Mario Fenyo
two questions and a comment.
Recently someone on this listserve noted that no African scientist has ever been awarded the Nobel prize. Someone went so far as to comment that literature was not a valuable human endeavor, hence the Nobel prize in literature does not really count.. ..
Now I need your advice,,since I presume you have an awareness of the Swedish Weltanshauung.
We would like to submit the name of Dr. George Acquaah for a Nobel prize in biochemistry. He has published at least eight books/monographs in that field and has received international accolades. We just don't know how to go about the process of nomination, if such a process exists at all.. .. .
We would also like to submit the name of Abdul Karim Bangura. It is just that we don,t know in whiich of his many fields of expertise does he have the best chance, and which of these fields comes closest to one actually recognized by the Swedish Academy.
Peace, Mario.

dear abdul
could you share with us why you got all those doctorates, and where your career trajectory took you with them? it is really quite extraordinary to have obtained all those high power degrees, especially in fields as disparate as linguistics and poly sci and the sciences. where is the focus of your work, and the high points in your mind? i've love to hear some of your bio, if you'd like to share it with us
best
ken

Could you do us the honour of summing up the method/s you use in grooming these students?
Being a good scholar is one thing, being a good educator is another. Combining both is awesome.

It so happens that sometimes you pick up a newspaper and are reading the latest news until you come upon an item that causes you to check the date of the newspaper and then confirm that you're only reading old news from 2012 as is the case right now, with Sheikh Abdul.
We (all of us) are now in this year, it’s the 12th Amistad Award and it's a very fitting award, without a doubt, to the first without equals in that special sphere, shall we say hemisphere or Shakespeare? It raises the aura and the tropical temperature of the Amistad concept. His latest release: The Road to Jamaica
In Nigeria, around the time of ”The Graveyard Also Has Teeth”, (not the Biafra War time and not the provocations and havoc of the Later Days Boko Haram) everybody asked me, do you know him and one had to approach the question both ways: To this day, have I met him personally ? No, or better yet, I don't know – in London, at some of the ceremonies of the august folks they sometimes refer to as the Anglo-Sierra Leoneans, you never know who – exactly who you are shaking hands with and smiling. On the other level – a more intimate level, exile, yes I know him , am familiar with some of his innermost thoughts - his poetry, yes some of the interviews with him, The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar and some of his articles....indeed yes, I know him...and some are on their way, always on the way, like the long distance Kenyans, on the road ...

Emeagwali, Gloria (History)
The Amistad Committee decided that since the AMISTAD heroes all came from Sierra Leone there should be a strong input
from Sierra Leone. So far four of the twelve recipients have come from the area.
