  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Awolowo's Political Philosophy
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 27 (2): 138-143, 2019 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2019 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2019.138.143 Awolowo’s Political Philosophy: A Panacea For Good Governance Philip G. Nnaemeka Agashi Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria Abstract: The fundamental basic rule of life is on the centre of Awolowo’s theory of mental magnitude as an avenue to free Nigeria and Africa in general from the social ills. The idea of a responsible and responsive government is to wage war against the social ills which culminate on the following; illiteracy, corruption unemployment robbery, violence and terrorism. The African continent remains underdeveloped due to the high magnitude of the social ills. More so, it is due to absolute negligence of the leaders towards the fundamental rule of life. For Obafemi Awolowo the realistic nature of good governance is based on the basic rule of life that good begets good while evil begets evil. He understood love as the basic rule of life for leaders who have passion in achieving good and effective governance. Therefore the paper advocates the moral and political philosophy of Abafemi Awolowo as a panacea for good governance in the continent of Africa. Key words: Governance Political Philosophy and Nigeria INTRODUCTION human development as published by UNDP. Every successive government mainly after the first military coup Nigeria is endowed with abundant economic (natural) in Nigeria has been characterized by corruption and bad and human resources but the greatest problem facing leadership, thereby shattering the dreams of our founding Nigeria is the idea of effective leadership.

  • Elections in Anglophone African Countries 41 Yolanda Sadie 4 5 3 Youth Participation in Anglophone Africa 79 Victoria Graham
    This book compares the progress ten select countries, all former colonies of Britain, have made towards the practice of democracy. The authors assess a range of indicators including the quality of elections, the impact of voter turnout, the importance of term limits, civil society’s various responsibilities, the presence of media freedoms, the impact of youth participation, accountability and the rising role of social media. These findings help illustrate the various periods within each country’s democracy from the immediate post-colonial experience, to the emergence of one-party states, to the surge of multi-party elections that are being influenced by key political figures and technology. This book will be of great interest to a broad readership including students of politics, international relations and history at tertiary educational institutions as well as the wider readership that is keen to understand what has shaped the post-colonial political experience of some key Anglophone African countries.

  • 1 Interrogating the Plausibility of Ideological Classification of Nigerian Society Richard Taye Oyelakin
    Interrogating the Plausibility of Ideological Classification of Nigerian Society Richard Taye Oyelakin http://dx.doi.org//10.4314/ujah.v17i 2.1 Abstract It is almost a theoretical truism that a society comprises different groups of people held together by common ideas, goals, and social-political and economic principles. These ideas, goals and principles precipitated different ideological groupings depending on the nature and supporting history of such society. Resulting from the differences in ideas, goals and principles in such a society, one ideological group is classified from the other. Consequently, talking about the organization of some Western societies namely, the United Kingdom, there are some diverse but sometimes competing ideological schools. Typically, we have the Conservative, the Liberal and the Radical Left. However, attempts are made to define African politico-economic structures along these foreign ideological classifications. This originates from the view that an ideological classification which originated and is working in some particular Western society must also work in typical African society. Whereas, the latter is not only different in its theoretical framework but also in its historical background. Consequently, this paper seeks to interrogate the justification of such classification of Nigerian society. The paper intends to submit that attempting to classify Nigerian politico-economic structure into these ideological frameworks is not only contradictory to the nature of our society, but also that such classifications are just conceptual acronyms for pseudo classes. 1 UJAH: Unizik Journal of Arts and Humanities Introduction There is bound to be a distortion of intellectual perception, especially when issues are not put into their correct perspectives.
