ABUJA – THE Executive Secretary
of Anti-Corruption Network and
former member of House of
Representatives, Otunba Dino
Melaye has taken the fight
against corruption in the country
to the international communities
alleging that the present
government in the country was
tackling corruption with kids
glove.
Dino Melaye
Dino Melaye
Already Melaye has embarked on
international mobilization protest
against the alleged lukewarm
attitude of the Federal
Government in the fight against
corruption as he has gone out of
the country seeking the support
of Nigerians in the Diaspora to
participate in the protest by his
Anti-Corruption Network on the
streets of London in United
Kingdom and New York in the
United States.
The erstwhile member of House
of Representatives in a statement
he issues from New York
Tuesday made available to
newsmen in Abuja expressed
worry that some Ministers who
had been indicted by six
different reports but still serving
in the present government have
no business being in the cabinet
and should be sacked.
He said, “Corruption in Nigeria is
endemic, systemic and becoming
contagious. If we want to rescue
our country, we should stand up
without fear or Favour, the fear
of consequences and fight
corruption headlong because we
don’t have any other country we
call our own apart from Nigeria.
We must do everything to rescue
this country from the hands of
these economic cankerworms
and financial scavengers.
“So in essence, I was in London
last week and now in New York.
What we are doing is global
networking to host an anti-
corruption protest here in New
York. We have served the
government of America a letter
to get their permission to
organize a massive protest that
will internationalize the
corruption in Nigeria and also
help in fighting corruption.

alexchiny: You go chop slap soon.

Fhemmmy: That is not really true, Sir . . . Now we have so many people that work in Lagos that reside in Ibadan unlike before when they are able to afford to reside within Lagos, there was never Mowe and the rest of those new settlement around that axis, so you cant compare the traffic of then to the traffic of Now.

My brother and his wife once
slept on Lagos-Ibadan
expressway as a result of
Redeemed Camp Holy Ghost
Night programme after a trip to
Abeokuta. Few years back when
members of NAFSAT did a night
programme, commuters paid a
heavy price on that road so much
that NAFSAT took pages on
national newspapers to
apologize to Nigerians. Millions of
Nigerians have tales of woes to
tell in the last 20 years on Lagos-
Ibadan expressway.

Millions of Nigerians
have suffered untold
hardships and pains
since the early 90s when
Churches started relocating to
Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The
late General AbduKareem Adisa
once drove to the Redeemed
Camp to complain that the
Church must find a way to
address this man-made problem
but all to no avail. More than 20
years after the visit, Churches,
companies, schools, universities
etc have been relocating to
Lagos-Ibadan expressway in
droves. This is a road that was
built in 1974 and it has remained
same for 40years. A road
suffering untold pressure from
heavy traffic that it has become
crate ridden and a death trap, yet
pentecoastal chruches struggle
to add to the pressure of the
road by relocating to the road.
What is the motive for this
predilection to be sited on the
Expressway?

Fhemmmy: With or without those churches, that is a heavily used road that leads to other states out of Lagos, the road ought to be widened and make sure it is not a death trap . . .

Fhemmmy: Heavily taxed cos their members are driving on the roads?

alexchiny: Both, i guess but don't try this at home!

On his arrival, he panicked when
he saw guns drawn and pointing
at the lion and pleaded in a voice
filled with emotion that he be
allowed to lead it back to its
cage. He got a water hose and
increased the pressure of the
water, aiming it at the lion and
the beast quietly returned to its
cage. Of course, Dan Zaria was
hailed and applauded for his
bravery and mastery.

eGuerrilla: @Tolexander,

Thanks for your indulgence.

To buttress my point, you would note that PhysicsQED actually set out his stall earlier, when he made the following remark:



If you go through the archives of NL, I think you would find that the kind of "loathing" you mentioned typifies another contributor who has already visited this thread. I am referring to one who finds it hard to "intersect ideas with actions and actions with ideas on the basis of what is pejorative and ineffective and what is creative and transformative at the political and economic levels", as prescribed by Asante.

My reason for joining this discussion was to find out what the general understanding of Afrocentricity is.
It has been quite revealing up to this point, and I hope the flow continues.

tolexander: Those are the women that value the [color=crimson]joystickal endowment of Nigerian guys[/color]. And our ladies will be here doing yanga to us.

Well, the bible has finished it by saying [color=crimson]

No charges have been filed
because of the unusual nature
of the case, Heinemann said.
He said he believes drug use or
mental illness may have
contributed to Carter's
behavior, but that has not
been confirmed.
Carter had been arrested in the
past for aggravated assault
and resisting arrest

eGuerrilla: The promotion of one's culture can be considered an expression of cultural nationalism actually.
If this is all you consider Afrocentricity to be, you are wrong.

PhysicsQED,undoubtedly, ranks among the leading scholars/historians on these boards. But then if you think this quality is sufficient to mark him out as an Afrocentrist, where do you place the likes of Odumchi and Kats?

Any definition of Afrocentricity which does not reference the works of Molefi Asante is erroneous, in my opinion.
