All in all, Mr. Yankah was an active member of government for some 20 years and had the prime opportunity to have proposed and initiated the Year of Return commemorative festivities but clearly chose not to. You know, Mr. Yankah, we are not dealing with a bunch of toddlers and teenagers here. Then also, nobody, as far as I can tell, prevented Mr. Yankah from using his so-called African University of Communications in active support of the Year of Return commemorative festivities. I mean, what really prevented Mr. Yankah from linking the Year of Return up with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) hereabouts in the United States? Has Mr. Yankah ever heard of Martin Delaney and Alexander Crummell, among others, and their abortive Emigration Settlement Project to the Niger-Bend in present-day Nigeria?
