This engaging thought provoking lecture triggers crucial questions why is the state in Africa often a colossal millstone rather than a cornerstone of development. Why have African states post-independence retained inherited colonial structure, why are people in many parts of Africa poorer today than at independence, and standard of living and security have depreciated. The author posits that the African continent needs a second independence in which the primary aim would be to reclaim the state for citizens not by passing the state buy by making the state a genuine partner for development.
Ajayi Crowther – The Triumphs of A Legend
₦3,500.00 ₦3,500.00Crowther opened numerous missions up the Niger and Benue rivers, from bonny to Lokoja to kippo hill, earning the trust and friendship of the local kings, he translated the bible fully into Yoruba and partially into Igbo and Igalla. Unfortunately, however, the last two years of his long and eventual life were to be marred by controversy and bitterness. Some priests sent down by the CMS from England on a visitation on the Niger Mission returned very negative and destructive reports. As a result, the Bishop already over 80 years old, suffered a stroke from which he never really recovered. He died in the closing hours of December 31,1891. This play is about those last, painful years
