Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Association of Nigerian Scholars in the Diaspora: a clarification

Toyin,
The issue at stake to me is not the rightness or wrongness of the existence of the association and/or its legality or illegality. The issue is about tolerance of divergent tendencies.

The current Falola intervention which you are now celebrating has holes in it!

Those, who think that some or most members of this group are members of the said association (so what if they are), should be asked to do some research which would avail them of the opinions of most of the members of this group on the Buhari administration.

Associations can have two members on formation and subsequently expand from there, they do not have to contact/notify every or almost every scholar in diaspora before commencing activities. These activities are also recruitment strategies.

Those wanting to sue should make sure that they have franchise on the name, if their locus is simply that they are scholars in diaspora, their action would not make enough sense to warrant a judicial pronouncement in their favour.

Finally, as you know, I also oppose most of the policies of the Buhari administration, but I do not and would not blame every pregnancy miscarriage in Nigeria on the administration.

Thank you.

CAO.
