The book “Unraveling the Corridors of Power: A focus on Human Rights, Social Work, and Leaders of Nations” was carefully crafted and put together as a triple barrel titled book. It was published by the University of Nigeria, Press Limited, and aimed to fill the long noticed absence of a book that reflects on how and why leaders should implement human rights documents and Social Work (Social Welfare and Social Development) in all societies.
This unique book is academic, inspiring, and historic in its contents. It explicitly unveiled the fact that the human race is now at its point of extinction and some of the salient points behind the nation's multifaceted problems are just because of power tussle, poverty of the minds and pockets, religious intolerance, and fanatism, fame, materialism, and corruption. Following from the aforementioned, chapter 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, becomes a MUST READ for lovers of equity, justice, and peace.
Obviously, some breeds of humans are now actively aiming at wiping out the human population. If not so, why are the nations faced with all these destructive and sophisticated terrorist acts of mass-destruction, non-stop killings, and deaths across the globe? This book challenged all the good spirit-minded human beings to rise up and accept their noble service responsibilities in challenging these social ills, as agents of change in our societies.
This book categorically elaborated that human rights organizations and Social workers globally should be given their professional rights and place to operate without distractions by the actors in governments. The author clearly presented some verifiable facts that caution leaders and their followers on the urgent need to have a rethink and live a life of revolution and not just a process of evolution. He maintains that the rise, fall, or sustainability of leaders of nations, is a function of the leader's disposition to demonstrate human rights and social work which must be narrowed down to social welfare and social development in their nations.
Mathias Onuoha in his book, vividly posits that human family wellness, world peace, and security could only be achieved if there is a radical socio-economic and political change of actions, thought, and style of administration by our leaders. He pointed out that change out-comes must reflect on selfless service to humanity, integrity, social justice, human rights, best social welfare practice, the reward for good works, respect for human dignity, and the importance of human relationships in nations. Neglect or respect to all these social facts, he said, determines the future of man and generations come in all societies.
