This book comes to educate, re-enlighten, entertain curious minds, and stiffly challenge traditionalism in the academia - all at the same time. It is frantalkist (calls a spade a spade), crisebacological (balanced critical thinking), expibasketical (experience-based learning and taeching) and highly informative. It aims at reversing the abstract-learning trend by relating education and living to people's day-to-day realities. It brings to the entire world the Immaculate Freedom, Unity and Development Theory from Africa that is anchored on the trinity of Crisebacology, Frantalkism and Giveantakism. You wouldn't expect to hear everything here from me, of course. Better go inside where I have actually done the lecturing and discover the treasure for yourself!
