Abstract
Evaluation of English language knowledge without consideration of pragmatic use lures ‘the poor' to Western academia. Thus, not addressing their own issues, this results in an unhelpful brain drain and magnet. Wholistic evaluation would, by undoing this lure, enable educational focus on indigenous concerns in Africa. The secularisation-project, that demotes other people's ways of life into ‘world religions' status, and ignores impacts of Christianity on world history, is subjected to critical scrutiny.
