Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-26 00:00:00 Kiva Bolton A comprehensive research work, the author took us to pre-independence Ibadan and carefully explored the characters that shaped the developments and politics of Ibadan. A balance read devoid of sentiments and all that. The book is your plug if you need to understand the chieftaincy system in Ibadan which is over 150 years now, the custom and traditional of Ibadan. Good work

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-11 00:00:00 Andrew Stevenson As much as this biography was written in a very academic format there were times when I just couldn't put it down (strange right)? Maybe it was the fact that going into this book I only knew two things about Martin Van Buren, the first being his name, and the second was that he was the 8th president of the US. Fairly obvious but I do believe that is what 99% of the population know about Van Buren as well. Sure Van Buren wasn't a memorable president. He didn't have the stature of Washington, the speaking ability of John Adams, he wasn't as debonaire as Jefferson, and he certainly didn't have the temper or hot-headedness of Jackson, but he did posess an ability to "puppet master" the best of them and earned himself the nickname of "Little Magician". Van Buren was a master at looking at an issue without a strong opinion one way or the other and then crafting his stance on the issue in a way to use it to his ability to succeed. Although he straddled the fence on many important issues at the time, he was a firm believer in a two-party system and fought for the same throughout his political career. In my opinion Van Buren was the first president to take office that was a true politician and was able to manipulate the system and the public. He is the first president that I have read about who reminds me of the politicians of today.
