PER CURIAM:
Solomon Oladeji Akiode seeks review of the Board of Immigra-
tion Appeals’ (“Board”) decision and order dismissing his appeal
from the immigration judge’s denial of his application for asylum
and withholding of deportation. Our review of the record discloses
that the Board properly found that Akiode failed to establish a
well-founded fear of persecution. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the Board. See Akiode v. INS, No. A29-846-895 (B.I.A.
Mar. 10, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
