--A huge and hearty congratulations to Professor Molefi Kete Asante- the defiant voice and leader of Afrocentricity.I think the beautiful thing about this award is that it is coming at the same time when Olufemi Taiwo has birthed another strange masquerade through a publication called- Against Decolonisation. What is majorly available to the public now is a review of the book but it gives some very possible valid account of the book- that it is against intellectual decolonisation!The Igbos say "ebe onye bi ka ona awachi"-people defend where they call home. Perhaps Africa has merely become a house, not a home for some Africans for no justifiable reason!In a typical festive period -when masquerades perform at the village square in some parts of Igbo area -you get a beautiful masquerade performing and an ugly masquerade with sticks pushing spectators as well.Taiwo has just been shortlisted for nomination -as one of the 50 top leading thinkers by the Uk based Prospect Magazine for his work-Against Decolonisation!But the question that waits Taiwo and those who applaud the work is- who he is leading; and to where?Lawrence Ogbo Ugwuanyi,Ph.D
