Practical Prophetic Prayer and Warfare is an imperative strategy to equip the Church with necessary spiritual arsenal to enable her to contend with and contain the spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. The Lord Jesus Christ is not coming to rapture a beaten and battered Church, but a glorious and triumphant one, adorned like a bride waiting for her bridegroom. In this book, the author attempts to present vividly and lucidly the fundamentals of spiritual warfare which are necessary ingredients for victory in battles, as the lives of Christians are characterized by continuous battle with the kingdom of darkness. This book is a must-read for Christians who are men and women of destiny, people who are ready to tilt nations, the Church and individuals to fulfill God’s prophecy. The Church and the world must leave the realms of religious mediocrity and escapist explanations of cosmic power to reality of battles. This is the hallmark of prophetic prayers; praying, prophesying and insisting that the programs of God concerning individuals, the Church and nations are fulfilled.

The Making of Modern Cameroon, Vol. 1 examines the history of present day Cameroon's struggle to create, unite, and integrate their country. The story begins with the colonization of the country by Germany in 1884 and continues with the country's experience under British and French rule from 1914 to 1961. The study emphasizes the fact that independent French Cameroon had a bargaining advantage over Anglophone Cameroon when reunification talks began. These inequalities or differences contributed to the disparate attempt by the two regions to create a truly united and integrated Cameroon. The book is divided into two parts. Part I focuses on the three colonial administrations which provided the foundations for the post-World War I and II political developments in Cameroon. Part II concentrates on Anglophone Cameroon and examines three major factors considered crucial prerequisites of nationalism.

Definitely for adults only! The photographs in this volume were all taken without commercial interest or intent of any kind; without paying attention to taboos or respecting what is forbidden. They are real photos, entire stories that have no need for long words. And even though it could hardly be called a pillow book, you do risk having sleepless nights after having enjoyed it. I have tried to capture the frank and sweaty atmosphere surrounding teenagers, their charged awareness, as this is what I repeatedly found on my many travels. It was a personal quest that led me far away from my real work. We see young adults (all at least 18 years of age), who become professional models for a day. French and Czech women, Ukrainians, Hungarians and even American women initiate us into the intimacies of their youth, with not too much posing, but occasionally enhanced with accessories of their choice.

This original book presents a critical analysis of the interface between international intellectual property law and international investment law through the lens of intertextuality. It argues that a structuralist approach to intertextuality can be useful in the context of legal interpretation, especially in relation to the interpretation of treaties.Emmanuel Kolawole Oke critically evaluates the assumption that investment tribunals cannot take the rules of international intellectual property law into account when resolving investment disputes concerning intellectual property rights. He demonstrates instead the ways in which investment tribunals can and should adopt an intertextual approach when resolving such disputes, which, in turn, will help to preserve the intellectual property policy space of host states.Providing useful and thought-provoking insights, this book will be beneficial for legal scholars and students in the fields of intellectual property law, international investment law, and human rights. It will also be of great assistance to arbitrators faced with investment disputes involving intellectual property rights, as well as policy makers engaged in the negotiation of trade and investment agreements.

Given that Enlightenment rationality developed in Europe as European nations aggressively claimed other parts of the world for their own enrichment, scholars have made rationality the subject of postcolonial critique, questioning its universality and objectivity. In On Reason, the late philosopher Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze demonstrates that rationality, and by extension philosophy, need not be renounced as manifestations or tools of Western imperialism. Examining reason in connection to the politics of difference—the cluster of issues known variously as cultural diversity, political correctness, the culture wars, and identity politics—Eze expounds a rigorous argument that reason is produced through and because of difference. In so doing, he preserves reason as a human property while at the same time showing that it cannot be thought outside the realities of cultural diversity. Advocating rationality in a multicultural world, he proposes new ways of affirming both identity and difference.Eze draws on an extraordinary command of Western philosophical thought and a deep knowledge of African philosophy and cultural traditions. He explores models of rationality in the thought of philosophers from Aristotle, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Hobbes to Noam Chomsky, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and Jacques Derrida, and he considers portrayals of reason in the work of the African thinkers and novelists Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and Wole Soyinka. Eze reflects on contemporary thought about genetics, race, and postcolonial historiography as well as on the interplay between reason and unreason in the hearings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He contends that while rationality may have a foundational formality, any understanding of its foundation and form is dynamic, always based in historical and cultural circumstances.

Independent Africa explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations.Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economics and industrialize.Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders, and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking.
