Summary: A true Capitalist Indeed
Review: Dr. Onyeani,

Capitalism from what I have come to understand is a euphemism for opportunism, better yet exploitation. While I have not studied your chronicles (book) in detail, an entrepreneur myself, I am led to beleieve that the aim of the book is to exploit your own race for fame and gain. Pardon my attention to detail, one not need look further than the front cover of your book where you and your marketing folk have emboldened the word "Nigger".

It would seem you are the one who lacks self esteem by admitting and self-proclaiming your self a "Nigger". That said, I am a capitalist myself, not a philosopher, pacifist, or nationalist. If there is any such thing as a decent capitalist, I implore you to at a minimum take a decent approach in plying your trade.

Thank you

Summary: from an african-american to a african
Review: Mr. Onyeani's book is the best book I read by an African on the state of the race in Africa and the rest of the Diaspora. He pulls no punches in showing how Africans worldwide are economically dependent on others. He criticizes his fellow Africans in Africa, African immigrants in the u.s., African-Americans, and Caribbean-Americans. He shows the lack of entrepreneurship by Africans can be traced to a deep belief of the inate inferiority of our race and the superiority of other races. He is correct in saying that many Africans have more reverance for the European, the Asian, the Jew and others than for God. One can look at our women and men who dye their hair all colors of the spectrum. Carlos Cooks of the African Nationalist Pioneer Movement said that the hair has more sense than this brainwashed person, because it always returns to its natural state.

The book calls for aggressive pursuit of capitalism, taking charge of one's destiny, and seeking out advice in your path to success. It puts out a challenge to Africans, "If you see yourselves as equal to other human beings, you must prepare yourself to play and win the game of capitalism as we do in sports, music dance and the military .This book also makes subtle calls for Black unity that has been call ed for by various leaders such Marcus Garvey, Carlos Cooks, Malcolm X, Kwame Ture (stokely Carmichael) Kwame Nkrumah and others. A united Black world economically independent will be a site to behold. I have committed myself to buying the author's newspaper "the African Sun-Times" in order to better understand and communicate with my brothers and sisters from the motherland.

Summary: Ridiculous
Review: The author of this book is right when he says that black people have low self-esteem. What I don't like about this book is that while the author criticizes blacks for trying to look white, he advocates blacks adopting white culture. In fact, capitalism was invented by whites, and was the political/economiacal system responsible for slavery, racism, and colonialism. If you are proud of being black, you should instead live an African lifestyle, respecting the earth, the environment, and other tribes. Africans enjoyed of much more cultural diversity and natural resouces because they knew how to respect the land. Following the steps of the whites will only prove that you are a good copy-cat, and that you have no pride for the rich culture of your ancestors. The very word sucess in this book is completely seen from a white perspective, in which a person's worth is measured by money and education.
