Western Politics Vs African Politics compares the American and European political systems to Nigerian and West African politics.
The senseless killings of innocent people and children, bad governance, bribery and corruption have taken over the politics of Africans. Today, Africans are dwelling in poverty and backwardness while other countries and continents are doing well. The reason I wrote this book while on a week-long vacation in Africa was to compare Western politics to African politics — to find out what has gone wrong in African political systems. Africans are not doing well because the polity is a mess and needs immediate attention before it is too late. WESTERN POLITICS VS AFRICAN POLITICS compares the American and European political systems to Nigerian and West African politics. It explains in great detail the differences, mistakes, similarities and difficulties of these two continents in terms of good governance.
Excerpt

Reviews for "African Politics Vs Western Politics"
I have heard several of my African friends from Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Cameroon complain of the same problem. They are all well educated like you and have immigrated to the United States.

On the other hand, I recently read an article in Playboy describing how Lagos has become a thriving economic center. The biggest concern I have is the rapid deforestation, loss of wildlife, and drought that is making farming more and more difficult. And so many are fleeing politically unstable areas as nomadic refugees.
It is people like you and my friends who can make the difference and make change in your countries. Perhaps by going back and entering politics. United States and various charities are certainly pouring a lot of money into projects of improvement. I'm encouraged by solar initiatives to replace charcoal for cooking and electricity to remote villages, well projects provide clean water, and computer initiatives provide education and connection to the rest of the world.
From the land of the milked and honeyed here’s a few political faux pas and a bit of attitude exposed to the harsh light of a Canadian who actually has their own opinion.
