This is what fellowships are for in the first plac<span lang="EN-GB">e,</span> Look it up.. This is how everything works in the world, regardless of the field. partiality is an essential part of fellowships, whether it’s direct or indirect.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Now that we cleared that out for probably the hundredth time, let us take the IOF as an example of many. Let me quote from the IOF website : “IOF organises political activities and actions of multilateral cooperation that benefit French-speaking populations.” The organization is literally letting you know that they only spend money on a specific small group of people that benefits another small group. We are talking about Africans discriminating Africans, their own people. And this is not yet the funny part because what’s really laughable is that<span lang="EN-GB"> the IOF</span> is <span lang="EN-GB">only </span>sponsoring Africans <span lang="EN-GB">based on a spoken language that is not originally theirs </span>in the first place<span lang="EN-GB"> and discriminates against people of other languages</span>. That is the bigger picture my friends. So let’s be real for a second and ask ourselves who is really working against the <span lang="EN-GB">African Community and dividing the unity as seen in recent weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I would really understand if this whole matter started as an innocent question from someone from the community that is trying to have answers to his questions or that simply doesn’t agree with something, but people that started this have obviously personal interests and motives that do not represent the African community as a whole but rather their own as individuals or groups. And we are sick and tired of us Africans being played like that. Let’s focus on what really matters to the community because there is definitely a lot we can be productive about and help our dear continent that is suffering.<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></p><div dir="ltr">Kind regards </div><div dir="ltr">Taiwo</div></body></html>
