A Review of Ikuemonisan Bababo's "Ayetoro Sea Incursion: Reflective Discourse and Urgent Need to Open Up Ondo South In Ondo State, Nigeria, For Patent Development" by Barri. Moshood Antaeus Pedro.

 


My recent publication on Ayetoro is receiving positive reviews from readers and needed attention from necessary quarters. As a Screenwriter, a Filmmaker and a Researcher, I hold people who painstakingly review any literary writing or a piece of art so dear to my heart. I am therefore grateful to everyone for his/her Review.

Following the rave reviews the work has garnered. I thought it wise to publish some critical evaluation of the cerebral piece and I shall begin with the review of Barri. Moshood Antaeus Pedro.

Barrister Pedro is a distinct Legal Luminary, a Fecund Researcher and a Cultural Enthusiast like myself. However, with a stint in Programming.

Barrister Pedro had a great time reading the paper and upon completing it sent in his review 👇🏻

I went through your work properly today with attention to details. In fact, your analytical performance is highly commendable.
The illustration and the connection of facts from various sources really place the work, in my opinion, among First class research works.
It is an eye-opening research to the reality of the plight that the residents of the area (your region) are presently facing and a call for investigation into the unaccountable channels that the resources earmarked for the projects were allocated.

You did well through a comparative study of the regions both locally and internationally that have succeeded in overcoming the challenge of Sea Incursion and now benefiting tremendously from the success till date.
Your recommendation will really go a long way if implemented.
You did well in the abstract because it captures the cogent point the entire structure is based upon.

You stated the problems with eye for details and the question you raised in fact excused whatever the legal action that may be politically motivated to challenge your claims concerning the stakeholders that failed in their respective offices. Adekunle Ajasin University provides similar case study. It is a common African phenomenon to establish a fake company with an intention to divert money allocated for social services for private use.
Back then, some projects that started under Prof. Femi Mimiko, for unknown reasons got stalled immediately Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun took over office as Vice Chancellor.

Although, you opened a can of worms on the avaricious and mindless corruption and official profligacy by top Leaders in Ondo State from your region. However, you didn't accuse anyone of financial misconduct. You only did that to bring to the fore the negligence or oversight of government and its interventionist agencies and propel responsible stakeholders to hold the companies accountable and the legal ground to compel the state government to account for the incompetency of the companies and earnestly investigate the companies and the individuals in question.
Reading between the lines, the failure to use the mandate of their offices to bring the companies in question to account really means a lot or when private individuals decide to collectively institute action against the companies.

The work is a top-notch scholarly effort.
Keep it up, sir. I love reading your research work. Yours and that of few others keep me mentally stimulated. I will go through the work again and extract some political fact from there for future reference. Some political antics have been replicated across the globe. So, that will help to understand the trend and come up with theories.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge/work. More strength.
