Prof Bolaji Akinyemi – an international colossus – foresaw early where and what Nigeria’s foreign policy should be. He proposed the African High Command, because he understood that without a united Africa, the West, Russia and China would trample all over it, taking the minerals and wealth of the richest continent away for next to nothing.
Prof wrote several books on the constitution of Nigeria, on how the constitutions were made and what prejudices seeped into the constitution. Other books followed which traced the history of Nigeria’s foreign policy and so on. But his behind-the-scene advocacy- speaking truth to power- to the military boys must be his greatest achievement. One day, I hope he will tell you.
Bolaji Akinyemi is not really my mate. I think he was one of those who did not read primary six, went to secondary school from primary five. His elder brother was my classmate: so I was envious of those who did not pass standard six. If he stood election, I would ask for his disqualification as not having the first school leaving certificate. He also did the Ph.D, just like Stanley Macebuh, in two years.
I am not one of those who would defend the profligacy of the Governors of the South/South who have a debt of explanation to make for the poor, irrelevant and irreverent use of resources. To whom more is given, more is expected. Nor is the query answered by saying all the Governors have little respect for money allocated to them and are equally financially reckless.
