| Gaia: | The choice of a title as this one was not fortuitous; it
was deliberate. Earlier I selected a very innocuous sounding
title: "Political Mobilization and Development." My colleagues
reminded me that this was an inaugural address and not
a seminar paper and that my predecessors had selected such
striking titles as, "All flesh is grass", "History and Society".
So in this Great Ife tradition, I settled for "Guns, Pens and
Words".... guns representing the military; pen, the intellectuals;
and words, the politicians. Politicians, of course, these
days have more than words, they have money. I do hope
then that a title, starting with 'guns' is sufficiently pointed
and striking. |
