Greatest Speeches of Historic Black Leaders

THE BOOK

“The present work on FORMATION, THE CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD AND THE MODERN AGE: Festschrift in Honour of Rev. Fr. Anselm Jimoh Edited by Francis E. Ikhianosime and Gregory E. Ogbenika, is a realization of one of the greatest dreams of our time- the dream of keeping the fascination of the centrality of God in priestly formation alive and attractive even in modern times. [This work], therefore, beats the drum for this harvest of thoughts from the best minds you can ever imagine. It contains a college of perceptions crystallized as a thought contribution by various authors, which will survive the physical structures of generations yet to come. [This work] sounds the drum for a piece by productive academics whose productivity is marked by happy versatility, rich variety, unfailing originality, consistent incisiveness, high voltage reasoning, limpidity of style and unwavering logic.”

FORMATION THE CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD AND THE MODERN AGE by F. E. IKHIANOSIME & G. E. OGBENIKA

The Uzama do not make kings for Benin people. The kings are made by the Almighty God from the big home above. But they are crowned by the Uzama as they emerge with the authority of the Benin Law of primogeniture.

The Book is a narrative of the circumstances of the appearances of the monarchs of the kingdom of Benin through the Ogiso and the Ọba dynasties, and the processes of their crowning.

The book is indeed a resource material for all lovers of history, particularly those interested in Benin history and culture, as they concern the monarchs and the Uzama.

UZAMA THE BENIN MONARCHY by Sam O. U. Igbe

Oratory is a powerful medium, with the ability to move hearts and minds. Riots and revolutions have been caused by great speakers, and a skilled tongue has led many a nations into the horrors of war. Depressed and hopeless individuals have regained their self-confidence and have gone beyond the imaginations of those who termed them “useless” to become great achievers in life all because of the power of inspired words by great leaders such as T.D. Jakes, Al Sharpton, Marcus Garvey and M.K.O. Abiola.

Armed with speaking skills, and motivating words from these great leaders, you too can become a more pronounced version of yourself.

GREATEST SPEECHES OF HISTORIC BLACK LEADERS Vol. 5 By Ben Anagwonye

THE BOOK

This book is an attempt to bring to limelight the issues surrounding Ogiamienism in Benin history. It traces Benin history from the Owere era to Ogisos with emphasis on Ogiso Owodo’s maladministration, the interregnum of Evian as a leader (Okaevbo) and Ogiamien’s insurgency. The history of Ekaladerhan and the Benin – Ife relationships was also brought to bear on how Oba Ewedo ruthlessly put paid to Ogiamienism with the memorable battle at Ekiokpagha in about 1255 AD which ultimately eliminated all forms of republicanism in Benin Kingdom. Concerned persons (indigenes and non-indigenes) where taken aback in 2015 when Ogiamien family tried to resurface the insurgency which had been eliminated about 800 years ago. This book once again is an attempt to trace the historical facts and highlight the truths of the matter for all people of goodwill.

FOUNDATIONS OF CLINICAL OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY IN THE TROPICS by Peter N. Ebeigbe

The Nemesis of Power is the story of Agho Obaseki, a dependable, efficient and capable agent of the British who filled the vacuum created as a result of the Oba’s deportation by assuming the leading role among Benin chiefs. Agho’s success based on his sterling qualities as a leader and statesman won him British support but made him numerous enemies amongst Benin chiefs.

This account deals with the life and times of Agho Obaseki, a prominent chief, paramount ruler, district head and Iyase of Benin, 1897-1920. The whole spectrum of the times of Agho Obaseki is examined and analysed in sufficient depth to show vividly the factionalism, polarization of the society and the major confrontations between divergent interest groups in colonial Benin. He emerged from the account as a perfect representative of that group of Africans who used the colonial regime to achieve a tenure of power unparalleled in the history of their kingdoms and localities.

PROFILES: Citations on Some Eminent Personalities By Philip A. Igbafe

The family, the community, and society seem to have abandoned their responsibilities to ensure strong educational foundation for their children.  Governments driven by politics of self-interest are fostering the fall of educational standards.  Regular regressive results in examinations have become the order of the day in an environment of paucity of trained teachers, and where mathematics and science teachers are scanty.  There is the consequent prevalent unemployment situation in the nation.  This book identifies the need for an urgent review of the National Policy on Education to take care of these deficiencies, and provide for a purpose-driven system of education.

The book points out that appropriate curricula and syllabi are potent instruments for achieving the goals of education to develop desirable citizenry.  It draws attention to the facts, significance, and the realities of educational development in Nigeria as vital for progressive national transformation.

REALITIES OF NIGERIAN EDUCATION by SAM O. U. IGBE

This book deals with the story of an individual who overcame the constraints of his very humble beginnings in a peasant environment to master his circumstance and rise beyond it to play a pivotal role in the politics of the nation where he succeeded beyond all sanguine expectations. His resounding successes in business and politics show clearly that this is the story of hard work, courage, rugged determination to succeed, an indomitable will, a resolute disposition, steadfastness in espousing worthy causes and a story of adaptability to changing circumstances; it is the story of working with men in spite of their weaknesses and failures; it is the story of sticking to principles which are invaluable for success; it is the story of selfless service; it is the story of sacrifice. Above all, it is the story of realpolitik. The details of the qualities which propelled Chief Tony Anenih on his journey of life are clearly set out with meticulous care without sacrificing objectivity. Readers will be able to appreciate the conditions under which he laboured to be what he is today.

 

THE AUTHOR

Born at Arue in the suburbs of Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State, Chief Anthony Akakhon Anenih grew up in an environment of limited opportunities. His enlistment in the Nigeria Police Force in 1951 opened for him a career and profession where his diligence and precocity made him outstanding in a rapid progression through the ranks from recruit to Commissioner of Police before his voluntary retirement in 1976.

On leaving the Police Force, he ventured into business establishing Yakon Motors, Yakon Chemists in Benin City, the Safeway Supermarket in Warri and the Electronic shop in Enugu and politics where he has played a pivotal role in the making of Governors and equally helped in the making of Presidents of the Federal Government of Nigeria. He was chairman of National Party of Nigeria (NPN) in Bendel State, member of the National Constitutional Conference, National Campaign Director Yar’Adua Presidential Campaign Organization, and National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). He was one of the pioneers in the formation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) becoming the Minister for Works and Housing in the Obasanjo first administration. He was chairman of the Board of Trustees, for the second time, of the Peoples Democratic Party.

He received the national honours award of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic, CFR, and has also received numerous chieftancy titles and honorary doctorate degree awards from several Universities in Nigeria. Chief Tony Anenih remains relevant in Nigerian politics today – a political colossus, an inimitable tactician and strategist, a master planner, a respected elder statesman who is frequently called upon to calm and stabilize tempestuous political storms.

Greatest Speeches of Historic Black Leaders:Volume 4 by Ben Anagwonye

Words have more power than we customarily attribute to them. They go forth with a vibration that can be uplifting, c o m f o r t i n g ,   h e a l i n g ,   e n c o u r a g i n g   o r   d e p r e s s i n g , antagonistic, damaging and discouraging. The power of words cannot be underestimated. They can move passionate hearts to reason and tears. Speeches have moved people to rebellion and nations to war.  Most of the great issues that confront us today such as national and international conflicts, intertribal wars, unemployment, inflation, poverty, tribalism, discrimination, oppression, environmental pollution etc. have their roots in present and historical Speeches
