      “We learn irrelevant knowledge and we call it higher education”

      – Ancestor Aakhu Amos Wilson

      To: Decolonial Scholars in the AKKKademia (Euroversities)

      Yours is really the problematic of the discourse of epistemologies of dislocation.

      This is how :-

      1. You want to decolonize the very institutional epistemological conduit of colonialism. You want to decolonize what was never colonized in the first place but produced and institutionalised to colonize our minds and disorient our consciousness.

      2. You want to re-Afrikanize what was never Afrikan in the first place. Your decolonial studies and Afrikan Studies Departments are more of epistemological bantustans within the institutional framework of hegemonic epistemologies of Europe.

      3. What needs to be decolonized is a seperate knowledge stream – our indigenous knowledges, you were not trained in, located outside of the mentacide camps you work and research for – our indigenous knowledges we are yet to establish institutions that will house and disseminate them.

      4. Dr. Baba Buntu , speaking at the Black History month held at the University of Witwatersrand, in 2018, made a compelling argument that laid bare the decolonial scholarship fallacy in universities to say something to the effect that decolonizing education is not sprinkling cute Afrocentric topics all over the eurocentric curriculum.

      5. You write papers on your people and have them published in academic journals they can’t access and pose to them as authorities on Afrikan truth using your at the peak academic arsenal for your credibility.
