Samuel Zalanaga is also remarkable for the scholarly quality and even minded tenor of his posts, regardless of the opinions he expresses in those posts.

Even though I  dont share his views on particular issues, I always admire his style.

Thanks

Dear all:

Do please join me in expressing gratitude to Dr. Samuel Zalanga for his postings on democracy, citizenship, and accountability, and to those who responded to him to keep bringing out the best in him. These are postings that will definitely make it to the classrooms all over the world.

Like Mbaku, he is motivated by a sense of collective responsibility to our larger humanity, irrespective of our religion and location. Hopefully, the standard that he has established will be retained, and the misguided warriors of parochialism among us will learn from him.

If we lack the capacity to pull up the poor and the weak, let us not exercise the capacity to push them down.

Travel safe.
