From Ghana’s Exodus to Nigeria’s Failings: Pan Africanism, Corruption, and the Road Ahead

In this thought-provoking interview, Professor Ademola Araoye, author of The Ghettos of Pan Africanism, delivers an unflinching critique of how Pan Africanism-once a rallying cry for black unity and emancipation-has been undermined by political misinterpretations, ethnic divisions, and the failures of African states. Reflecting on his personal journey, Professor Araoye shares poignant memories of his family’s forced departure from Ghana and the challenges they faced upon arriving in Nigeria, including the exploitation of a corrupt school system.
With sharp analysis, he explores the rejection of Pan African ideals in 1963 and its far-reaching implications for Africa’s struggles today. Professor Araoye also examines the failing Nigerian system and makes a powerful call for a reappraisal of the continent's trajectory. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in African history, politics, and the quest for black humanity's common destiny.
