Association of Nigerian Scholars in the Diaspora: A Press Release

If this document/publication is true, and we have no reason to doubt its authenticity at this point, don't we then have to apologize to Farooq Kperogi, and applaud his relentless pursuit of this group's activities?

For me, the only interesting part of the "Communique" is the image of the napping General; or shall we say, a sleeping giant?

I shared this same press release in my first comment on the "group." I even talked about the scurillity and poor grammar of the language of the press release. Go and read my first comment on the "group" when I thought some people in Nigeria were using the names of the two people associated with it without their knowledge or consent.

Apparently, the "group" started this year, and what Oga Falola posted here was its first press release. The second press release attacked the US for calling attention to human rights abuses in Nigeria, and the third press release praised Buhari for reappointing the CBN governor and warning him against replacing his incompetent service chiefs.

Yet someone on this list, who isn't even a Nigerian but who is apparently friends with one or both of the two people associated with this "group," openly lied that he had been familiar with their existence and activities for years!

It's tough not to give up.
