Man is a contradiction, a complex being, and a unique animal... One side of man shows his ingenuity, his humanness, his creative capacity, and his capacity to be kind, loving, and to acknowledge and honor the truth. This is the divine aspect of man. The other face shows man using his ability, capability, and ingenuity maliciously, selfishly, devilishly, and oppressively. This is the satanic aspect of man...

A bad military administration is worse than a raging, uncontrollable mob and an armed robber. In politics, he destroys and kills and guards himself with his arms. In the social system, he destroys and demolishes and stands armed on the tower ready for the worst to happen to whosoever may lift up his voice or his head...

Excerpts ...The author draws his inspiration not from anthropology, but from the Biblical affirmation that man was created from the same material that God took to create the animals... He (also) attempts a situational theology by placing all the issues he raised in a Nigerian context.

— Rev Father Mathew Hassan Kukah.

This Animal Called Man is not a reconstruction of Obasanjo’s prison experiences... The book has more ambitious scope. It seeks to elucidate on Biblical or Christian teaching, throwing in liberal sn**ches of philosophical thought and illustrating from the totality of his life’s experience. It is written in blunt, straightforward prose that avoids the impenetrable turgidity that makes the reading of many philosophical or religious books such a bore.

Boluwaji, a seasoned writer and social commentator with over a decade of experience, delves deep into the socio-economic and political landscape of Nigeria and the broader African context. As the visionary founder of The Citizen Network of Nigeria, a non-profit organization committed to fostering quality leadership and good governance, Boluwaji spearheads the development of Nigeria's indigenous Governance Performance Index. This groundbreaking initiative aims to assess governance performance nationwide, paving the way for tangible improvements in our nation’s future.

With two prior publications that delve into the intricate sociopolitical history of Nigeria, Boluwaji demonstrates a strong commitment to shedding light on the past while actively shaping the future. Beyond his literary pursuits, he is a dynamic entrepreneur actively engaged in Nigeria's thriving technology sector.

Boluwaji is championing an African renaissance, one that rekindles the pride and dignity of the African. He firmly believes that through the commitment of young people across the continent, Africa can experience a rebirth that fuels the continent's economic, technological, sociocultural, and political advancement. "Reclaiming Hope" is his latest contribution to this noble cause.

Page 2: Boluwaji Braimoh's Reclaiming Hope is a labour of love pro patria. It is a summons to the African youth to sn**ch back their countries from the jaws of the inept and corrupt leaderships of the past several years. Boluwaji provides a feasible, step-by-step guide to acquiring the requisite traits for birthing a new Africa. A must-read for anyone who wishes to lead. Thank you, Boluwaji, for such a valuable leadership training manual.

— Ifeoma Akabogu-Chinwuba, Ambassador of Nigeria to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, 2014-2017.

With a supreme openness of the mind, Boluwaji Braimoh in this book examines the path Africa has taken and delivers an inspiring message on solving the crises of the time on the continent. Here is a product of profound contemplation that sparks the creative imagination urgently needed for advancing global prosperity with the African as a driver. Reclaiming Hope is therefore a guide for enlarging the capacity of the mind for innovation and an essential text on how a people on the path of redemption can attain the practical power to alter their history and livelihood.

Ojukwu: Exile, Diplomacy and Survival

This is an ode to human survival and revival. The author deployed intelligence gathering, strategic local and external security maneuvers, as well as international media engagements and diplomatic shuttles to the termination of the former Biafran leader's exile.
Readers will find the politics and dramatis personae of Ojukwu's pardon quite intriguing. They put a lie to the notion that tribe was always the bane of Nigerian politics. Patriots from across the divides made General Ojukwu's return not only possible but also a national celebration.
This book is a must-read for glimpses into how the Nigeria/Biafra war was won and lost, and the steps taken by even those blamed for it to engender reconciliation in the polity.

— Felix Oguejiofor Abugu,
Former Editor, The Guardian on Saturday and MD/Editor-In-Chief, AbeyaNews online.

Just years after the civil war, a patriotic ethnic mix of Nigerians worked for lasting national unity by ensuring General Ojukwu's return to his fatherland. This rebukes the sundering of Nigeria through subsequent decades, a dire warning that the country must be pulled from the brink. Otherwise, disintegration looms…

— Chuks Iloegbunam, author of Ironsi: Nigeria, The Army, Power and Politics

The Author:

Kanayo Esinulo earned a reputation for committed electronic and print media journalism before veering into public relations, where he also excelled. In Biafra, he worked at General Ojukwu's State House. When the republic capitulated, he followed the Biafran leader to Côte d'Ivoire and served as one of his closest aides throughout his years of exile. This captivating book is on the years of exile and the deft moves that led to Ojukwu's return to Nigeria in 1982.

This is a detailed meta-narrative for anyone who genuinely desires to understand the history of Nigeria: the origins of its many ethnic nationalities, their economic activities, the nature and character of their socio-political institutions, patterns of group contact and interactions, encounters with alien forces and the implications of these on their development, the people’s struggles for independence and having achieved this, how they have continued to grapple with the challenges of nation building.

The book is written in very simple and lucid English and is devoid of complex narratives and interpretations. It would easily and certainly find readership across all classes and generations of Nigerians.

Discover the gripping history behind one of Nigeria’s most critical and contested regions in Oil Wars in the Niger Delta: 1849-2009. This expertly researched and analytical work sheds light on the long-standing struggles for justice, equity, and development in the Niger Delta, where the quest for peace in a richly diverse yet deeply divided country has been ongoing for over a century.

The shift to oil brought both opportunities and challenges, sparking fierce battles over Resource Control and igniting movements like the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). These oil wars, marked by clashes over power, control, and the region’s wealth, are meticulously analyzed to offer readers a complete understanding of the forces at play.

The book provides a detailed examination of Nigeria’s 2009 Amnesty, which aimed to address decades of unrest in the Delta, and discusses the broader implications for national security, stability, and peace.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a policy maker, or someone interested in understanding the vital issues at the heart of Nigeria’s resource battles, Oil Wars in the Niger Delta offers invaluable insights. With its candid discussions on resource control, national unity, and the future of Nigeria’s most resource-rich region, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the country’s political landscape.

A game-changing approach to marketing, sales, and advertising.

Seth Godin has taught and inspired millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, leaders, and fans from all walks of life, via his blog, online courses, lectures, and bestselling books. He is the inventor of countless ideas that have made their way into mainstream business language, from Permission Marketing to Purple Cow to Tribes to The Dip.

Now, for the first time, Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, timeless package. This is Marketing shows you how to do work you’re proud of, whether you’re a tech startup founder, a small business owner, or part of a large corporation.

Great marketers don’t use consumers to solve their company’s problem; they use marketing to solve other people’s problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads and spammy email funnels.

* How to build trust and permission with your target market.
* The art of positioning—deciding not only who it’s for, but who it’s not for.
* Why the best way to achieve your goals is to help others become who they want to be.
* Why the old approaches to advertising and branding no longer work.
* The surprising role of tension in any decision to buy (or not).
* How marketing is at its core about the stories we tell ourselves about our social status.

You can do work that matters for people who care. This book shows you the way.
