Some of you will remember Prof. Ben Turok. He was a prominent anti-apartheid campaigner, who also edited the famous bulletin of the African National Congress (ANC), SECHABA. He is a Director at the Institute For African Alternative (IFAA), and also now a prominent Parliamentarian in the South Afriacn Parliament representing Western Cape. This is what he said of late Prof. Bade Onimode in an e-mail... he sent to the Late Prof. Bade Onimode Memorial Colloquium Committee few minutes ago. He said Prof. Bade Onimode ''was a giant of Africa and deserves permanent recognition''. He will deliver a goodwill message at the colloquium, which will hold this Saturday, 10th December 2011 at the Omonogun Hall, G.R.A, Lokoja, Kogi State, NIGERIA. You have many more reasons to be at this event. Prof. Ben Turok, like late Prof. Onimode, authored several books on the African crisis, including debt crisis, Alternative to the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) etc. He is one of the few credible scholars of African ascent.
WE MUST GIVE OUR OWN PROF. ONIMODE, THIS GIANT OF AFRICA, A WELL DESERVED PERMANENT RECOGNITION.
