Professor Devalerie NYM Botchwey of the history department of the University of Cape Coast has challenged the concept that Africans must dispel ways adopted from the colonial order emphasizing that a total return to African culture and ideals is impossible.

“We must understand that colonialism is still very much alive and it is called neo-colonialism” he noted.

Professor Botchwey explains that the advancement of Africans can be realized in a form of a dialectic where syntheses could be drawn from careful consideration of both old ways of the African and the new ways of adaption of colonial culture.
