West Africa’s Development, the West African Diaspora, and Preparation for Future Pandemics
This paper examines future pandemics in West Africa, the region’s development, the role of the West African diaspora, especially in the United States, and the need to establish an Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) University System. West African countries were not as seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of infections and deaths. With an area of 6.144 sq. km (62% of the area of the United States), it is endowed wit…
The Prevalence of Temperate Climates in Capital Cities across Africa
This study examines the prevalence of temperate climates in capital cities/regions across Africa. Sixteen (27.6%) of the 58 capital cities/regions in Africa have elevation levels of 1000 meters or higher, ranging from 1011 meters to 2405 meters. Of 40 capital cities/regions in Africa, 17 (42.5%) have very pleasant average annual maximum daytime temperatures ranging from 73.04 degrees to 83.12 degrees. For the minimum annual nighttime temperatures…
The Migration of Black People to Regions in Africa with Temperate Climates
This paper examines the migration of Black people to temperate regions across Africa. The paper finds that there are two major migrations of Black people in the past decade. The first is the migration of people across various countries and regions in Africa. The second migration is the return of Black people from the African diaspora to Africa. Both groups are migrating to the political and economic capitals of Africa. Political and economic capi…
Sierra Leone
This paper examines the concept of Sierra Leone serving historically as a cultural capital of Pan-Africanism. Culture is examined from the perspectives of race, language, formal educational attainment, and religion, especially Christianity. Racially and ethnically, the people of Sierra Leone today are the descendants of not just native Sierra Leoneans, but also natives of dozens of other Sub-Saharan African nations, and people of Black African de…
Gendering Environment and Climate Change in the Economic Community of West African States & the East African Community
The heightened prospect of a “rising Africa” stems from multiple developments across the continent. Technological innovation, economic empowerment, increasing female leadership, and more continue to raise the fortunes of African countries. As regional economic communities engage with Agenda 2063, an ambitious endeavor to support and sustain economic development, a gendering environment is pivotal to any ensuing progress. Using the case studies of…
Explaining Africa’s Rapid Population Growth, 1950 to 2020
This study examines the rapid growth of Africa’s population in the post-World War II era. The study finds that Africa’s population increased by over 1 billion, from 228.7 million in 1950 to 1.341 billion in 2020: 431 million in Eastern Africa; 404 million in Western Africa; 247.5 million in Northern Africa; 193.5 million in Middle Africa; and 64.5 million in Southern Africa. There are four countries in Africa with populations of 100 million or mo…
MacArthur Fellows, 1981-2018
This study examines the backgrounds of the winners of the MacArthur Fellowship grants from 1981 to 2018, from the conceptual framework of the term “genius”.

Of 965 termina…
Educational Attainment, Citizenship, and Black American Women in Elected and Appointed National Leadership Positions
This article examines the issue of American citizenship and how it is related to Black Americans, especially from the perspectives of educational attainment and national political leadership positions (focusing on the U.S. Senate, office of governor, and the U.S. Supreme Court). The article presents seven interrelated conceptual or theoretical perspectives of American citizenship (Three Citizenships; Gender; Equality; Race; Belonging; Military Se…
Challenges to the Study of Islamic Education in African Universities
This article examines the challenges to the study of Islamic education in African colleges and universities. I claim that such a study, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, is not a priority even though Muslims accounted for 44 percent of the continent’s population in 2009 and 22 of its nations have a Muslim population of 50 percent or more. I present four main factors responsible for this phenomenon: European colonization; the relatively small numb…

African American Women Voters
This article reviews a book written by Lisa Nikol Nealy entitled: African American Women Voters: Racializing Religiosity, Political Consciousness and Progressive Political Action in U.S. Presidential Elections from 1964 Through 2008 (2009). I extracted the following themes from the book: (1) the importance and influence of the Black church or religious organizations and their leaders on the level of political participation of African Americans, e…
Black American Females as Geniuses
Life Expectancy, Death Rates, Geography, and Black People
Just as Black Americans have the lowest life expectancy and highest death rates among the many racial and ethnic groups in the United States, so also are Black Africans in Africa the racial group with the lowest life expectancy and highest death rates among all the nations of the world. This article presents a statistical world overview of the life expectancy and death rates of people of Black African descent
The Numerical Distribution of Muslims in Africa
This quantitative research study shows the numbers and percentages of Muslims in Africa, relative to Christians and Africans who continue to practice their traditional religions, within the continent’s five regions (viz., Eastern, Middle, Northern, Southern, and Western), as of July 2009. It also presents religious breakdowns for those nations that are currently or at one time were partly or fully colonized by European powers. The statistics show…
African Americans and U.S. Politics
This paper argues that since the 1960s, African Americans have substantially increased their political participation in the U.S. political system. It claims that Blacks in the U.S. have built a strong political foundation and that their influence in the country's political system has grown within the past four decades. The paper highlights, however, that more Black women tend to be active participants in the electoral process than Black men and t…
