Buharism
Author: Emeka Nwankwor
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525583247
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book poses the question: When does a President lose the moral authority to lead? • Is it when he steals an election and usurps the presidential mandate the people had given his primary challenger? • Is it when he orchestrates sectarian-inspired massacre of his people and turns his country into the biggest human abattoir on the face of the earth? • Is it when he bares his fangs on peaceful protesting citizens but turns a blind eye on terrorists who butcher defenseless citizens? • Is it when he creates industrial-scale poverty in proportions that makes his country the world’s largest concentration camp of people living in extreme poverty? This book provides an overview of Nigeria’s history to the present day, with specific focus on the current government led by President Muhammadu Buhari. It catalogs the unmitigated failures and the endless buffoonery that have become the hallmark of Buhari’s government since 2015. As a political philosophy, Buharism is the art and science of incompetency. It means failure, and there is nothing rational about it. But as Nigeria dithers on a precipice, Buharism: Nigeria’s Death Knell offers a corrective measure to rescue the country. Rebellion against failure and incompetence is an act of honor. This honor is intrinsic to the rebel the way treachery and sycophancy are intrinsic to those who seek to entrench and sustain the status quo. Weaving between logical analysis and personal experience, the author draws upon a series of insights to offer perspective on why Nigerians are morally obligated to rebel against the “leadership” of an illegitimate President. It’s time to kindle a fire that will make Nigerians understand that it would be a monumental mistake to sit idly by a calendar and countdown the days to May 29, 2023. Nigeria is at risk of an imminent collapse. To sacrifice President Buhari and his government is national interest premised on realism.

Underage and Under Fire
Author: Allan C. Stover
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476615306
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This work tells the personal stories of boys and girls who left home and enlisted in the U.S. military at ages 11 to 16. Many had difficult home lives, some wanted adventure or a better future, but all wanted to serve their country. They missed high school proms, adolescent years with family and friends, homecoming parades, and graduation ceremonies. They served aboard ships and submarines, on airplanes, and at faraway bases and battlefields. Some became prisoners of war. Many performed above and beyond. Jack Lucas earned the Medal of Honor at Iwo Jima six days past his 17th birthday. Calvin Graham enlisted at age 12 and was wounded at Guadalcanal aboard the USS South Dakota. His story was made into a movie starring Rick Schroder. A 13-year-old girl enlisted but was later discovered and sent home from Europe. General Eisenhower told her, "Go home and grow up, little girl, we need more soldiers like you." One underage veteran became a senator, another, a governor, still another a Chief of Naval Operations. This book reveals why and how they got in, and what happened to them when they were there.

National Service
Author: Colin Shindler
Publisher: Sphere
ISBN: 0748126007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Permission to speak, Sah! In the aftermath of the Second World War, over two million men were conscripted to serve in Britain's armed services. Some were sent abroad and watched their friends die in combat. Others remained in barracks and painted coal white. But despite delivering such varied experiences, National Service helped to shape the outlook of an entire generation of young British males. Historian Dr Colin Shindler has interviewed a wide range of ex-conscripts, from all backgrounds, across all ranks, and spanning the entire fourteen years that peacetime conscription lasted, and captured their memories in this engrossing book. From them, we experience the tension of a postwar Berlin surrounded by Russians, the exotic heat and colour of Tripoli in 1948, the brief but intense flashpoint of the Suez Crisis, and the fear of the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya. But we also hear about the other end of the scale, the conscripts who didn't make it outside the confines of their barracks, or in one case, beyond his home town. Through these conversations we learn as much about the changing attitudes of servicemen as war became more of a distant memory as we do about the varied nature of their experiences. We see, too, the changing face of British society across these pivotal years, which span everything from the coronation of Elizabeth II, to the birth of rock 'n' roll, to the beginning of the end of the Empire. The stories within these pages are fascinating. And they deserve to be told before they are lost forever.
