postulates that an inclusive government with qualified people in positions of authority, in line with their potential, would enable Nigeria to achieve greatness. He defines patriotism as the ability to give up selfish interest for the general good of the people. It encompasses taking action devoid of nepotism and the success of the country and its citizens. Writing this book is also aimed at correcting the erroneous impression held by many people in Nigeria that the war was fought because the Igbo people wanted to secede. As can explained in the book, this impression cannot be true as the Igbo people called home any place they found themselves in. It is written to provoke readers, that if within two and a half years, Biafra was able to build a refinery and manufacture other things, what stops Nigeria after sixty years of independence?

Book excerpt: Eric and Adam are two normal American boys except they are growing up throughout Africa. Even though their mother tries to keep their enthusiasm in check, the boys seek adventure in every single country they live. With a diplomat for a father, there's always somewhere new to go. In a series of vignettes shared by their mother, author Linda Pierce Plues, the boys display a knack for making friends. The first one they meet in Kinshasa is a baby pigmy chimp, which they don't hesitate bringing home. They also run into other animals, including a chameleon that bites and holds onto Eric's nose. But nothing surprises their mother more than a giant rat that Adam hunts down in Abidjan. The boys' exploits go beyond the imaginable, including a harrowing, one-hundred-mile ride from the Kano airport to their new home in Kaduna, Nigeria. Most families would have turned right around and headed back to the United States, but the Plues family press on until they must say goodbye to their beloved African friends.

Download or read book Araba Let's Separate written by Ayuba Mshelia and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Araba"(separation) was a word first used by rioters at a Bauchi demonstration signaling the Northern peoples' desire to break from the federal republic of Nigeria. The catalyst for its first use was the cold-blooded murder of some prominent Northern elites, including the Premier of the North, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, by predominantly Igbo officers, on January 15, 1966 Araba became a rallying cry for the North's disaffection with the state of affairs after Iron's promulgation of the obnoxious "decree No 34", making Nigeria a unitary state. In some quarters, it became resonant and synonymous with the rampant killing of Igbos in the North. These killings (similar things were happening to Northerners in the East) necessitated the mass movement of Igbos to the East and Northerners to the Northern territories. The North's disaffection with decree No 34 led to the overthrow of Iron's regime by predominantly Northern officers, led by, amongst others, M. Muhammed. However, military decorum and Northern political leadership demanded Muhammed defer to Gowon, even though Gowon was never part of the coup plan or a strong supporter of it. Indeed, if anything, he tried to quell it. The abrogation of decree No 34 and the creation of the twelve-state structure by Gowon was the final straw that broke the camel's back for Ojukwu, who consequently proclaimed his territory's secession from Nigeria and the creation of an independent republic of Biafra formed out of the Eastern states. The seed for a bloody civil war was thus cast, and for four years the East felt the worst for it. However, the magnanimity of a blanket amnesty given to all the rebel soldiers at the end of hostilities was admirable, and an intelligent piece of statecraft, responsible for the easy and smooth absorption of those in the East into the economic and political life of the country.

Download or read book Just Be written by Ambassador Erieka Bennett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a privilege to grow old gracefully. You must abandon all fears and stereotypes of Aging and plunge fully into it with enthusiasm, tact and even the childlike wonder of discovering new things. Just be. In her third book, JUST BE: AGING GRACEFULLY, Ambassador Erieka Bennett seeks to impart wisdom she has gained in living life fully, unapologetically and magically for 65 years. With an international career encompassing corporate communications and diplomacy throughout Africa, Erieka is well-positioned to present a broad view of what it takes to step into senior status feeling healthy and optimistic about the years ahead. It is my hope that this book will complement other material on spiritual, physical and emotional health that has begun to inspire a paradigm shift on the approach to aging well, she explains. Its a great privilege to grow older, and we can make it more fun by altering our thoughts and attitudes. Aging should be seen as a time to do what you love and just be. Contrary to the obnoxious idea that life is coming to an end when we see the first gray hair, we should prepare for and treat aging as the rewarding start of something new. Anyone can age gracefully, with the right tools. This must-read gem- Just Be: Aging Gracefully - is such a tool, especially for the man or woman over 50 but also for young adults. As Erieka explains, its never too early to start paving the way for rich, productive, healthy and beautiful twilight years.

Download or read book Civil Society and the Political Imagination in Africa written by John L. Comaroff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this important new collection explore the diverse, unexpected, and controversial ways in which the idea of civil society has recently entered into populist politics and public debate throughout Africa. In a substantial introduction, anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff offer a critical theoretical analysis of the nature and deployment of the concept—and the current debates surrounding it. Building on this framework, the contributors investigate the "problem" of civil society across their regions of expertise, which cover the continent. Drawing creatively on one another's work, they examine the impact of colonial ideology, postcoloniality, and development practice on discourses of civility, the workings of everyday politics, the construction of new modes of selfhood, and the pursuit of moral community. Incisive and original, the book shows how struggles over civil society in Africa reveal much about larger historical forces in the post-Cold War era. It also makes a strong case for the contribution of historical anthropology to contemporary discourses on the rise of a "new world order."

Download or read book The Village Boy written by Ayuba Mshelia and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story Village Boy is about the social and familial upheavals and confl icts caused by the introduction, in the early 20th century, by a group of Christian missionaries, of Western cultural traditions among an erstwhile peaceful and selfsuffi cient agricultural sedentary people. These cultural incursions led to the annihilation of the peoples native traditions and cultures, including those of Kachiya and Mbwarhatha(circumcision and grind room- the only place where on a daily basis young men could meet and fl irt with young women in the evenings) which were the sole socialization instruments of the tribe. The fulcrums of our culture and traditions that have sustained us for all these years can now no longer hold, commented the tribal elder, Tapchi, to a boyhood friend, Aji, fi ve years after the coming of the missionaries; everything is different and in a sorry chaos! This breakdowns led to the mass exodus of the youth to the distant emerging cities of Kano, Jos, Kaduna ,and, yes, even Lagos. These new immigrants, however, faced steep competition for jobs both from the citys residents and from other migrants who had converged on the cities from all corners of the countryside. Their meager education forced them into menial jobs, such as house boys or store clerks; few were able to secure even low-level government jobs. The social confl ict and upheaval was partially resolved, to some minimally acceptable levels, by the regular annual visits of those who had left the land, bringing with them gifts of tea, sugar, bread, and items of clothing which were generously and lavishly shared with relatives and neighbours. Some few who had made it, in the city even came with their own mettika (cars). But things are not always as gloomy as is refl ected in the lives of Madu, Dalla, and, to some extent, Hassana in the stories that follow. Some of the tribes migrant sons and daughters to the cities (like Madu in the story) took to politics and became active, relevant and prominent during the early years of self-rule and eventual Independence. Education has been, and continues to be, the social instrument of mobility for the children of the migrants and for those who remained on the land, as for example, Dalla. They can now be found in all sectors of the Nigerian society, as educators, business men, politicians and high cadre civil servants.
