Book Description
This is great story about a "doctor-in training" against the background of the Nigerian Civil War. Being a medical student is difficult enough without having one's studies interrupted by war. John Anakwenze provides the reader with a fascinating account of his life in Lagos and thereafter, his "escape" to Eastern Nigeria. He went to the U.K. for postgraduate studies before returning to Nigeria in 1985. His narrative is crammed with stories about the diverse characters who he met, including the myriad girlfriends. He had a great fondness for nightclubs and was also a very talented storyteller. John survived squalor, constantly moving from place to place and finally succeeding as a locum consultant physician in geriatric medicine in the United Kingdom.

A Broken Mission
Author: John M. O. Igbokwe Msc
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467070254
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The storming and week-long occupation of the Embassy of Nigeria in the Philippines by students in 1986 had one purpose - to fight apathy and turn the Mission towards its true mandate of serving the interests of Nigeria. Treachery had betrayed this purpose, leaving successive Nigerian envoys ever more deadened to the care of their charges. By the early to late 1990s, four known and two probable Nigerian citizens had been assassinated in cold-blood in various cities across archipelagic Philippines, in circumstances that were questionable and suspect. The Embassy of Nigeria was headed by Charge d'Affaires a. i. Samuel I. Ajewole, a Deeper Life fundamentalist, who had abdicated his responsibilities to a criminally-inclined, skirt-chasing Head of Chancery named Femi Akenson Rotimi. Fear had gripped the Nigerian Community which started to clamor for official show of concern and interest by the Mission in these wanton violations of human rights. The embassy, hiding behind indefensible diplomatic clichés sat on its hands and did nothing. As the agitation for action mounted, the Mission resorted to intimidation and death threats against one of its citizens leading to unprecedented polarization in the small Nigerian Community. A Broken Mission is the story of Nigeria's failed diplomacy in the Philippines, based on the two-year crusade to reform the Embassy of Nigeria, Manila, following official indifference to these murders. The book chronicles the implacable advocacy for justice and clean embassy government that sought to force an inept, abusive and corrupt diplomatic Mission headed by a rogue, scandalous diplomat to reform and serve its community with respect and sensitivity.

Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries
Author: Joanna Härmä
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350088269
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
In Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries, Joanna Härmä draws on primary research carried out in sub-Saharan African countries and in India to show how the poor are being failed by both government and private schools. The primary research data and experiences are combined with additional examples from around the world to offer a wide perspective on the issue of marketized education, low-fee private schooling and government systems. Härmä offers a pragmatic approach to a divisive issue and an ideologically-driven debate and shows how the well-intentioned international drive towards 'education for all' is being encouraged and even imposed long before some countries have prepared the teachers and developed the systems needed to implement it successfully. Suggesting that governments need to take a much more constructive approach to the issue, Härmä argues for a greater acceptance of the challenges, abandoning ideological positions and a scaling back of ambition in the hope of laying stronger foundations for educational development.

Dog Eat Dog
Author: Niq Mhlongo
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0821444131
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Dog Eat Dog is a remarkable record of being young in a nation undergoing tremendous turmoil, and provides a glimpse into South Africa’s pivotal kwaito (South African hip-hop) generation and life in Soweto. Set in 1994, just as South Africa is making its postapartheid transition, Dog Eat Dog captures the hopes—and crushing disappointments—that characterize such moments in a nation’s history. Raucous and darkly humorous, Dog Eat Dog is narrated by Dingamanzi Makhedama Njomane, a college student in South Africa who spends his days partying, skipping class, and picking up girls. But Dingz, as he is known to his friends, is living in charged times, and his discouraging college life plays out against the backdrop of South Africa’s first democratic elections, the spread of AIDS, and financial difficulties that threaten to force him out of school.
