Dr Afolayan, where in your discourse do we locate the citizens' desire for a good life, in philosophical and practical terms, or the citizens' Possible contributions to determining their future? I see your intellectual concern about the role of strong men, about strong institutions, about "democracy" and all the other fashionable concepts that have not meant much for the common people of Africa. Because thence lies my rejection of your connection of Mugabe and Ghadaffi, to return to my original response; surely I never proposed that we apply Ghadaffi's style or even Yew's or Kagame's styles as pure pathways towards progress.
