BOYCOTT SOUTH AFRICAN TV CHANNELS NOW!

Without the cheap supply of home-movies from NIGERIA, GHANA and other parts of Africa those fat South African pay and related TV channels will not survive.
Since their Afro-phobic, brainwashed and narrow-minded South African house Negroes are repaying our Pan-African anti-Apartheid solidarity (I for one remember how I contributed money and time to the anti-apartheid movement in my community) with mass barbaric butchery of our Black brothers and sisters, let us teach them a lesson.

I implore my comrades in the greater African film industries to follow the example of the historic Montgomery bus boycott by the U.S. Civil Rights Movement with a powerful message that will serve as a deterrent to would be annihilators of the Black Race and Ubuntu values. Remember that among those killed in South Africa were community patrons or viewers of your home-movies in one way or the other. Let us pay them homage.

The Guilds and Associations in the Nigerian and Ghanaian home-movie industries should kindly convene meetings of their respective members or executives to get the legitimate consensus or majority approval for call this call of a solidarity action of move boycott.

Let us teach them that the cheap delivery of home-movies to their channels does not mean our African lives are cheap.
No more talking and empty condemnation. Let us ACT NOW.

Join and pass on the message.

Yours in genuine passion for the Sacred African Solidarity,

Prince Bubacarr Aminata SANKANU

does it make sense to boycott the tv channels that feature nigerian films? cutting of the nose to spite the face?
we need a better target

[Assensoh, Akwasi B.]

 

Sorry for the length of the message below, as I really wanted it to be brief! "Sorry, oo!" as Baba Ijebu would say!

 

To re-echo other wise voices, congratulations and a word of advice are in order for our forum brother (Moses) on his elevation to Full Professor status in his Department at Vanderbilt University. In fact, a family friend of ours from New York University (NYU) is on her way to Vanderbilt as the new Dean of Arts and Sciences (which often happens to be a major position on several academic campuses), and it is hoped that Brother Moses (in his new exhorted status) will find her to be a great intellectual ally!

 

In my own leap of academic and intellectual fate, as I climbed the promotion ladders on Research 1 campuses, I still remember pieces of sagacious advice from two eminent scholars, one of whom is still a regular  and active member of this important forum: namely Professor John Mukum Mbaku and Mwalimu (Professor) Ali Al'Amin Mazrui of blessed memory!

 

Professor Mbaku (Brother John) gave an "advisory" talk (or lecture?) to our study group known as African Studies and Research Forum (ASRF) of the Association of Third World Studies; many of us were young Assistant and Associate Professors. At the time, he was a rising academic star and also one of the active area Editors of the association's peer-reviewed publication, Journal of Third World Studies. His "stern" and no-nonsense advice (at a Denver, Colorado annual conference meeting) was that those of us working toward our promotions should not wait until it was too late to do what it takes to be promoted from Assistant to Associate Professor and, also, from Associate to Full Professor. He also urged us, without mincing words, that it would be too late to knock on his door at the proverbial midnight hour to ask him to publish a particular article or review essay in the journal for an individual, who has a few weeks to come up for promotion! As my dear "old" and sagacious Baba Ijebu would say: "Listen to good advice and use it for yourself, even if you have nobody to offer you advice!" I did over the years, and it paid off handsomely!

 

Then came the order of things, including working hard for promotion to Full Professor. In fact, Professor Mazrui, one day, spent an entire evening at The Ohio State University (where I was a Postdoc and he was a Visiting Professor from Michigan) speaking with me about the need to see the Full Professor rank as something that was/is akin to an "Exclusive Club". He added, in jest, that it could be likened to the Augusta Masters, in golf tournaments: "Not everybody gets to wear the oversized green jacket...", he told me candidly. Mwalimu (also Nana in Ghana royalty title) further urged me to publish extensively as well as "everywhere" and, also, to take my teaching very seriously. In the end, he as well spoke sternly against "dead woods" in academia: individuals, who do nothing else after becoming Full Professors! Instead, Professor Mazrui added that I should work so hard after my promotion to Full Professor that my institution should find me "very relevant" in everything that happens on the campus, where I was teaching. I did and, in the end, my bosses at Indiana University smiled, and I also smiled when the time came in 2011 to be elevated to Professor Emeritus status!

 

Our own SIR Toyin Falola and several brothers and sisters from far and near (many of whom are on this wonderful forum) converged on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University to "toast" and "roast" me, as part of a major celebration. In the end, the attached announced 350-page hardcover book was co-edited by SIR Toyin (and Professor Emmanuel Mbah) to honor my elevation. In fact, one day, I expect  Full Professor (Brother) Moses Ochonu (and other younger brothers and sisters in academic rat race) to celebrate similarly, hence sharing my litany of experiences and advice! It is not a mere boast, please!

 

Again, congratulations, Professor Moses Ochonu of Vanderbilt University!

A.B. Assensoh.

[Moses Ebe Ochonu]

I am humbled by all the messages of congratulations. I am also grateful for the kind words, the wishes for further success, and the wise counsel of experienced elders in the profession. I am fortunate to belong to a forum that gives me a platform to interact with the finest assemblage of scholars and thinkers, colleagues and interlocutors from whom I am always learning and on whom I constantly bounce and test ideas. I stand on the massive shoulders of the men and women of this great forum. I am in great company. May God bless all our endeavors, and I look forward to celebrating other members' milestones. Thanks a ton to Farooq Kperogi, my brother from another mother, who brought the news to the forum, and to Professor Falola who makes this village square possible.

Moses:

I join others in sending my congratulations on your well deserved elevation: a call to to higher productivity.

One feels this ignites a wish to tag 2015 the year of mutual  bounty cornucopia of harvests sequel to a lengthy lull -watch this space

A washable event,; roll out the mortars-you know where I come from- when i come cruising by...

Congratulations once again!
