“…STUDY THE SPIRITUALITY OF THIS CONTINENT…
SELECTIVENESS is the key. The religion of the ORISA does not permit in tenet, liturgy, catechism or practice, that pernicious dictum: “I believe, therefore I am…it is not weakness in the character of this religion; it is simply UNDERSTANDING.

THE MUSE OF FORGIVENESS
The nation that is Sudan belongs to two families of the world community Arab and African. These are structure, with the global recognition, as the Arab league, and the African union. It is depressing to observe the studied indifference of one-the Arab family-to the criminality of one of its members, a nation historically placed as a cultural bridge between two races.
The Years of childhood
“the canons residence was a story building in the parsonage square and it was stolid as the canon himself, riddled with black wooden-framed windows. Bishops court was also a storey-building, but only pupils lived in it so it was not a house. Only the school-room of primary school shared this closeness the woods which was inhabited by spirits and ghommids that made children permanently nervous, and chased them out when they had wandered too deeply in them for firewood, mushrooms and snail
‘Africa – concept or reality – is an acknowledged continent of extremes and, by the same token, it is hardly surprising that it draws extreme reactions. The increasingly accepted common ground, both for the negativities and optimists, is the admission that the African continent does not exist in isolation, nor has it stood still in a time-warp, independent of history.
A truly illuminating exploration of Africa has yet to take place. It does not pretend to take place even on the pages of this book, being content with retrieving a few grains for germination from the wasteful threshing floor of Africa’s existential totality.
In this updated edition of Climate of Fear, based on the 2004 BBC Reith Lectures, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, further explores the many facets of fear which includes the extensive and persuasive hold of religion and spirituality; fear spawned by intolerance and the similarities between these and other forms of despotism.

Wole Soyinka’s scathing and unsparing observation of the idiosyncrasies and excesses of contemporary Nigeria society cultural alienation, the corruption of power and opportunistic self-serving preoccupations of our so called leaders
This book is a clarion call, an urgent alarm. It purviews beyond the problem of global unemployment, but speaks to economic and social decisions being made by individuals, households, companies and governments. The author seeks to find an intricate balance in between all of these. At least, if a balance was not achievable, he seeks to add his voice as one of those who pulled back the world from extremism. This time, the focus is on economic extremism.
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.
He was not only the finest poet of his generation but I believe that as his work becomes better and more widely known in the world he will also be recognized as one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time.
Generally regarded as the most lyrical of the poets of his generation for his simple down to earth visual and descriptive imagery which makes his poem among the most memorable, JP Clark is perhaps the most underrated of Nigeria’s literary giants.
This is my fifth book. It’s a collection of some of my best economic ideas over time. It is focused on Nigeria to a large extent and encompasses my thoughts for our country and people. This book is named REVOLUTION OF IDEAS because the ideas herein are indeed out-of-the-box and revolutionary. I believe that the ideas that will transit Nigeria people of color out of the current state of pity, lie in the mind. I have put my perspective together here. I assure that you’ll find it indeed interesting. Let’s get going
