2019 POLLS: How the academia failed Nigerians – Lamle
I am a lecturer with the Centre for Conflict and Peace Management Studies, University of Jos. I am also interested in activism; the reason is because when I was in Europe I passed through a lot of discrimination because I schooled under racists. I was in Brussels, Belgium and got so discriminated against that the person who was my supervisor at some point wanted me to be deported while I was about to do my defence. That made me to begin to feel and think: why should I have to stay in Europe? Why can’t I come back home and repair my own home so that my people will not have to pass through what I went through? I came home full of enthusiasm but along the line so many things happened that placed me on a very great disadvantage.
