“Prof. Mike Ozekhome: You are long overdue for full professorship by American and European academic and experiential standards. Especially when your published professional, media, and digital writings are all over the globe. Thank God for computerized information as students, scholars, and practitioners in the areas of legal studies, criminal justice, and social science have continued to access your writings and verbal words. Through period virtual classes at American Heritage University more Americans will hear you directly.
“In the African educational settings merely spending physical presence in universities for 10 to 12 years allow you to steadily climb to professorship sometimes with limited real-world writings to change or contribute to society. That is not your case. Nigeria is lucky to have you in its physical presence.
“Wish you good health and longevity.”
Prof John Egbeazien Oshodi
Founder of Psychoafricalytic Psychology.
