Book Description
Nigeria is potentially one of the giants of Africa and indeed the world. Myopia and acrebral waste by functional semi-illiterate military dictators in khaki has ruined Nigeria and continues to ruin the country. The instinct of the military is akin to those of armed robbers, as they operate by force of arms over unarmed and defenceless civilians. Military rule imposed by force of arms against unarmed and defenceless civilians is government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people. Civilian rule is not always democratic rule. Civilian rule imposed upon the people by vote-rigging machines called political parties are as effective as guns as an instrument of oppression of the people and looting of the treasury. Civilian government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people, is exactly the same as military government, as they are the masters of the people. The people did not appoint them, and the people cannot sack them. Nigeria should be governed with the best interests of children at the forefront of all that is done. Their anticipated future needs must be the pillar of every plan. Nigerians are the country’s most important natural resource, and will last far longer than its gas and oil reserves. Treat the people well and the country will respond in kind. Above all, give the poor and their children the “tool” they need to fly Nigeria above the dark clouds that cover it.

Book Description
For much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Britain was the dominant world power, its strength based in large part on its command of an Empire that, in the years immediately after World War I, encompassed almost one-quarter of the earth’s land surface and one-fifth of its population. Writers boasted that the sun never set on British possessions, which provided raw materials that, processed in British factories, could be re-exported as manufactured products to expanding colonial markets. The commercial and political might was not based on any grand strategic plan of territorial acquisition, however. The Empire grew piecemeal, shaped by the diplomatic, economic, and military circumstances of the times, and its speedy dismemberment in the mid-twentieth century was, similarly, a reaction to the realities of geopolitics in post-World War II conditions. Today the Empire has gone but it has left a legacy that remains of great significance in the modern world. The Historical Dictionary of the British Empire covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Britain.

Book Description
For the past 50 years, and I am now in my mid-80s, I have been inundated with questions that I never seem to have answers to. The questions have come from the young and the old; educated and the uneducated; academicians, politicians, public affairs analysts; and men and women of all races. Worst still, when people at all levels make any efforts to offer any explanations, their explanations often stop at reiterating the same questions, not bothering to reason out of the box – thereby deepening the factors that have bedeviled Africa and the black race. The efforts never go beyond discussing the issues while the causes and the way forward often remain untouched. The COVID-19 period was the period I found myself severely restricted as I had never experienced before. For the reason I can not remember now, I challenged myself to address the myriad of questions aforesaid and proffer a way forward from my little corner. In 1776, Adam Smith’s Magnum Opus, The Wealth of Nations, made its debut in England. There were similar literary works that broke out at the same time in Europe, especially in France. The general theme of the various works was that men (human beings) should be allowed to follow their self-interest as might be directed by some “invisible hand” without any hindrance from the government of the day. If this was allowed, individuals would be fulfilled or satisfied and nations would be wealthy. How did this play out? Europeans swooped on Africa to pursue their self-interests backed by their cabal-controlled governments. The European cabals and their foot soldiers were immensely successful, and their countries became rich, and are still rich – but all are for vanity and personal aggrandizement. It was the slave trade at first, and after that, came the ruthless exploitations of human and material resources of the African continent, its citizens, and the black race. This has been the case these past seven centuries, and it remains so up till today. I discovered too that these mischievous nations and individuals devised how things will remain the same forever. They are ruling African countries directly and by proxy. They recruited and are still recruiting their intermediaries who we call our leaders to rule us on their behalf. African leaders, from the presidents to the lowest in the leadership hierarchy, are nothing more than intermediaries - created and nurtured by their past colonial masters who are always looming like a shadow behind them. What is the way forward? Possession is said to be a greater part of ownership. Africa must rise to own their possession. Africa and the blacks are the first and the best. Africa and blacks all over the world should turn the tables against the nations that are riding high simply by the application of barbaric force, wicked manipulation of people, religious bigotry, and worthless subterfuges. They will not change on their own as nobody changes a winning card. Africa must rise up therefore to possess their possession.

Book Description
" Western Women and Imperialism] provides fascinating insights into interactions and attitudes between western and non-western women, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an important contribution to the field of women's studies and (primarily British) imperial history, in that many of the essays explore problems of cross-cultural interaction that have been heretofore ignored." --Nancy Fix Anderson "A challenging anthology in which a multiplicity of authors sheds new light on the waves of missionaries, 'memsahibs, ' nurses--and feminists." --Ms. "... a long-overdue engagement with colonial discourse and feminism.... excellent essays..." --The Year's Work in Critical Cultural Theory
