Africanization For Schools, Colleges, and Universities

Equipping people for good citizenship, patriotism, nationalism, and service above self cannot be gainsaid. This book offers 100% indigenous African perspectives. Therefore, readers can relate to the content, especially considering the pervasiveness of the situations expressed or implied in the book.

The interactive angles to virtually all the nuances of African life are reflected every step of the way, especially as African life is characteristically a perpetually turning wheel. Based on the points presented in this work, a concerted effort has been made to bring everyone on the same page. Africans can relate to the pictures painted in this book from their different geographic locations. Topics are presented to reveal the situations African leaders face in the course of their official functions. Occasions of positive and negative occurrences were not lost on this work. The true nature of Africanness found avenues to emerge, especially also considering that several of African negatives are revealed as orchestrated from outside using insiders.

Furthermore, African adults who might have veered off tangent and engaged in anti-African activities can repent of their deeds, fight to uplift Africa, and restore the original pre-colonial glory of the continent.
