Dr. Pipim's New Book Release, March 12, 2015

"Africans are like the elephant in the zoo," so argues Dr. Pipim in his latest book release titled THE AFRICAN GIANT. He maintains that Africa is a giant, in more ways than one. But despite its huge resources and human potential, the African continent (led by its most populous nation) poses a threat to the world at large. Thus, he argues:
 
“The African giant is at risk, and therefore risky. The time to mitigate or remove that risk is now. Those to mitigate that risk include you. And how to do so begins by reading this book—THE AFRICAN GIANT—and making a decision to be the change that you want to see, beginning in your own sphere of influence.”
 
Part I of THE AFRICAN GIANT book is based on Dr. Pipim’s keynote address at an Independence Day event at the Chamber of Commerce and Industries in Lagos, Nigeria, October 1, 2014. The speech was delivered on the occasion of the inauguration of the Circle of Hands Foundation—a new initiative that targets the youth and young professionals, harnessing their yet-untapped creativity and energy for national development.  Although Nigeria was the context, the message was directed at the larger issues of Pan Africanism and the African Renaissance. The message is equally relevant to many developing countries of Asia, South & Central America, and the Islands of the Pacific.
 
Part II of the book appears also in the latest issue (vol. 2, no. 1) of the “African Development Magazine” whose theme is “The New Scramble for the Wealth Africa.” (The African Development Magazine holds the pride of place as the preferred development-focused media across the continent.) Even though this section of the book addresses “The Role of the Youth in African Development," the message goes to all youths and young professionals in other developing nations of the world.
 
Find out why Dr. Pipim argues in THE AFRICAN GIANT that “Africans are like the elephant in the zoo.”  The book will challenge all Africans and friends of Africa to work towards the liberation of the MENTAL chains that have replaced the METAL chains of the African Elephant.
