We Can’t Take Power By Noise

In this direct and challenging work, Dr. Glory Ukwenga confronts a generation raised on hashtags, outrage, and viral moments with an uncomfortable truth: visibility is not the same as power. Drawing on her experience building the Nigeria Actizens Parliament and mentoring young leaders across Africa, she argues that lasting political and social change is built through strategy, competence, coalition-building, and disciplined institutional engagement, not noise alone. The book is a wake-up call for Africa’s youth movements: trading performative activism for the harder, quieter work of actually earning and holding power.
