Effect of Health Expenditure on Life Expectancy

Life Expectancy

Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

What defines a philosophical tradition? The primacy of the written text and individual authorship are two major defining and interwoven credentials that have been used to deny African philosophical thought prior to the postcolonial phase. In this significant contribution to the search for identity and authenticity of African philosophy, Elvis Imafidon questions the relevance of authorship and textuality in the production, storage and transmission of knowledge. Drawing from the rich and robust philosophical heritages of sub-Saharan African traditions, he showcases the many non-textual and textual ways philosophy is collaboratively and intersubjectively done and critiqued. His focus is on two major repositories of philosophical knowledges: orality and symbolism. Storytelling, adages, names and naming, folklores, proverbs and forms of symbolically encoded knowledges found in artefacts, symbols, textile patterns, motifs and corporeal and performative arts contest dominant narratives. They ask us to rethink the logic of binaries between literacy and illiteracy, text and non-text, and speech and writing. Paying close attention to the Binis and Esans in Southern Nigeria, the Akans and Gas in Ghana, the Shonas in Zimbabwe, and the Zulu people in South Africa, Imafidon affirms the place of orality, symbolic art and different indigenous methods for philosophising. Exploring the concept of street philosophy in Nigeria, we see how oral and symbolic forms of philosophizing persist in modern African societies. This much-needed book reclaims the voices, agency and narratives of African thought across history revealing the deeply embedded intersubjective and ecocentric Intellegence, and enigmatics of African philosophy. It challenges our understanding of the discipline of Philosophy and argues for an inclusive definition of philosophy in our trans-human, trans-textual age.

Doing African Philosophy

'Deeply moving and necessary'ANNE ENRIGHT'A must-read'iPAPER'Remarkable ... affecting'NEW STATESMAN'Original and heart-warming' LINDSEY HILSUMFrom the Orwell Prize-winning author of My Fourth Time, We Drownedcomes a powerful account of human resilience, capturing our capacity for love and connection against all odds.We live in an era defined by crisis - whether it be war and displacement, or climate collapse and rapidly widening inequality. Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she's witnessed the love and care of everyday people.Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants. We meet a group of Syrian women searching tirelessly for their missing spouses and children, while launching a call for justice, and learn about letters from the bereaved to the dead, still being written over a decade after the tsunami that devastated Japan.In stories that crisscross the globe, from Uganda to Lebanon, Rwanda to Iraq, Hayden asks us: what if news was recounted through the actions people take for those they love? Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.'Moving ...

Die Küste, die unsere Zukunft bestimmt.Bis Ende des Jahrhunderts wird Afrika die Heimat von 40 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung sein. Nirgendwo vollzieht sich dieser Wandel so rasant wie an der westafrikanischen Küste zwischen Abidjan und Lagos: Auf Tausend Kilometern entsteht hier die größte urbane Zone der Welt. Ein Megacluster aus Millionenstädten und ein global einzigartiger Ort.&nbsp; 
Doch was bedeutet das für Afrika, Europa, die Welt? Und wie genau sieht sie aus, diese afrikanische Zukunft? Auf der Suche nach Antworten begibt sich der Journalist und Afrika-Kenner Fabian Urech auf eine Reise entlang dieser Küste, macht Halt in Fabriken, Musikclubs und an Schmuggelrouten. Unterhält sich mit Zugezogenen, Unternehmern und Goldgräbern. Dabei entsteht ein eindrucksvolles Porträt einer Region, die das 21. Jahrhundert prägen wird.

However, beyond the lands they called home, so few of us have heard their names. From pre-colonial Nigeria to the rich plains of Rwanda, from Ancient Egypt to apartheid South Africa, historian Akpan writes the stories of these powerful queens and takes you on a spellbinding, enrapturing and immersive journey that is nothing short of revelatory.

When We Ruled

A NEW YORK TIMES MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 'AFFECTING' TELEGRAPH 'ENGROSSING' ECONOMIST 'MIRACULOUS' WIRED 'MORE THAN CRIME REPORTAGE' WALL STREET JOURNAL When his mother fell for an 'American soldier' who promised to send gold bars to their Madrid apartment, Carlos Barragán found himself with an unexpected window into the shadowy world of online romance fraud. He set off on a journey to find his mother's scammer, but what he discovered was much bigger: a world of young Nigerian men who drag themselves out of destitution by catfishing lonely hearts in the US and Europe, in the process building a dizzying local economy from their phones.The Yahoo Boys follows four scammers in Ikotun - one of Lagos's poorest neighbourhoods, a scant ten miles from the gleaming heart of the megacity. Through their twisting fortunes, Barragán discovers the psychological tactics they perfect, the economic desperation that drives them, and the moral dilemmas they face. A work of radical empathy, this astonishing narrative nonfiction debut reveals the human face behind a global phenomenon, and shows how isolation in the West and poverty in Nigeria are just two sides of the same screen.

The Yahoo Boys

With his eightieth birthday looming, it crossed Michael Palin's mind that now might be the time to hang up his boots, to lounge about at home, to take things easy. Then the opportunity to visit Africa's most populous nation arose. A few weeks later, he was at Lagos airport, camera crew in tow.The journal he kept during his trip offers a fascinatingly kaleidoscopic view of a country where some 500 languages are spoken and which contains within its borders everything from tropical rainforests to grasslands to desert plains. At one moment he is in vibrant but chaotic Lagos, the next in the seemingly deserted streets of Nigeria's hyper-modern capital, Abuja, the next in the polluted oil fields of the Niger Delta. He is welcomed as an honoured guest by a powerful emir and harangued by a passerby in Benin City. He hears the testimony of a kidnap victim of the terrorist group Boko Haram and experiences the collective spiritual ecstasy of one of Nigeria's mega churches. And throughout his trip, he experiences at first hand the contradictions of a country that has so much natural wealth and human talent and yet simultaneously grapples with corruption, religious strife and deep inequality.Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and brimming with wry humour and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country.

In Nigeria

Augenblicke in Nigeria - Durch das Objektiv betrachtet - 

Lachen, Tanzen, Feiern.... Nachdenklichkeit, Trauer, Ratlosigkeit...

Eine Vielzahl an Augenblicken durften wir innerhalb von zwölf Tagen "Kulturreise 2025" in Umunohu (Bundesstaat IMO-State - das ist im Osten Nigerias), der Heimat von Ober-Grafendorfs Pfarrer Mag. Dr. Emeka Emeakaroha, kurz: "Der Emeka", erleben. 
¿ Hunderte lachende Patenkinder.
¿ Scharen von Schülern in der Emeakaroha Foundation School
¿ glückliche Gesichter im Madonna Austrian Hospital Ihitte
¿ gastfreundliche Familienmitglieder und Dorfbewohner 
Diese geballte Ansammlung unterschiedlichster Augenblicke ist uns in den Köpfen erhalten geblieben. 

Wir möchten genau diese Augenblicke weitergeben. Darum haben wir viele dieser einzigartigen Momente durch unsere Objektive betrachtet, mit unseren Kameras eingefangen und in Form von Schwarz-Weiß-Fotos konserviert. Blättern Sie weiter, und kommen Sie mit nach Nigeria.

Augenblicke in Nigeria - Durch das Objektiv betrachtet

Als seine Mutter erzählt, dass sie sich im Netz in jemanden verliebt hat, der ihr Goldbarren schicken will, weiß Carlos sofort, was los ist: ein Romance Scam, eine Form des Internetbetrugs, bei denen Opfern unter falscher Identität Nähe vorgegaukelt wird, um an Geld zu kommen. Carlos kann seiner Mutter beweisen, dass alle E-Mails ihres Verehrers aus Nigeria stammen, und der Spuk ist vorbei, doch nun lassen ihn, den jungen Investigativjournalisten, die vielen Fragen nicht mehr los. Warum fällt jemand auf so was rein? Wer steckt bitte hinter dieser zeitintensiven Betrugsmasche? Carlos reist nach Lagos. Er schleust sich ein in die Welt der Love Scammer, begleitet vier von ihnen für ein Jahr. Anhand ihrer wechselhaften Schicksale versteht er die Psychologie des Romance Scams, erfährt von der Ausweglosigkeit einer ganzen Generation, von ihrem verschwenderischen Lifestyle, ihrer Erschöpfung und den moralischen Dilemmata. Und wie sich die Einsamkeit im Westen auf verblüffende Weise spiegelt in der Armut Nigerias.
Vielschichtiges Porträt Nigerias samt seiner Megametropole Lagos, rührende Mutter-Sohn-Geschichte, erschütternder Bericht von den Frontlinien moderner Einsamkeit - Hi Honey erweitert eindrucksvoll den Blick, auf die Art unseres Alleinseins und den afrikanischen Kontinent.
