This is not limited to Africa alone. I was forewarned in graduate school both in the US and UK by professors and lecturers to be on my guard and keep my novel ideas to myself and not include them in essays till after graduation.

All have raised useful points, especially Moses and Femi. I have come across a lot things that I did not experience in North American universities in terms of authorship. Now that my neck is out there, let me say that fraudulent authorship is common involving lecturers appropriating students' essays and what Moses aptly calls gerontocractic appropriation of younger scholars' work."

I know I am putting my neck out there for decapitation, but from my point of view we are only retailing ideas here and hopefully no one would brandish a machete! One feature of African scholars based in Africa is that collaborative scholarship among them is curiously intense. You find one Social Science, Liberal Arts, Humanities article/essay of about 15 to 20 pages authored by about five-plus scholars. I don't think this promotes healthy competitive environments for rigorous research.
