projects for poverty reduction, to emphasize on curbing multinational financial illicit and drug smugglers in Tanzania. Baker, et al. (2014) indicates Tanzania is one of the leading African countries in the illicit flows through trade misinvoicing. This again is a call for the meaningful action to address the problem as part of curbing poverty. Nyerere bitterly, warned and criticized the reliance on foreign aid the noting “…it is stupid for us to imagine [we can free ourselves from] poverty through foreign financial assistance resources.” His argument realistically, grounded on the fact that the independence denotes safe-reliance (Nyerere, 1967, p. 239). Perhaps, Nyerere knew the implication of aid early after liberation insisting free education as one of the drivers for social and economic development. With the same ideas, Liam Kane made an argument that “society is a fundamentally unjust and education should have an open, political commitment to work with the victims of social, political, and economic injustice in their struggle to bring about progressive social change” (Kane, 2006. p. 201). Basically, I am arguing that, Nyerere as a prominent philosopher, knew how social injustice eroded the marginalized, and that was one of the reasons behind in education for self-reliance (ESR) of 1967 in Arusha Declaration. The Arusha Declaration was dedicated to Ujamaa, education, and rural development self-reliance. A holistic approach to Ujamaa, the Arusha Declaration stood as…

As Augustus finalized Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire, his public image through military success, information on his private life, and various forms of propaganda—and the subsequent support from the people—was the basis of his power. A leader’s performance while commanding an army was an essential part in winning loyalty…
