Even in dictatorships, political power remains vulnerable without the support of the masses, especially when they are willing to fully express that lack of confidence. This demonstrates how important popular support is to the acquisition & retention of political power.Yet, mass movements, as important as they are, CANNOT deliver political power in isolation. They must combine with other distributed sources of power.In this third offering of Boqer School's “King's Men” series, we study the role, limitations, vulnerabilities, & instigation of mass movements.Good intention is not enough. Good governance enthusiasts must add to their credentials the ability to understand & mobilise political power at will.-------------Boqer School of Governance exists to teach Biblical truth as it applies to societal and governance issues.We hold live virtual classes every Wednesday and Sunday at 9:00 PM (WAT) via Google Meet.Meeting Link: https://meet.google.com/sgg-pxmm-vckTo join our growing community or get more information, visit: linktr.ee/BoqerSchool Africa’s morning is at hand.Chima Christian

If knowledge is power, then it is safe to say that those with access to classified, or difficult to reach information, enjoy certain advantages over those who do not have such access.But what is often overlooked is the knowledge readily available to everyone, which only few can interpret or action correctly.For example, everyone in the city of Jericho had access to the same information Rahab had. But only Rahab acted in a way that preserved life.In this 21st offering of Boqer School's 32 Days of Governance, we meditate on “Rahab: The Knowledge That Saves.” -------------Boqer School of Governance exists to teach Biblical truth as it applies to societal and governance issues.We hold live virtual classes every Wednesday and Sunday at 9:00 PM (WAT) via Google Meet.Meeting Link: https://meet.google.com/sgg-pxmm-vckTo join our growing community or get more information, visit: linktr.ee/BoqerSchool Africa’s morning is at hand.Chima Christian

While everyone has a role to play in nation building, the reality is that the tent pegs of any nation are fastened by only a handful of individuals.The debate between marxism and capitalism that once raged in our policy rooms has quietened, leaving behind an ash tray of disjointed architectural design.The undeniable success of the Chinese model and also the kingdoms of Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar has not helped our experimental tinkering of the foisted Americo-European governance model.It hurts to admit this, but many African leaders are struggling to anchor their developmental strides on a coherent set of ideals.As Africa reaches down to own its developmental trajectory, is there something to be learned from Abraham and the founding fathers of the nation Israel?Participate in our free virtual governance masterclass by 9:00 PM (WAT) this evening, Sun.
