35.00mins: "I do not believe that ideas belong to any people... If it [an idea] is human", then any human can be part of the ownership of that idea if they are willing to work within the tradition. Excellent reflections. Table-turning. Insightful. Returning attention to the fundamental question of agency is crucial. We shouldn't turn a concept into an ontology!!! That's illuminating.
Prof Olufemi Taiwo's philosophy is pragmatic, apologetic but realistic. Africa does not have the opportunity to reestablish precolonial life and it is presently encumbered by colonial mentality and cultural artifacts. The future is dicy.

Who is the source for the quote at 7:00?
It is from Obafemi Awolowo. From a 1973 speech. You can find it here: ui.edu.ng/sites/default/files/25TH%20FOUNDATION%20DAY,1973.pdf
