This book chronicles Jooa and Tolu's struggle to carry forth Coco's dream of rebuilding Tokoan identity and autonomy amidst the lingering shadows of colonialism. It is an interrogation of internalised oppression and imagination of decolonized futures. Their journey forces painful confrontations with history and visions of radical healing. Ultimately, it is a quest to redefine on their own terms what it means to be Tokoan after generations of alien subjugation. The question "Who am I?" is one that goes to the heart of the Tokoan condition.Though Toko had finally thrown off the shackles of alien colonisation, Coco knew in his heart that true freedom was still elusive. As he approached the end of his life, he worried that the window for building an independent Tokoan future was closing. The youths Jooa and Tolu represented the generation who would determine their planet's destiny. On a hilltop overlooking the sprawling capital of Opeki, Coco poured out his concerns and they listened intently.Despite its vast natural riches and large youth population, Opeki remained mired in poverty. The brains and talents of its people were drained away to alien worlds instead of being invested locally. After the colonists were expelled, the Tokoan leaders failed to unite the diverse nations into a cohesive force. Fragmentation left them vulnerable to neocolonialism - the aliens no longer ruled directly but manipulated Toko economically and culturally. Coco warned that without unity and self-reliance, the Tokoans risked sliding back into servitude.The lure of joining the advanced interplanetary economy promoted by the aliens tempted many to leave, Coco acknowledged. But he saw the exodus of skilled workers and academics as betraying the dream of independence. With Opeki's oil, diamonds, gold and ecological capital, they possessed vast wealth. Yet this flowed to aliens and left ordinary Tokoans impoverished. Opeki exemplified the paradox of poverty amidst plenty inflicted by neocolonial forces.Alien corporations returned to commercially exploit Opeki's minerals and agricultural exports. Instead of nationalising their own resources, the post-independence leaders allowed alien interests to dominate the economy once again. Farmers worked land leased from alien owners while urban workers laboured for alien-run factories. Opeki was caught in an extractive system which enriched outsiders while keeping locals in deprivation.The education system was also designed to serve alien agendas by training Opeki youth as a low-cost source of intellectual capital for their companies and institutions. Alien languages and curriculums had squeezed out Tokoan knowledge. As a result, Opeki's brightest minds found they could only thrive by emigrating. This brain drain left a shortage of proficient professionals and leaders to develop the country. The cycle of poverty became entrenched.Coco described how in his youth Opeki was self-sufficient in food using traditional agricultural techniques and communal land stewardship. But those practices were disrupted by cash-crop plantations run by the colonisers. Dependence replaced sustainability. Now the aliens' genetically engineered imports had displaced native crops entirely, forcing Opeki to exchange their minerals and oil just to eat. An economy once structured to nourish the people had been transformed into one leeching their wealth

Who am I?: The Journey Towards Decolonisation The planet Toko was once home to a thriving civilization with a steady economy and system of local governance. But over a hundred years ago, everything changed with the arrival of an alien species. These extraterrestrial colonisers imposed their language, Kukua, onto the Tokoans, destroying their native language and culture in the process. Though most yielded to the pressure to assimilate, there were some who resisted. Coco, a 96-year old Tokoan from the country of Bocan, held firm in his refusal to let go of the mother tongue, Muuo. On the celebration of his 96th birthday, he gave an impassioned speech about the importance of reclaiming the Tokoan identity by reviving Muuo. His insights captured the imagination of two Tokoan teenagers seeking to understand their history.In this book, we will delve into what life was like before the aliens came, chronicle the devastating impacts of colonisation on language, culture and development, and explore what steps can be taken for the next generation to recover their sense of self. The colonial era engendered an identity crisis that poses the essential question "Who Am I?" This book will argue that by rediscovering their roots and restoring native institutions and language, Tokoans can begin to heal and thrive once more. Join us as we follow the journey towards decolonization.

Journey to PrometheaImagine a world divided. A world of vast disparities in rights, wealth, and opportunity. Where factors of birth and status dictate the course of one's entire life. Picture the injustice, the structural barriers that suppress human potential.The realm of Promethea was such a world - until bold voices dared imagine something better. This is the story of their struggle.It began small, in the heart of one marginalised boy. Olu, denied the chance to rise beyond his lowly station. But through a spark of education, his mind ignited.If knowledge was power, then why not enlighten all minds, empower all voices? From this simple question, a movement for justice grew.Olu and fellow seekers faced suspicion, then defiance, from those clinging to entrenched power. But the people's conscience had awakened. The light of change could not be extinguished.Generation by generation, progress marched on. With cascading waves of reform, Promethea gradually transformed itself. From classism to inclusion, exploitations to ethics, barriers to bounty shared by all.Utopia bloomed, an ideal but fragile flower. Early victory cultivated complacency, allowing injustice to creep insidiously back. But voices like Olu's persisted, reminding the people of hard lessons once learned.Promethea's light had to shine ever brighter, so its glow could uplift other worlds still lost in darkness. This was now their destiny and burden - to herald freedom's possibility, until inequality existed no more.
