SYNOPSIS

“Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.”

In recent times, the quest for equality, equity and justice by everyone who has their root from Africa either by birth, through history and or through their colour of skin has increased astronomically. Several occurrences have shown that Africa and Africans are considered for the back seat at several platforms. This prejudice, intimidation and of course vilification has frustrated a lot of promising brains out of track, while some who are strong-willed continue to battle with this marginalization when they are with their counterparts from other parts of the world.

This is not so surprising to a considerable number of Africans who understands the dynamics of diplomatic and international relations. Africans should be first equal on their continent, it is only then can they push for equality in other climes. Universal equality is the way to go. You can’t treat yourselves as less human at home and expect any magic outside. Charity they say begins at Home! It thus means a lot needs to be done by Africa and Africans in order to attain the enviable heights they dream of.

Sequel to this and several other challenges that have drawn back the hands of growth and development in Africa, the author strongly believes that; there is only one race; that is the Human race. It only on continents do we differ from coast to coast. Either in colour, tongue and tribe the variations are mere products of geographical location.” Hence, through this book we plan to take the readers on a transcontinental journey of bringing to the fore Africa & Africans reality, debunk myths and ignite our consciousness towards developing homegrown solutions that are exclusively peculiar to the continent.

ACCOLADES

…Is it a must read? I may not be able to tell. But I know the ideas therein are a must-do. Here is a brave young man who has told the truth and offered elixirs borne of deep thought.

TOPE KOLADE FASUA

This is an instructive piece that espouses our continental history and relationships with the western world to raise the consciousness of our leaders and citizens to the dangers ahead. Written by a young mind and an emerging leader, the hope for Africa to rule the world at some point is bright. The book is a must read for everyone.

This book is a well-stuctured, thought-provoking and well-articulated compilation of a new way of doing things that will be handy for leaders, youth, policy makers and the agents of change in Africa and elsewhere.

I hope this book would be a beacon of hope to the brains who are dropping their dreams and lofty vision to settle for morsels on the other side of the Atlantic; and show them the path to owning their vision and changing the narratives of our dear continent.

Bolarinwa strikes me as a young man with a profound message to deliver to African people and their leaders.

It is my hope that this book challenges us to look within and own our vision and run with it thereby rewriting our own story and changing the narratives written by the rest of the world for us against us….

OLOGUN AYODEJI

….a very readable book on the age-long conflict of the role of Africa in the World Order and the internal and external contradictions emasculating and keeping it from taking its rightful place globally. The most dominant take-away for me in the book is that what Africa desperately needs are strong institutions, and not strong men.
