#NIGERIAFIRST: Professor Moses E. U. Tedheke in His Later Years Took Particular Interest in Chiekh Anta Diop. This His Popular Quote “European languages must not be considered diamonds displayed under a glass ball, dazzling us with their brilliance” Was one of His Finest.

2. How Can Africans Be Waohed With the Spoken English, How Can Nigerians Relegate Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba For The English man's English and Not Even Our Own Pidgin?

TANKO JUBRIL, The Local Head of Nigeria Farmers Group & Cooperative Society Does not Speak English, but Can Repair

3. and Upgrade Tractors. He is able to Manage 300 People Without The Command of English, in The Words of 'Mwalimu' My Father, Tanko is Literate and The Elites Who Ridicule Him are Educated in Stupidity and Lost in the Insanity of Miseducation.

Prof Noted That Until and Unless

4. African and Nigeria Unlearn The Insanity of Cultural Destruction and Replacing it with a Foreign Culture That does nothing but Continues to Enslave our People, Nigeria Will Never Be able to Answer The National Question of Sustainable Economic & Cultural Socio Political Growth.

5. Africa Must Look. Towards Asia not The West.

That Time Must Come Soon When #PMB Addresses The UN General Assembly in Hausa, Followed By Prof. Osibanjo Addressing The Assembly in Yoruba and Then The Foreign Minister Doing The Honour of Addressing The Assembly in Ibo.

6. Our Budgets must be Presented in Our Mother Tongues, Even if we Must Consider anything Close to the Colonial Destructive English, It Must Be PIDGIN.

The Development Impact Will Be Humongous, Our Young will not need to be Ashamed of Speaking Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba Plus Pidgin.

7. Just Like The Chinese, French, The Germans, The Portuguese & Russians Plus The Rest of the World. Africa Must Export Our Culture and Reject Cultures That Destroys. The Western Culture Had not been a blessing, It has been a Curse.

In Closing, Prof MEU Tedheke Would Remind Me

8. in the Words of Chiekh Anta Diop That “Only a loyal, determined struggle to destroy cultural aggression and bring out the truth, whatever it may be, is revolutionary and consonant with real progress; it is the only approach which opens on to the universal. Humanitarian

9. declarations are not called for and add nothing to real progress.”

More Importantly, We Must Accept The History as Told by Africans not as Imported. You Cannot Tell The Africans and The Nigerians That Mungo Park Discovered The Niger When Our Ancestors Led Him There. That is

10. The Fraud Called Historical Discovery Instead of Calling it What it is. The Cultural Theft of the Europeans in the Attempt to Destroy The Africa Historical Supremacy over That of the West Must be stopped by Africans.

Because Diop Noted Finally That “When we say that the

11. ancestors of the Blacks, who today live mainly in Black Africa, were the first to invent mathematics, astronomy, the calendar, sciences in general, arts, religion, agriculture, social organization, medicine, writing, technique, architecture; that they were the first to erect

12. buildings out of 6 million tons of stone (the Great Pyramid) as architects and engineers—not simply as unskilled laborers; that they built the immense temple of Karnak, that forest of columns with its famed hypostyle hall large enough to hold Notre-Dame and its towers; that

13. they sculpted the first colossal statues (Colossi of Memnon, etc.)—when we say all that, we are merely expressing the plain unvarnished truth that none today can refute by arguments worthy of the name.”

Cheick Anta Diop Was one of Prof MEU Tedheke Finest Historical Teacher,

14. These Books and More Will Be in the Nationalistic Library to Be Built in His Honour in Ga'ate, Kokona LGA, Nasarawa State.

The Prof is Resting While Alive in His Own Words.
