Book Description
Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1909-1987) was the leader of Nigeria's Action Group party and the first indigenous Premier of Western Nigeria. He campaigned heavily for developmental change and implemented free primary education and child healthcare policies across the Western Region. Awolowo began work on this autobiography in 1957, at a time when Nigeria's request for self-government had been refused. The work was completed in 1960, the year Nigeria gained its long-awaited independence. Accordingly, this autobiography is dedicated to a 'new and free Nigeria', with the trust that its people will enjoy 'a more abundant life'. This determined, self-made leader here describes his youth, education and politics. He writes of his hope that this tale of stubborn perseverance can become 'a source of inspiration' in itself, and indeed, this account will fascinate anyone with an interest in Africa, the history and politics of Western Nigeria, or a love of insightful political autobiography.

Book Description
This volume honours one of the great scholars of our era, Professor Jacob Olupona. Although he has conducted significant portions of his career outside of Nigeria, he has not separated himself from his colleagues or from interests in religions in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa. His publications and presentations offer the international scholarly community important critical insights into a range of religious activities, life ways and ideas originating in Africans and the African Diaspora. In spite of the diversity in the thoughts and opinions expressed, and equally of the range of disciplines and topics contained in the book, one can say that the contributors have developed a shared concern about the role of African Indigenous Religious Traditions in the processes of development and the context within which it (development) had or is taking place. The book guides us to a deep understanding and appreciation of how Africans in their varied situations grapple with existential problems through philosophical ruminations, complex ritual processes, cultivated memory and organized coping strategies.

Book Description
These Treatises of the Odu of Ifá in volumes, are very complete, since in addition to dealing with the Afro-Cuban Odu of Ifá, they also contain treatises of Traditional African Ifá. Both bring together thousands of Pataki or Stories, thousands of Eboses and works, which will make it easier for you to deepen your study and resolve any situation that arises in the religious field of consulting the Ifá oracle. The Synthesis of the Treaties of the Odu of Ifá, already published by me previously, is nothing more than, as its name indicates, a synthesis of these treaties, whose objective was always to support to the Babalawo as a handy reminder, starting from the base, that these issues have been studied and deepened before. For these reasons, it is highly recommended to have this valuable information in your library. We have grouped only two Odu in each volume, to facilitate their acquisition.
