One of the subtle ways of hindering the possibility of securing a united and developed Africa is to relegate the African scholar to the background in the global academia. There are some evidences indicating the fact that the African scholar has not being able to contribute to the development of his/her continent because of some alienating strategies in the areas of power control and publishing/promotion. It is however, regrettable that the alienating experience of the African scholar is two-dimensional. There is the external dimension in which case the Euro-western world continues to dominate the terrain of academia. The internal dimension appears to be worse because it is self-imposed through adoption of academic curricula foreign to the African context. This paper therefore, advocates that the African Scholar should intentionally intensify his/her participation in the global academia in a way that will contribute to securing a united and developed Africa.
