Keynote Speakers

Professor Raphael C. Njoku is Graduate Chair of African History at University of Louisville, United States of America who holds doctorates from the Vrije University at Brussels (2001) and Dalhousie University (2003). He is a specialist in African History and Politics, African Social and Economic History, African Culture and Development. Professor Njoku is the author of the famous work Culture and Customs of Morocco (Greenwood, 2005), and African Cultural Values: Igbo Political Leadership in Colonial Nigeria 1900–1966 (Routledge, 2006). He is also co-editor of Missions, States and Colonial Expansion in Africa (Routledge 2007). He has also published 20 articles in scholarly journals, edited volumes, and encyclopedias. With a fellowship from the New York based Schomburg Center for Research in Black Studies, he is currently working on a new book project entitled Symbols and Meanings of African Masks and Carnival of the Diaspora.
As a scholar, Professor Njoku had been devoted to the search for answers to contemporary Africa’s issues. Africa today poses more questions than answers. To the world, Africa pleads for understanding—yes, a crucial understanding about its culture, its peoples, and its setbacks. Until it is understood at what point the “rain of depredation” started beating the people, it might be difficult to reverse the precarious situation of the continent today. His mission is to continue to search for answers to the Big Puzzle through research and teaching while hoping that a better knowledge of the people, their culture, their psychology, and their worldview hold the key to Africa’s future.
