John Mearsheimer on Donald J. Trump Sr threatening Violation of Nigeria’s ‘binal Sovereignties’©
Commenting

Since when has the United States
of America (US(A)) cared about Reputation?
My
Difficulty with John Joseph Mearsheimer is his Reluctance to admit
that the only Caution to the United States of America (US(A)) “Use of Force” to
achieve its Objectives is ‘Counter Balance Use of Force’©. At times, the USA assumed
it was going after ‘targets of Convenience’ (Williams, 1989) until it
encountered this Counter-Balance, much to its Humiliation; on the Korean Peninsula,
in Vietnam, and with the ‘Bay of Pigs Invasion’, and its further Attempt in the
Cuban Missile Crisis. So much for Mearsheimer’s “Hegemon.” I do not know what history
educates John Mearsheimer’s global Politics theorizing. Of course, the US got
away with Grenada, and Panama, but those Countries were weaker than Williams’ ‘targets
of convenience’. Any other War, Professor Mearsheimer cares to tell us the USA
has ever won by itself in modern time? NB: “Modern times” is the popular Usage, and I
would, myself, have deployed it in the Past, but it is invalid. There is no
English Language Rule authenticating it. Do we have any modern Era other than
the Present? If you can use “modern times” with such ‘confident Illiteracy’©,
why would you not also use ‘modern Eras’? “Modern times” probably erred from
not understanding its Difference to ‘modern time’s’ just like ‘Men’s’ has today
become “Mens,” and ‘your’s’ became irreversibly “yours.” The uneducated or
perhaps the “quasi-educated” do not know the Difference because they hear these
Words pronounced similarly.
Is
the USA not besieging Venezuela at the Moment, from September 2025 to today in December
2025, committing Terrorism on the “High Seas” around the Country, and murdering
its Citizens in the ‘extra-judicial Fancy’© of ‘Felon-President’© Donald J.
Trump Sr of the morally-bankrupt USA answerable only to ‘counteracting Inhuman Conduct’©
now deciding who is or not an “illegitimate” Executive Head of State of a
Sovereign Country? Tell me, Egbon John, where is the USA Concern for Reputation
at? Venezuela; another ‘targets of convenience’ or “Counter Balance
Force?” Well, we will see. By the Way, how is it cognitively legitimate to have
a Donald J. Trump Sr as President of the United States of America (‘POTUSA’©)?
POTUSA not “POTUS.”
Always the “Paper Tiger”
The
Lessons learnt from the Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba Experiences instructed
the US Military Coalition against Iraq from 1990 to 1991 that Iraq itself made
work, unwittingly. There was, of course, the political Coalition.
The US was frightened stiff of militarily taking on Iraq by itself hence the ‘Multiforce
Collective’©.
dan Iyan (https://share.google/tMQ7uxTlJ8ASAqcuM, University of Aberdeen, 2002) noted that at the time of the US Coalition building from 1990 to the Offensive on Iraq in 1991, the US Department of Defense (DoD) reported the following about the Iraqi Military Strength:
The Iraqi army had evolved from a
four-corps defensive force to an eight-corps force capable of conducting
multi-corps offensive thrusts ... It had modified its defensive strategy to
include an offensive combined arms strategy, supported by massive artillery
fire (including chemical weapons) and airpower (both army and air force) ...
Iraq had also developed a sophisticated system of both air and ground defenses
that threatened to make a frontal assault costly. Many believed the Iraqi army
to be among the best in the world at defensive warfare. The air defense system
was modern and redundant. [US Department of Defense, Conduct of the Persian
Gulf Conflict: An Interim Report to Congress, Washington: US Department of
Defense].
Years later in 1998, US Secretary of
State, Madeleine Albright would, admit even more forthrightly the lack of US
mid-intensity capability to take on Iraq in 1991 or at any other time since
then. She said “We do not have the forces” [BBC News 24, 11 February 1998, 5
a.m. GMT]. Flight Lieutenant John Nichol, the British pilot shot down by the
Iraqis during Operation Desert Storm said that had the Coalition invaded Iraq
in 1991, there would have been “tens of thousands of body bags coming home” [BBC
News 24, 11 February 1998, 8 a.m. GMT].
Despite the Coalition’s hollow Victory, Saddam Hussein’s ‘ascending Military Relevance’© was still much frightening for and to “Macho Americana.” The US ‘hegemonic Incapability’© insofar as Iraq was concerned, especially as Iraq in the Middle East (ME) posed ‘substantial credible Threat’© to US Protégé in the ME, Israel, galvanised the US into entreating the other Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and their ‘Support Client(s)’© in the UNSC to engage the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in emasculating Iraqi fighting Capabilities preparatory to the 2003 Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. dan Iyan (2002) stated:
France, the UK, and the US as members
of the Western Triumvirate in the UNSC had always voted in consensus as a
general principle. China and the USSR collaborated with the West on UNSC
Resolutions against Iraq because of the gains they could extract from the US in
the case of China, and from the US and the Resolutions themselves in the case
of the USSR.
In
other Words, France, the UK, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR)
were already uncomfortable with Hussein’s pronounced Intentions. China was just
interested in the ‘transactional Gains’© with the US. In ‘historical Reality’©,
the US has only been a strong Military when (a) fighting
very minor Powers or (b) protected in
a Coalition or (c) ensconced in a Coalition fighting
an Enemy with the Enemy’s Stomach on the Ground, Hands tied back, and Legs spreadeagled
or at its worst, terrorising Civilian Populations with atomic Bombs, as in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and carpet-bombing Civilian Populations with Napalm, as
in Vietnam and Cambodia. You deceive yourselves you can pull the wool over our
eyes about US Terrorism? Well done. The US has always been incorrigible
at Terrorism; the Native-Americans, and African Slaves on the Plantations, for
earliest examples.
If the US views Nigeria as a
‘target of convenience’, it would have swooped in
If
the US had perceived Nigeria as ‘Military Weakling(s)’©, ergo, a ‘targets
of convenience’, the US Military would have invalidated Nigeria’s
‘binal Sovereignties’© to attack Donald J. Trump Sr’s “Islamic Terrorists”
Strongholds in that Country, damning Rebukes from any Part of the World. Trump
would not even warn Nigeria before pouncing, as he did not
apprise Iran when he struck Iran’s Nuclear Facilities at Fordo, Isfahan, and
Natanz. Donald J. Trump Sr afterwards got taught the Lesson of his Miscalculation
with Iran. Despite Iran giving the US ‘pre-alert of Retaliation’© with more
than ample time for the US to prepare its Defence, Iran still hit
the US “prized Jewel” in the Middle East, the US Military Base at al Udeid in
Qatar – http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2025/07/iran-retaliated-confidently-against-us.html.
Whether
Nigeria is not a ‘Piece of Cake vanquishable Military’© by own
Strength in view of its Military Ratings here – https://share.google/W0Xk0WeE8r3cWmEn2,
Chinese Interest in Nigeria cautioned Donald J. Trump Sr. In this Respect I
would agree with Professor John Joseph Mearsheimer with his Use of “Bombast” to
describe US Behaviors, but I would employ the Expression, “Braggadocio” myself.
However, Mearsheimer ‘untenably overrate(s)’© US global Military, and political
Powers.
Mearsheimer’s Take on Nigeria’s
Response to Donald J Trump Sr’s Threat
to violate Nigeria’s Sovereignties
John Mearsheimer mentioned the Chinese Angle I touched on in my foregoing Section in his Broadcast here https://youtu.be/X2-uP_MaBV8?si=ScWgNHSDrGc5Ib1d I got clued into from Abimbola Daniyan’s Facebook Share https://www.facebook.com/share/1AC2qZdxEE/. Mearsheimer’s Take is not new. It is the ‘Scheme of Relations’© I identified some 23 Years ago in dan Iyan (https://share.google/tMQ7uxTlJ8ASAqcuM, 2002). Mearsheimer simply put them in own Words. If John Mearsheimer’s Interpretation of the Nigerian Response to Donald J. Trump Sr on “Islamic Terrorists” in Nigeria is correct – I have not paid detailed Attention to this Response – it is possible that the Response took Guidance from my Work afore-mentioned, as it is in the Public Domain. The Work was incisive, as well as advisory. In that Work, I wrote as follows:
The phenomena espousing more of a
multipolar world than a sole superpower US include ... the role of economic
factors in shaping the new order ... The New World Order manifests itself in a
structural readjustment of global economic, military and political relations.
Order here, therefore, approximates to the scheme of relations rather than to
the hierarchy of relations.
Also in that Work, I questioned Mearsheimer’s Refusal to acknowledge the multipolar World already existing:
The nuclear proliferation, limited as
it is, would tend to stabilise relations among antagonistic states such as it
did for the US and USSR during the Cold War. The proliferation of sophisticated
conventional armaments such as long-range missiles would also stabilise
relations between the US and an unfriendly state where those missiles could
reach either territory and inflict substantial damage on populations.
Mearsheimer [J.J. Mearsheimer, “Back to
the Future ...”, International Security, Vol.15, No.1 (1991], however,
contradicted the argument that a multipolar world would be as safe as a bipolar
world but his argument was premised on the proposition that if a multipolar
world exhibited strong as well as weak states, the strong would prey on the
weak. But Mearsheimer missed the point. The power status of
belligerent parties is equalised if they all have weapons or any other military
capability that could be deployed in one another’s territory and which would
wreak havoc on life, and property. The US relationship with Cuba is
illustrative. As much as the US detests Cuba, it has been restrained from
launching further attacks against the country after the Bay of Pigs fiasco in
1961 by the fact of Cuba’s capability to inflict substantial damage on US
forces and the possibility of Cuban assault on US territories such as Miami.
You
will note from the Mearsheimer Broadcast – in which he suggested he is a
“Realist” Theorist – that he believes Multipolarity is newly emerging whereas
as a Neo-Realist, I know it has been around for scores of years. I
am not the only Theorist in global Politics with this Awareness. It
is not clear how Mearsheimer identifies the Characteristics
of Multipolarity and why he has applauded Nigeria’s Response to
Donald J. Trump Sr as representative such that the Response “sent shockwaves.” Face-saving
for him, he qualified his Applause for Nigeria with
“Nigeria is one of the first.” Nevertheless, Nigeria is trailing
behind the other Sahel States of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
They “sent [the] shockwaves.” They set the Pace, and the Tenor. They are the
real Champions. Nigeria has simply copied them in an adapted Manner if John
Mearsheimer’s Reading of the Nigerian Response is correct.
By
the way, Professor Mearsheimer, Nigeria is not a “Nation.” You
should revisit your Understanding of ‘Nation’. You have not used it in any
Context other than its ‘commonplace Interchange’© with ‘Country’. A ‘Nation’ has
certain ‘immutable Feature(s)’©, and they are (i) common cultural History, and (ii) shared Genealogy. The
‘Nation’ is ‘Group Identity
founded on common cultural History, and shared Genealogy’©. I have written a lot about what a
‘Nation’ is. Mearsheimer, and company might find useful one of such in http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2022/06/shifting-culpability-simpletons-guide.html.
In arguing “the phenomena espousing more of a multipolar world than a sole superpower US,” circa 23 years ago, I included, inter alia:
[I] [a] the advent of
some states with military nuclear power and/or long range missile capability,
and [b] the increasing sophistication of conventional weaponry, and their
proliferation; [II] the paradoxical prominence of the UNSC [United
Nations Security Council] in world affairs; and [III] the
increasing presence of the EU [European Union] in matters which might threaten
global peace and security.
I further wrote that:
[t]he current attention on
multipolarity is anomalous. Multipolarity was recognised as extant by US
politicians in the late 1970s. Then, a report provided for the House of
Representatives Committee on International Relations acknowledged a ‘political
[and economically] multipolar world’ [The Soviet Union and the Third World: A
Watershed in Great Power Policy? Report Submitted to House of Representatives
Committee on International Relations, May 1977]. Even then, military
multipolarity was observable. States like Britain, China and France were
credible military powers albeit not in the same league as the US and USSR.
The Problem with John Joseph Mearsheimer
applauding Nigeria
Why did
the West African Sahel States of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger not
feature in John Mearsheimer’s Applause for Nigeria in the Country’s Leaders’
Response to Donald J. Trump Sr’s hot Air regarding “Islamist Terrorists” in that
Country or did he mention those three States? I apologize if he did, and I had
not caught it. As he was rehashing common Knowledge in the Context of what I introduced to the Study of
World Politics since 2002, I stopped watching the
Broadcast in the early Minutes. I have since heard another ‘Usian’©, so-called
American, (yep, Mearsheimer is Usian), regurged the same old Narrative. If Mearsheimer did not
introduce Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which were the earliest African States
to show Africans and other World Populations that African Governments can stand
Toe-Toe with ‘White Supremacy Government(s)’© (WSGs)
https://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2025/11/africans-and-their-primordial-own.html,
would it be because he knew he was only romanticising Nigeria?
Otherwise,
why would Professor Mearsheimer do that? Why would he ignore or disregard or
wish away the three Sahel States of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger; which showed
other Africans, and the World how Africans could tell WSGs, and WSG
‘Transactional Gains Agent(s)’© to “take a hike?” By the way, Nigeria also is a
“Sahel State.” Yep, you are reading me right. Nigeria is in the Sahel. The
Reason Mearsheimer would want to wish away the earlier awakenings by Burkina
Faso, Mali, and Niger to a ‘Resurged Modern African Consciousness’© is that
Nigeria is “hook, line and sinker” into this ‘USA Propagandum of Electoral Politics
as Democracy’© (‘Propagandum of Electoral Politics as Democracy’©, per se).
As we all know, those three other Sahel States are governed by Military
Governments, and that means ‘Governance by Uniform Command’©. Military Governments,
if managed properly, discountenance Wastage in any form such as Clientelism
that is the Essence of Electoral Politics, the so-called Democracy. Those
familiar with my Thinking are well aware that ‘Military Governance’©
is my Preference, certainly for Africa. See http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2024/11/if-military-are-genuinely-loyal-to-flag.html,
for instance. Even when Military Government has been known to be wayward, it
still managed to (i) cut Waste, (ii) punish blatant
Abuses of Office, and (iii) censure ‘brazen Theft of Public Funds’©
in the ‘perverse Remuneration(s)© Career-Politicians award themselves, legitimized
by own Votes in the Legislatures; the perfect ‘legalized brazen Theft of Public
Funds’©
In his Broadcast glorifying the Nigerian Government’s Response to the Donald Trump Sr Threat of violating its ‘binal Sovereignties’, John Mearsheimer had nothing to say about this ‘legalized brazen Theft of Public Funds’; this Reality of the Nigerian “Public Wealth” not filtering to ‘the People’ not to talk of cascading to them. Does he not remember there is Difference between the ‘State’, and Government? Let me remind him of the Distinction I made in 2002, in my afore-mentioned Dissertation published by the University of Aberdeen:
The state is a geographical
socio-political entity. In other words the state has a population of human
beings with political rights and cultural practices confined within
geographical boundaries. The state broken down into components describes i) a
geographical entity with boundaries, and ii) an identifiable population with
political rights and recognisable cultural practices; a population that owes
presumed allegiance to the geographical entity within which it is situated.
Government on the other hand is the administration of the state whether or not
this Government is welcomed by the whole population. Although Government
exercises oversight functions over the socio-political activities of the
population, it is only an aspect of the state and not its totality. ... Even
realist writers have made the similar error of assuming the Government for the
state. ... the ‘land’ and the people form the state. There is no separation
between the ‘land’ and the ‘people’ in the identification of the state. Without
either, there can be no state [Members of Government are among ‘the People’].
Nigeria
is a very wealthy Country in Resources, and Revenues. It should
never be poor, ever, but for the ‘congenital Corruption’© of the Persons
Nigerians allow to govern them. Ergo, Mearsheimer’s ‘Blame
Condemnation’© of Western-controlled global financial Institutions is just the
‘condescending Sophistry’© it is for, and to the ‘African Blame-denying
Unreason’©. Professor John Joseph Mearsheimer demonstrates no
Awareness of the ‘transactional Gains’© Nature of the Nigerian Government. In praising Nigeria’s
Responses to Donald J. Trump Sr, and to US ‘unreasonable Demands’,
Mearsheimer’s does not validate Acts for the “common good” of ‘the People’, but
the Reaction of an ‘Oligarchy in Government’© to sustain its Vice Grip on the
Country by calling in the Chips, as elucidated in my Theory of Power. Perhaps,
Professor Mearsheimer would care to read me here http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-us-presidency-is-four-years-term.html. Note:
I deployed the ‘present continuous’ “demonstrates,” and “does not” to emphasize
Professor Mearsheimer’s current Mindset, as I have come across another of his
Broadcasts about Nigeria since the one I am commenting on here. Again his early
Sentences turned me off.
Ipemndoh dan Iyan’ s Theory of
‘Power’
The Nigerian Attitude about its economic Sovereignty portrayed by John Mearsheimer in his Broadcast is what I had theorized 23 years ago in the mentioned Dissertation in my Formulation of a new Theory of Power in World Politics, and which I advised in http://ipemndohdaniyan.blogspot.com/2025/07/grandstanding-at-expense-of-self.html:
In
order to have a firm grasp of this thesis’s argument that cooperation reached
under the auspices of multilateral mechanisms are derived from the expectations
of bilateral transactions away from discussions within the multilateral
mechanism but originating from those discussions, the thesis submits a concept
of power as quid pro quo leverage. ... cooperation ... [from] conciliative
interests. By conciliative, this thesis means ... different interests but the
issue under deliberation enables these different interests to be satisfied
through a process of reconciliation whereby [Negotiators] give way to one
another in exchange for individual benefits. ... The conception of power as
quid pro quo leverage reflects the power flow during a negotiating transaction
where military power is not an applicable option for achieving objectives. This
quid pro quo leverage is consequent upon reciprocal gains acquired by the
actors in a transaction. ... Thus, the power distribution in a negotiating
relationship is manifested by how satisfied actors are with their gains,
notwithstanding what non-actors say about the weight of those gains ... Power distribution is, thus, interactive.
These reciprocal gains emanate from the actors bilateral relationship ...
See
now, why Mearsheimer’s ‘blame condemning’© of western created, and controlled
financial Systems vis-á-vis lesser Powers, especially African States, is simply
flimsy?
When is Mearsheimer going to be up
to date in and with his thinking?
If
you listened carefully to Professor J. J. Mearsheimer’s Broadcast on Nigeria,
he gave Indications that he recognizes the ‘Mutuality of Economy and Politics in
World Affairs’©, but he is still at heart a “Realist” Theorist of Global
Relations, the so-called International Relations. I sense my thinking,
as a Neo-Realist, in his Broadcast.
In my Work of 2002 already referenced more than few times, I staked out my Position:
This thesis adopts a neo-realist
position. It starts from the basis of distinguishing between the economic
sovereignty and the political sovereignty of the state. In making this
distinction, the thesis adopts two broad positions. First, in recognising the
political sovereignty of the state, this thesis continues with the realist
traditional argument of the primacy and sovereignty of states but rejects the
notion of hegemony and the balance of power rationale, and the concomitant
hierarchical order argument. Second, in separating the economic sovereignty of
the state from its political sovereignty, the thesis rebuts realism’s rejection
of the interdependence of states. Some might consider my position here as
neo-liberal rather than as neo-realist. I have used the description neo-realist
in the widest possible sense to mean a progression of the traditional
conceptions of the realist paradigm. What distinguishes my position from a
neo-liberal one as currently understood is that while I recognise the existence
of multilateral mechanisms, I do not see these mechanisms as particularly
efficacious or as irrevocably more useful than bilateral arrangements. This
thesis suggests that the cooperation reached under the auspices of multilateral
mechanisms are derived from the expectations of bilateral transactions away
from discussions within the multilateral mechanism but originating from those
discussions. What my position shares with neo-liberalism is a recognition of
the economic interdependence of states, and the rejection of hegemony among
states. This thesis recognises that the world is anarchical but the notion of
hegemony within this anarchical order suggests more than the traditional
realist argument of preponderan[t] military power and pre-eminent economic
wherewithal. The notion of hegemony argues leadership among states. The concept
of leadership, ipso facto, presumes orderliness, and an
acknowledgement of and deference to the leader - the hegemon - by other states.
This is certainly not the case insofar as each state insists on its political
sovereignty, which is both a legal attribute and a geographical socio-political
reality. But instead of the orderliness presumed by the concept of leadership,
and a condition of deference by other states to that leadership, what obtains
is what realism correctly identifies as an anarchical world order.
Somewhere else in the Work, I further wrote that:
Realism -
including neo-realism - as currently conceived is rather a confused way of
studying international politics. Firstly, realism takes no sustainable account
of the interdependence of states in the economic arena. ... Secondly, realism
pulls together a number of structural features for explaining the relations
between states yet these features are mutually-exclusive. It is as though
realism has a piecemeal understanding of international relations rather than a
comprehensive picture. The structural features are one) the ‘sovereignty’ of
each state within the collection of states – no differentiation is made between
economic sovereignty and political sovereignty – , two) the hegemony of a state
over other states, and three) the balance of power thesis.
At the time I submitted my Dissertation in 2002, Theories of “international relations” were quite inadequate in recognizing the Fundamentals of the ‘binal Sovereignties’ of ‘Territorial-States’©. Find below the Extents of the Limitations of those Theories, as I identified them in that Dissertation:
The
world community is examined through an array of competing theoretical
perspectives, grouped within paradigms. ... While each of the competing
paradigms is able adequately to explain an aspect of a phenomenon of
international relations none appears competent to fully explain such phenomena.
The limitations of these theoretical perspectives become apparent when they are
directed at examining the characteristics of international politics as majority
of the perspectives are better given to explaining other aspects of
international relations than international politics. Further, none of these
paradigms makes an explicit distinction between the economic sovereignty of the
state and the political sovereignty of the state in their discussions of the
‘sovereignty’ of the state.
Yet,
there is a fine difference between the economic sovereignty and political
sovereignty of the state. Firstly, the economic sovereignty of the state
presupposes questions on how much the economy of a state is free of
intervention from the economies of other states or from any other imposition by
other states. Secondly, on the other hand, political sovereignty presumes
questions on the political autonomy of states and the extent to which the state
can pursue its strategic interests, and indeed formulate its economic policies,
without interference from other states. Thirdly, this thesis argues that the
world economy is so intertwined involuntarily that the phrase ‘economic
interdependence’ is an apt description of such intertwining. ... I have used
the expression ‘intertwined involuntarily’ to acknowledge the intricate and
unavoidable economic interdependence between states. This intricate and
unavoidable economic interdependence is not reliant on whether or not states
have a codified agreement between them on what form their economic
relationships should take. The situation is different over the question of a
state’s political sovereignty. Each state has the automatic political autonomy
to decide on its fate: the way its people are to be governed, what its
strategic interest(s) ought to be, and even the economic policy to pursue
within the world interdependent economy.
Whatever
political interdependence exists between states is a voluntary one. Political
interdependence is not given. This is to say that states that are part of a
political or strategic interdependence have deliberately sought that kind of
relationship. The only threat, thus, to the political autonomy of a state is
the military aggression of a more powerful state.
... this thesis makes a distinction
between political sovereignty of the state and the economic sovereignty of the
state. The thesis considers that these two sovereignties co-habit in a state,
and that they each measure different aspects of a state’s autonomy to differentiated
extents.
Overall,
in commenting on Donald J. Trump Sr’s Pomposity
towards Nigeria, Mearsheimer has not said anything original than fleshing the
Logics – “explanatory Frameworks” – I presented 23 years ago. Why do you think the University of Aberdeen published
that Dissertation albeit denying me the PhD I deserved
or offering me a Job? I would have thought it is because of its ‘Comprehensiveness
in Originality’©. It would be nice for ‘tenured Academics’© or otherwise ‘Institution
Academic(s)’© to mention me when they rely on my Reasonings to make their
Observations. I am still alive, and I have Access to the Internet. Thus, it is
possible that I will come across things, accidentally or otherwise. A ba? I dey
acknowledge you Guys now if I relied on your thinking.
NB: I am not fazed by Mearsheimer being a
Professor or anyone with a superior Degree, i.e., MPhil-PhM/DPhil-PhD, who is also
a Professor. My Intellect is my Strength. Besides, I
also have a superior Degree, the MPhil-PhM, the viva voce for
which I passed the first time in addition to a tentative Offer of “Adjunct
Professor” – subject to my accepting it – in 2003, 22 years ago,
at a prestigious private Research University in Los
Angeles, USA. I was at the University, I sat with the departmental Director –
he was certainly a “Director, but was it departmental? So long ago – we talked
before he orally offered me the Position. He sent an Email to confirm the
Offer. If I had not kept changing my Internet Providers, I would easily now print
out the Email Offer, and publish it for y’all to see (or did I print it, but
cannot locate it?). I did not take the Offer because at the time, my Brain
was scrambled by my ‘Village Person’© (who is now seeking my
“Forgiveness” without confessing to those he is sending to me –
or even to me, myself – the many Harms he had perpetrated against
me). Now, do I care? He has been unable, so far, to
extinguish my Life. If you think an African (Moi) is just being
superstitious, please re-examine your Judaeo-Christian Faith, and also read
E.E., Evans-Pritchard (1976). Evans-Pritchard was not of ‘recent
African Origin’© (RAO) or ‘recent African Heritage’© (RAH). He was “white.”
