Glory to God for this blog. The decolonized thoughts of the convener Prof TF(Splash FM Guest Lecturer 2017) .I also applaud the vehement concern of the group ,mostly academics in the diaspora for a better more dignified Africa whose intelligentsia will be aware of the hugely untapped heritage.Sure they are still relevant to our holistic development. With modesty I don t think the sky wont be the limit if our collective anthropological asset are inter-professionally researched and developed to serve humanity where today s tech & values haven't fulfilled all possibilities and endowment on humankind..Despite our Standard Human Form as Homo sapiens do you know that modern man has nt yet mastered his mind even though he s conquered the atom? The African intellectual can thread virgin paths for the good of humanity an planetary health.Our mind are still full of malign flux which could block our endogenous thoughts and actions.We are not yet free to neglect the task of initiating and consolidating our democracies beyond electoral victory.The PanAfrican Movement is already a useful tool.We still have a lot of benign creativity & productions to contribute to the rapidly advancing world that needs sanity & spiritually productive decorum as Our Maker would have wanted us to fulfill our purposes.congruous to revering Mother Nature.See what happened in Thailand s cave that trapped 12 young soccer players and their 38 yr old coach since a fortnight from now!.Blessedly they ve been found alive yet rescue actions involving 140 divers still continued with active brainstorming by professionals and companies whose services are relevant till this early Sunday hours 3 am ! Thai, British American experts have been there to help out.To mitigate the likely tragic sequel and expedite rescue actions from anywhere in the world, The Thai Monarch and Prime Minster have publicized the predicament..I do know with modesty that an African can do something relevant to preventing the monsoon rains to a malleable extent EVEN IF such African failed to perform no heaven will fall on him because the role such a typically qualified African will play he may not have to enter the cave at all! The Facebook Giant ,MZ,recounted @ his Harvard Speech the secret of his success at last after several other things he tried and invited his friends to develop.This is freedom- to- fail-which is lacking in our milieu.Imagine how many billions of Naira Nigeria in particular have spent or borrowed from global financial market to tackle insurgency/Boko Haram and for almost a decade running we are still in their captivity. With this dynamic intellectual activism i have noted in my few weeks of reading your members posts you could help initiate a formidable revolutionary actions that will catalyse good governance with wisdom for the ,without violence to be prioritized & adopted as the real pivot upon which dividends of so called nascent yet ageing democracies can thrive in each of the democracies in Africa.I hope you all and the likes of your colleagues at home and in diaspora can popularize our history beyond certification or credentialing for our own dignity even if not for reparation - which is nt impossible to actualize as Chief MKO Abiola the winner of June 12 Hope 1993 Presidential election had inclusively envisioned and campaigned.a portion of the dignity ascribable to our colonial history could ve been reclaimed earlier had it been this unforgettable results had not been embalmed till President Muhammad Buhari announced it 25 years later.Long Live Best Wishes as the 11th Splash FM Guest Lecture & Chief Adebayo Akande s BIRTHDAY are celebrated with another topic of dynamic relevance.gbemi tijani mst,phf, 7.8.18On Sat, Jul 7, 2018 at 6:39 PM, 'Patrick Effiboley' via USA Africa Dialogue Series <usaafricadialogue@googlegroups.com > wrote:Congratulations, SirDr Emery Patrick EFFIBOLEYAssistant Professor,Department of History and Archaeology, University of Abomey-CalaviAndrew W.
