Any fan or irer of Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, 2pac, Wole Soyinka, Kwame Nkrumah, etc., etc. will agree that this book is expounding on what they have preached and also what it means to be a black person.  Perhaps many of our people will wake up to realise that our ancestors are GREAT and NOBLE people. 
The fact that a pastor of a very big church in the UK authored the book will help open the minds and eyes of many people to some of the facts in this book and the history of BLACK AFRICA, unshackle the minds that believe anything African/Black is negative and free us from the many anecdotes relating to Africa and the Oyinbo man.  One Ghanaian friend told me that in his village there is this belief that when you leave your house on the way to church and meet an Oyinboman on the road - go back home cos you have seen God!
Many of our educated elites and leaders will want to make the average man on the street in Nigeria believe that somebody like Baba70 is an "amugbo" expounding nonsense.  Our honorable Pastor has taken the crusade further - I ask myself - could it be that the katakata the British govt is giving our man is one of the reasons he decided to put pen to paper now?  (I do agree that he is an educator and has published many educative and Christians), but as a critical human being, this came to mind when I read the book.
