Surviving the Post–Biafran War by Navigating the Igbo People's Igba‐Boi Apprenticeship Model of Entrepreneurship
After the Nigerian Civil War, the Biafrans started from scratch through trades, mostly adopting the igba‐boi apprenticeship system in Nigeria. This paper examines the impact of the igba‐boi entrepreneurship system in post‐Biafra for the survival of the Igbo identity. Historical–analytical and documentary methods were adopted in this investigation, through primary and secondary sources. This study found different phases of the igba‐boi‐apprentices…

Adventitious Presence of Patented Genetically Modified Organisms on Private Premises: Is Intent Necessary for Actions in Infringement Against the Property Owner
The law of patents has long struggled with the status of intent in determining liability for infringement. This struggle has recently been given a sharper edge by the emergence of biotechnological products with the inherent ability of auto-dispersal and regeneration. The question thus is whether a person on whose backyard a patented genetic organism has grown without the active intervention of that person is liable in infringement to the patentee…
Collective Insecurity: The Liberian Crisis, Unilateralism, and Global Order
Africa’s notorious civil wars and seemingly endless conflicts constitute one of the most intractable threats to global peace and security in the post-Cold War era. This book provides both a superb analysis of the historical dysfunction of the post-colonial African state generally and, more specifically, a probing critique of the crisis that resulted in the tragic collapse of Liberia. Using a historical deconstruction and reconstruction of the the…
Global Biopiracy: Patents, Plants, and Indigenous Knowledge
Legal control and ownership of plants and traditional knowledge of the uses of plants (TKUP) is a vexing issue. The phenomenon of appropriation of plants and TKUP, otherwise known as biopiracy, thrives in a cultural milieu where non-Western forms of knowledge are systemically marginalized and devalued as "folk knowledge" or characterized as inferior. Global Biopiracy rethinks the role of international law and legal concepts, the Western-based, Eu…
The civilised self and the barbaric other: Imperial delusions of order and the challenges of human security
In the aftermath of the military conflicts of 1936 – 45, there seemed to be a global renunciation of war as an instrument of state policy. Shortly thereafter, however, decades of ideological attrition between the major powers and the inherent perversion of postcolonial states reduced the solemn declarations of 1945 to ineffectual rhetoric. Underpinning the decline and demise of a human-centred approach to global peace and security is the enduring…
The Juridical Origins of the International Patent System: Towards a Historiography of the Role of Patents in Industrialization
Given the controversial and indeed, ideological tenor of the various claims by many “patent systems” as to authorship of the patent system, this article engages in an historical reconstruction of the evolution and development of the modern juridical system of patents.In the analysis, various competing “histories” of the patent system are examined, evaluated and their veracity as the origin of the patent system are resolved. In my view, the compet…
Beyond Rhetoric: State Sovereignty, Common Concern, and the Inapplicability of the Common Heritage Concept to Plant Genetic Resources
Until the emergence of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992 and the FAO Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources in 2001, opinion had hardened in some quarters that the principle of a common heritage of mankind regulated international transfer of plant genetic resources. By a historical analysis of customary international law in the colonial age and the recent pedigree of the principle of common heritage, this article points out the fallacies …
