As part of his tour to Nigeria to promote an Africa/America partnership in the growth and development of Africa, The CEO/Founder of the African World Network Organisation, Inc, a registered non-profit organisation based in the United States of America, Prof. Nchor Bichene Okorn, has paid a courtesy call to the Executive Producer, and Anchor of the popular television show "NIGERIA WE SERVE" on the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA 2, Lagos Network Center.
The Professor who also doubles as a
Professor of Political Science, Dillard University, New Orleans, USA honoured
the invitation to be on "NIGERIA WE SERVE" on Saturday, August 10, 2013, where he spoke objectively
on "DEMOCRACY, DEMOCRATIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON GOOD GOVERNANCE IN
NIGERIA" to the flabbergast and enthusiasm of Nigerians.
During the interview, he acknowledged
the efforts of great Nigerian elites and Statesmen like President Olusegun
Obasanjo, former President of Nigeria,
Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Ex military President of Nigeria, Gen. Ibrahim
Badamosi Babangida, Ex Military President,
Nigeria and the military elites who have deemed it necessary to preserve
the democracy of Nigeria, and urged them to keep it that way.
He continued, that the Citizens of
Nigeria have sustained Nigeria's democracy for 14 years uninterrupted because
the democracy belongs to them, and lauded the country's democratization even
though he spotted some challenges like: hunger, poverty, and illiteracy still
hovering around the nation.
In a conversational, enlightening and
highly analytically interview with the host, Okim-Alobi Oyama, Prof. Okorn gave
credit to the ruling government and Political party, PDP for embracing good
opposition by registering the All Progressive Congress, (APC) and
stated it clearly that there is no monopoly of ideas and that both
parties cannot be right and wrong all the time but need each other for good
governance and democracy to thrive.
Although, he spoke extensively on
several issues, he proffered meritocracy as a panacea to strengthening
Nigeria's Democracy and called on every Nigerian, especially those in the diaspora to do what
they can to promote the country, and cited his organisation, The African World Network Organisation, Inc
based in the USA as one organisation that has continually, and persistently
promoted African art, culture fashion,
music, and her trade to the rest of the world thereby creating an Africa
where corruption is eliminated, poverty is alleviated and illiteracy solved.
