Praise for Africa’s Brain Power

“… As one of the regular contributors to many of the topics over the last three years and an avid reader and researcher on Africa’s development doldrums myself, I would strongly encourage each and every one, scholars and laymen alike interested in seeing Africa begin to catch up with the rest of the world in socio-economic and political development to avail himself/herself with a copy of this compendium; Africa’s Brain Power. It is comprehensive as it covers every sector of human society and provides pointers into the future of Africa. As a published author myself on Africa’s elusive search for solutions to her perennial development challenges, having a copy of this book is highly recommended. You would be glad you did.”

— Joseph S. Fomunung, Political Economist, and author of Africa’s Path to Economic Development (2018)

“…zesty in flavor and compelling in content and style these editorials are a master craft borne of long years of journalism experience and wisdom. As a co-anchor, I confess Asonglefac Nkemleke’s editorial each week leaves me salivating for more because it provides rare insights to the topic. As you peruse this booklet, you will yourself discover the depth and scope of textbook definition of good journalism. Enjoy the ride but come back for more every Sunday when we hit the airways with Asonglefac doing the kick-off with yet another powerful serving.”
