NIGERIAN PROFESSORS
Nigerian Professors protest knowledge,
Non-Nigerian Professors profess knowledge.
Nigerian Professorships are for sale,
Non-Nigerian Professorships are earned.
Nigerian Professors are paid to play,
Non-Nigerian Professors run the play.
Payers of Nigerian Professors write the rules,
Non-Nigerian Professors write the rules.
Nigerian Professors of Banking
Run Medical Research Institutes and
Nigerian Professors of Medicine
Run Institutes of Passenger Touts.
Since Nigerian Professors profess nothing,
They are not real Professors but
Passenger touts willing to load
Any side of an argument, if the
rewards are tangible and transformative.
I remember the author Achebe, smashed ripped pumpkins on their faces for turning around to save under wrong foul-minded presidents, instead of professing truth to power.
They profess falsehood to power!
