This book, LIFE LESSONS for West African Youth, is dedicated to our students at B.L.E.S.S. UNIVERSITY, which originated in the late summer of 2019. It is for their growth and continuing formulation of a World View that will sustain them throughout their lives. Every effort has been made to make the reading basic and simple, readable and comprehensible to all of our students. We desire that it will be a REFERENCE BOOK that will be used and referred to in order to help our students grow and learn in life. It has been the honor of a lifetime to teach these amazing African Angels (my kids) during these past few years. No greater thing have I ever done in my life, and no greater passion have I ever had in my life than to be able to work with them.

This open-access edited collection, focusing on Ghana and Nigeria, offers a transatlantic, transnational exploration of barriers that threaten the wellbeing of West African youth—ranging from Black immigrant youth in the American city of Newark, New Jersey, to students in Almajiri Islamic schools in Northern Nigeria. Incorporating themes of migration, vulnerability, and agency and aspirations, the book conveys the resilience of African youth transitioning toward adulthood in a world of structural inequality. It thus crosses the academic divide between Youth Studies and African Studies, while challenging conventional framings of Black youth as deficient and deviant—positing instead their individual and collective creativity and assets. The contributors employ different methodological approaches, including field research and autoethnography, from varying multidisciplinary and practitioner perspectives.

"If History Repeats Itself, and the Unexpected Always Happens, how Incapable must Man be of Learning from Experience". George Bernard Shaw (Irish Dramatis, 1856-1950).On the continent of Africa and in some parts of the world, great percentage of promising, energetic, talented and even highly educated youths, mostly graduates, are pitiably plunged into uncertainties, confusions and joblessness, especially at the end of their studies.The sad part of the story? These young bloods actually struggled, moved through thick and thin, pay through their noses, to bag a number of degrees, only to discover after graduation that a sacrosanct bailiwick was omitted from the curricula/syllabi used in training them through school, thereby creating a vaccum.The results of the above you ask? Majority of these innocent young minds ended up with knowledge, degrees and certificates, inapplicable to real life situations. Consequently, prospective leaders found themselves unable to make personal ends meet, did I mention caring for families or becoming blessings to their world?The main cause of this challenge you ask again? Most African and some Extra-African schools, operate curricula/syllabi ridden with theories, mostly outdated and grossly irrelevant to the real world. Hence, as important and life-transforming as education could be, it is being inadequately handled through defective curricula/syllabus that trivialised an effective body of knowledge, both at the high school level and higher institutions, and what is this?'Biographical Studies!'. "A body of post-modern knowledge, designed to train young future leaders in the art and science of historical experiences and certainties of pacesetters, capable of birthing repeated and repeatable successful achievements.This vacuum is what this book, "African Youths Manual: Twenty-Eight Lessons from Sixteen Pages of History", has come to fill. Loaded with unique life narrations of exemplary and historical personalities selected all across Africa and the world, the book provides eye-opening templates, to learn from the experiences of present and past heroes and heroines, in order to reshape their orientations and break the chains of limitations, imposed upon their lives by limited academic trainings.It doesn't matter your discovered purpose or chosen field, someone has been there before you, with results of resounding success. Is your calling Business, Politics, Medicine, Law, Farming, Teaching or Footballing, this book connects you to celebrated and iconic trailblazers, who are/were professionals in these fields and from whose experiences you should learn.Foreworded by Okajare Solomon Tai, Ph.D., one of the finest and leading historians in Africa, the book is authored by Ade St Peters (B.A., LLB, and B.L), a trained lawyer, historian and biographer, with track record of dedicating close to twenty-five years to avid and voracious study of over five-hundred biographies of personalities and communities.A deliberate perusal of this piece will certainly beam a light on your pathway to life attainments and career fulfilment.Note, this is not a record of some unsubstantiated and unconfirmed dry old history, but an interesting expositions of success stories ended at each chapter by strong lessons you really need. YES, THOSE LESSONS YOU REALLY NEED! You Don't Have to Learn Through the Hard-way, You can Simply Learn from History!

In Yoruba culture, adults tell folk tales to young people, especially during the full moon. Under moonlight, adults and children sit in open village squares and tell stories. The high point of the storytelling is when the storyteller and listeners reason together to find some lessons from the stories. This is the informal way that morals, principles, and life lessons are passed down and learned.The Tortoise is a prominent character in Yoruba folk tales. The Tortoise is almost always portrayed as a trickster, a phony, or a dubious personality. Mr. Oni tells these Tortoise stories so that the youngsters can learn true character and good habits. If the kids can learn from the mistakes of any of the characters, it might prevent them from making those mistakes themselves.Peer pressure, bullying, anger management, risk taking, humility, individuality, self-control, respect, intuition, and such themes are covered without necessarily using those terms. The Moonlight Stories from West Africa is helpful for teaching and learning social skills and important life lessons through storytelling, without reference to any religion.Each chapter in the book is enriched with review questions/checking comprehension and different graphic organizers for students¿ activities, such as, character evaluating worksheet, character analysis web, attribute and legacy web and story worm graphic organizer for sequencing. Mr. Oni is a retired schoolteacher who spends his retirement as a volunteer storyteller in schools. He is a naturalized US citizen but was born and bred in Nigeria, West Africa. On Wednesday mornings every week for sixteen weeks, Mr. Oni visits PS 001 during second period. He goes to Room 302, Ms. Tom¿s class, where the third grade students are waiting for him. Mr. Oni tells the Tortoise stories he remembers from his childhood in Africa in Ms. Tom¿s class. For the storytelling sessions, Mr. Oni sits in Ms. Tom¿s rocking chair while the students sit on the rug at the back of the room¿.After each story, Mr. Oni tells the students to look for at least three important lessons from each story, one of which will be the main lesson.

This book explores how African youth are depicted in contemporary literature and popular culture, and discusses the different ways by which they attempt to construct personal and cultural identities through popular culture and social media outlets. The contributors approach the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective, looking at images in children’s and adolescent literature from Africa, and the African diaspora, from Nollywood and Hollywood movies, from popular magazines, and from youth cultures encountered directly through field experiences. The findings reveal that there are many stereotypes about Africa, African youth and black cultures, and that African youth are aware of these. Since they juggle multiple identities shaped by their ethnicities, race and religion, it is often a challenge for them to define themselves. As they also share a global youth culture that transcends these cultural markers, some take advantage of media outlets to voice their concerns and participate in political struggles. Others simply use these to promote their personal interests. Contributors ponder the challenges involved in constructing unique identities, offering ideas on how African youth are doing so successfully or not in different parts of the continent and the African diaspora, and thus offer new possibilities for youth studies.

"The edited collection focuses on the links between young people and African popular culture. It explores popular culture produced and consumed by young people in contemporary Africa. And by "culture," we mean all kinds of texts or representations-visual, oral, written, performative, fictional, social, and virtual-created by African youth, mostly about their lives and their immediate societies, and for themselves, but also consumed by the larger public, and shared locally and globally. We proceed from the premise that cultural texts not only function as "social facts" as Karin Barber argues, but that they double as "commentaries upon, and interpretations of, social facts. They are part of social reality, but they also take up an attitude to social reality" (2007, 04). So, the work focuses specifically on what African youth produce as popular culture, under what conditions or contexts they produce such work, how they produce those texts, why they produce them, the aesthetic dimensions of these texts as cultural artifacts, and why these textual practices matter as social facts, as interpretive acts, and as cultural symbols of the general cultural activism of young people in a rapidly changing world, a world where the global cultural economy is the prime terrain for the relentless struggles over the meanings that come to shape political-economic and social systems"--

All over the world, there is growing concern about the ramifications of globalization, late-modernity and general global social and economic restructuring on the lives and futures of young people. Bringing together a wide body of research to reflect on youth responses to social change in Africa, this volume shows that while young people in the region face extraordinary social challenges in their everyday lives, they also continue to devise unique ways to reinvent their difficult circumstances and prosper in the midst of seismic global and local social changes. Contributors from Africa and around the world cover a wide range of topics on African youth cultures, exploring the lives of young people not necessarily as victims, but as active social players in the face of a shifting, late-modernist civilization. With empirical cases and varied theoretical approaches, the book offers a timely scholarly contribution to debates around globalization and its implications and impacts for Africa's youth.

This book examines the extent to which British-born Black African youth have access to opportunities and support during their pre-school, primary school and secondary school years. Through the voice of British-born Black African youth, this book explores why and how some racial-ethnic and linguistic minority students fail academically while students from other linguistic minorities excel despite coming from similar socio-economic backgrounds. Drawing on interpretive-qualitative research analysis, the author demonstrates the racial dimension of social capital in education that challenges the traditional social capital theory, which recodes structural notions of racial inequality as primarily cultural, social, and human capital processes and interactions. In contrast to the focus on achievement gaps, the concept of opportunity gaps shows how and why language policies have shaped the educational experiences and outcomes of linguistic minority students. This book will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and scholars of Multicultural Education, Black and African Diaspora Studies and Educational Sociology.
