In the mid-19th century, US Explorer and Journalist, Henry Stanley described Africa as, ''The Dark Continent''. Was Africa really in the ''dark''? Was she filled with savages roaming about without any form of leadership or structure? Are there leadership systems from the pre-colonial era that can be of relevance in today's Africa? This book answers these pertinent questions about Africa and more, with Nigeria as a case study.
