to its complex process of state formation, chronological timelines, and
historiography. While correlating the evolution of the Aro confederacy to state formation models in Africa, this work interrogates the Hamitic hypothesis and autochthonous assumptions, which have pervaded much of Aro studies. It
has uniquely and creatively established relatively firm chronology for the Aro using genealogies collected by the British as well as other Aro natives. Thus, a core dating structure has been worked out for the Aro, which integrates the Confederacy not only within reliable historical perspective but also into the regional chronological structure. It further interrogates the gaping imbalance between the paucity of field research and the profusion of literature and distorted historical writings on the Aro. This book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers on all aspects of Aro studies.

While many leaders have ruled Nigeria since 1960, not all have made significant contributions to good governance and nation building. Because of leadership challenges, the search for sustainable democracy and political stability has been quite elusive. These problems have been compounded by the vastness of the country as well as its multi-ethnic composition, religious divide, and the recurrent intervention of the military in politics. Thus, the result has been an unending difficulty in establishing a workable political schema for an enduring unity. Given the series of political and religious disturbances, civil war, economic meltdown, plundering of national resources, and frequent change of government, are Nigerians as a people simply ungovernable or is poor governance the result of the failure of leadership? These are some of the questions that this book addresses.

Of immense significance are his contributions to governance and leadership in Nigeria, especially as the country's foremost nationalist and first premier of the former Eastern Region, first indigenous President of the Nigerian Senate, first indigenous Governor-General of independent Nigeria, and first President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is noteworthy that throughout his political career, Azikiwe envisioned a federation of smaller states, which would weaken regional parties and undermine ethnic rivalry. Subsequent governments pursued this policy eventually. Thus, he was willing to make compromises even at personal discomfort to advance and preserve the unity of Nigeria.

Subsequently, the various European colonial governments appropriated education as a means of consolidating colonial rule in West Africa. By the middle of the 19th century, Western education began to produce a new, educated elite, at the core of which were “liberated slaves” in Sierra Leone. Western education produced its own contradictions. On the one hand, it produced educated hybrids who were alienated from their own peoples and cultures and who collaborated with Europeans to entrench colonialism in West Africa. On the other hand, the new elite, educated both in Africa and overseas, subsequently morphed into the new nationalists who became valuable agents for the liquidation of European imperialism in Africa. The emergent institutions of higher learning and t...
