Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju,
Your output, so far, and the energy that you put into it, is impressive, I’d say prodigious!
May the Almighty be with you always !
I suppose that (just like “Nigerian Independence”) as an “independent scholar” you may be free/freed from the kinds of constraints, editorial advice, supervision and invariably inquisitions that PhD students have to submit to (thinking of the hassles faced by the likes of Cheikh Anta Diop at the disputation - in defence of his doctoral dissertation), not to mention the postmortems, the fierce & ferocious public academic debates faced by Martin Bernal after the publication of his Black Athena - resulting in the concerted critique of several other experts who gathered to gang up against him, led by one Amazonian called Mary Lefkowitz who finally produced the compendium of total rejection and refutation titled Not Out of Africa
In any case, just like Carlos Castaneda , if you were to embrace the story-telling format ( and not the highbrow Fortes etc, you too could soon be famous….and a commercial successs….
The only other Independent Scholar I know is N Browne-Davies - author of “ The Jews of Sierra Leone”

more power to your elbow Oluwatoyin !
At least you’ve got it all mapped out, as directed, your output vastly available at these WWW addresses, housed as “ photo albums, and the USA Africa Dialogue Series Google group as well as document archives, such as Scribd, with academia.edu being your principal document platform, along with blogs, websites (Rowland Abiodun; Chiaagoziem Orji) and YouTube accounts ( Adepoju, Compcros) plus these four projects 1. Exploring Cosmos: A Journey through the Akporode Universe of Bruce Onobrakpeya ( the most successful conversion so far) 2.Ekene Philosophy and Mysticism: From Ecospirituality to Ecocentred Cosmology. 3 Adinkra Cosmos: An Exploration of Being through Meditations on Adinkra Kuntunkantan. 4. Adapting to Africana Esotericism the Achievements of Harvey Spencer Lewis and his Rosicrucian Collaborators, plus your other four projects in the pipeline, and your intention “ to complete at least two conversions daily”
Indeed, “to complete at least two conversions daily” -
exactly what some of the Christian & Muslim missionaries are dreaming of achieving among the heathen, “to complete at least two conversions daily”, whilst some of the poor in spirit are still shuffering, shmiling and praying “ Give us this day our daily bread” which could be translated as “ at least two square meals a day . “
Once again, more power to your elbow Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju !
I wish I could say that about AI / Trump’s SI
You may call me a “Googler” if you like, a googler with no apologies about Kperogian grammar & spelling infelicities ( drink deep or taste not the pierian spring etc lest ye be inebriated with a severe bout of iberiberisms
As a somewhat lazy Googler, my problem is that I don’t want to start searching for you all over the place and I’d much prefer that my burden be lightened by your output being made available in one place
BTW, ama thinking of Biko Agozino’s The Word Bank, and with William Wordsworth’s
The Tables Turned , in mind, I have been reverting to the oral tradition: I’m currently going through all of the recorded output of Christopher Hitchens, thrilled by his oratory/ oratorical polemic vs the transcendental, much of that output assembled and made available at Youtube 👍
