Visiting professor in graduate programme of constitutional law at Universidade de Fortaleza and specialist on the state and on genocide and wars in Africa in the post-1966 epoch – beginning with the Igbo genocide, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970. This is the foundational and most gruesome genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa. 3.1 million Igbo or a quarter of its population were murdered by the Nigeria state and allies. Africa and the rest of the world largely stood by and watched as the perpetrators enacted this horror most ruthlessly. The world could have stopped this genocide; the world should have stopped this genocide. This genocide inaugurated Africa's current age of pestilence. During the period, 12 million additional Africans have been murdered in further genocide in Rwanda (1994), Zaïre/Democratic Republic of the Congo (variously, since the late 1990s) and Darfur/Nuba Mts/South Kordofan (all in Sudan since 2003) and in other wars in Africa. In the last 39 years, I have researched, published, taught and lectured extensively (in Africa, Europe, the US, South America) on the state and political economy of genocide and conflicts in Africa and in alternative political institutions and systems. Africans have, presently, no other choice but dismantle the extant Berlin-state/genocide-state - the bane of their existence and progress - and construct new African peoples-centred states of civilisation. My publications include the following books: The longest genocide – since 29 May 1966: Essays (2019), Why Donald Trump is great for Africa [with Lakeson Okwuonicha] (2018), Readings from Reading: Essays on African Politics, Genocide, Literature (2011), Biafra Revisited (2006), African Literature in Defence of History: An Essay on Chinua Achebe (2001), Africa 2001: The State, Human Rights and the People (1994), Issues in Nigerian Politics Since the Fall of the Second Republic (1991), Conflict and Intervention in Africa (1990), Biafra War, Nigeria and the Aftermath (1990)
Besides time working as an independent scholar dedicated primarily to researching, writing, publishing widely, and travelling on the Igbo genocide, the longest and most virulently pursued and sustained genocide of the contemporary epoch, since 29 May 1966, I have variously held teaching positions in politics, history and literature at Goldsmiths College (University of London), Birkbeck College (University of London), Open University, City Literary Institute, London, Workers' Educational Association (Buckinghamshire, Islington, Middlesex), International Institute for African Research, Reading, Centre for Cross-Cultural Studies, Dakar, and the University of Calabar, as well as visiting posts at the London School of Economics, Manchester Metropolitan University, Coventry University and University of Suffolk (Dakar Campus).
