Overview

This book highlights the current decisions we are presently making, especially the third world countries of Africa. This is an awareness piece to Africa, letting them rethink their decisions be you an individual, government, state, country, or nation. This book is an encouragement to all leaders and masses to be actively present in their decision-making. The African mind has been conditioned to think the West is better. We are all good in our own right. We follow the Western ways, and by doing so they are still ahead of us while we gradually erode. What the West sees on media and history is how they see our ways. They forget we as Africans emerge and grow from what history has taught society to believe. Our solution must come from within us Africans only if we are ready to embrace the fact that we can. Our ways are different, that's why the Western solutions are not working for us; rather, it has put us in more debt. We can't plug the Western solutions into the African challenges. Changing our structures and systems using Western solutions, be it nature, policies and our community, will change our ways. As we are making these decisions, we should be aware of the processes involved. We should be aware of the history we are making in the present for future African generations. The battles the past generations refuse to fight will be fought by future generations. How can they fight if they are not taught, informed, and equipped by the past generations?

Author Information

Raised by my mother's parents, later raised by my mother after the passing of my grandparents in 2000 and 2001 respectively. God rest their souls, and sleep well, Mama and Papa. My journey began when I officially knew my father at age 12. I remember my first visit to him at his office at work. The first question he asked me was, what's your name? I answered Soibifaa (Soso) Sekibo Bob-Manuel. That was the highlight of my struggle. I am from Rivers State, Abonnema, in the southern part of Nigeria, Niger Delta. I later got to know my Dad as I visited his home from time to time. I lived with my Mum, who was a single parent. It was not easy being a single mother. We frequently moved from one house to another due to lack of funds. Now everything has changed; life has smiled upon us. I got a scholarship from Rivers State to study in Canada. I have a bachelor's degree, with a double major in Psychology and Environmental Studies from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Life is full of hope, and this has kept me growing and going through life. This brings me to this book of my experiences, thoughts and learnings as I unpack ideas, norms and structures. Storytelling has always been my passion, so to you, my reader and audience, I hope you find this piece exonerating as you dig deeper into your thoughts.
