The material is a Hausa Ajami transliteration of former Libyan leader Moammar Ghadafi's The Green Book. The title in Hausa is Koren Littaafi. Ghadafi's goals for writing The Green Book were to express his political and social philosophy, which rejects capitalism and modern liberal democracy based on electing representatives. The book's prose, with its simple quotations, appears to be inspired from Mao Zedong's The Little Red Book. For wider audience and readership, Ghadafi sponsored lectures and seminars purposed to propagate the book's ideas at various universities and colleges in France, Eastern Europe, Colombia, and Venezuela up until 1993. The book was also translated into several languages and scripts, including Hausa and Hausa Ajami. Although the date, town, and publisher of the Hausa Ajami version of this book were not indicated, an interview with the owner of this manuscript, Alhaji Idris Isah, (age 81 years old), a grassroots politician, suggested that it was published in the late 1980s. He also noted that he has owned his copy since the early 1990s, since one of Ghadafi's visits to Nigeria. The collection contains three chapters and 187 pages in total.
