The Covenant & the Promises of God

By: Dr Lawrence Ajayi

In this book, the covenant and the promises of God the Father and God the Son had in an agreement regarding the elect (being the children of God from the covenant statutes). This covenant was made before the universe was created, and it consisted of the Father promising to bring to the Son all whom the Father had to give the world. The Eternal Covenant, then, leads to the Covenant of Grace. Whereas the Eternal Covenant was made between the Father and the Son, the Covenant of Grace was made between God and Man. In this latter covenant, God promises to Man eternal salvation based upon the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross The manifestation of that covenant occurs in our world in a sequence of additional covenants that God made with individuals. This leads to liberation from poverty, sicknesses and destruction. Such as well and examples is well treated in this book from Abraham ,Isaac,Jacob.

Decolonizing Social Work

By: Dr Tiani Hetherington,Professor John Coates,Professor Mel Gray,Professor Michael Yellow Bird

Riding on the success of Indigenous Social Work Around the World, this book provides case studies to further scholarship on decolonization, a major analytical and activist paradigm among many of the world’s Indigenous Peoples, including educators, tribal leaders, activists, scholars, politicians, and citizens at the grassroots level. Decolonization seeks to weaken the effects of colonialism and create opportunities to promote traditional practices in contemporary settings. Establishing language and cultural programs; honouring land claims, teaching Indigenous history, science, and ways of knowing; self-esteem programs, celebrating ceremonies, restoring traditional parenting approaches, tribal rites of passage, traditional foods, and helping and healing using tribal approaches are central to decolonization. These insights are brought to the arena of international social work still dominated by western-based approaches. Decolonization draws attention to the effects of globalization and the universalization of education, methods of practice, and international ‘development’ that fail to embrace and recognize local knowledges and methods. In this volume, Indigenous and non-Indigenous social work scholars examine local cultures, beliefs, values, and practices as central to decolonization. Supported by a growing interest in spirituality and ecological awareness in international social work, they interrogate trends, issues, and debates in Indigenous social work theory, practice methods, and education models including a section on Indigenous research approaches. The diversity of perspectives, decolonizing methodologies, and the shared struggle to provide effective professional social work interventions is reflected in the international nature of the subject matter and in the mix of contributors who write from their contexts in different countries and cultures, including Australia, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN WESTERN NIGERIA: ABEOKUTA, 1830-1952.

A CASE STUDY OF EXEMPLARY INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE

By: Dr. Akinniyi Savage

The purpose of this book, Local Government in Western Nigeria: Abeokuta, 1830-1952, A case study of exemplary institutional change, is to delineate the democratization process of governmental institutions in the city of Abeokuta, western Nigeria, during the 1940s and 1950s. The Egba at Abeokuta were chosen because they are an important ethnicity within the Yoruba, the then third most populous ethnic group in Nigeria. The period from 1939 to 1952 marks the time when western Nigeria was ruled via the native administration system - the local governmental structure instituted by the British. However, the historiography of the Egba is elongated to include the formation of Abeokuta in 1830. By 1952, government was nominally extended to every constituency in Abeokuta. This presaged the comprehensive democratization movement in Nigeria.
