THE RISING AND FALLING IN AFRICA

About the Book

The Rising and Falling in Africa is a chronicle of a traditional African society and its culture, long before colonialism during the era of slavery up to date. The story reveals the effects of slave trade and colonialism on races in ancient Africa and how the continent rises from ‘primitivity’ to civilization and eventually loses its sense of originality with a wrong conviction of races besides misuse of political power, public funds, and facilities. This is depicted through Omalo, a traditional West African king, whose generation suffers the effects of slave trade and colonialism in ancient Africa as punishment from Amadioha Ofufe, the gods of the land, after king Omalo failed to participate in part of the land’s tradition. Ibu, however, takes over power from the colonial rulers in Buwanga chiefdom, as foretold by Were Khakaba the gods of the East through a seer, succeeded by Jonathan who is executed in the end. Although, his grandson finally saves his country, Democratic Republic of Lumakanda, from ignorance and poverty under its first female president, thereafter reviving the safety of the nation for all races of the world.
