dc.descriptionThe Issue 2847 of West Africa Magazine (week ending 7th January 1972) rings in the new year with sober reflections and big news. Published in London/distributed in Apapa, it surveys 1971’s lessons for West Africa, dissects Nigeria’s Ibadan riot aftermath, and spotlights three hot African literature tomes. Plus: Ghana’s shocker devaluation and OAU defence talks. Highlights include “Lessons of Africa’s year”, pondering shared challenges/opportunities; “Ibadan riots verdict” publishes the delayed probe findings, months later; Books raves about Ramsaran/Cartey/Heywood on African lit, from fresh angles to poetic “whispers”. Elsewhere: Ghana slashes its cedi by 48% after Nixon’s dollar move (Commercial news); Emperor Haile Selassie opens OAU defence talks in Addis (Dateline Africa). A cerebral, turbulent start to ’72 West Africa recalibrates.
