That's Why Africa Is A Dumping Ground... by noibilism(m): 12:58pm On Oct 16, 2014
We barely produce, we just consume!
My generation has knowledge and technology in our palms but keeps using it wrongly, except for entertainment and trending hashtags of gossips.
The current boom in entertainment is good but a threat to a society of strong ethics and value that yields tangible success!
Entertainment is not a sustaining model in economics; no serious society grows a great nation from it. Logically, there can only be 1 Wizkid, Linda Ikeji and Genevieve in 1 million. And that's assuming you have the talent and great work ethics that they have.

Stop the pursuits of just El dorado and glamour. Turn off your internet and data if you don't know what to do with it!
Turn off TV, put in work. And someone will turn on his TV to watch you!
In today’s world, thanks to media, “Entertainment, Sexy Looks are more valuable than brains & principles”.
And that’s why more Nigerians on DSTV subscribe more to MTV than Bloomberg, with more Soundcity than CNBC, more OnTV than CNN.
ou are what you value. Average people going NOWHERE value entertainment, great people growing RICH value education.
 
The America you "wannaBe" was built by great young men like Ford, Carnegie, Abraham Lincoln, Rockefeller etc . Only later, it became the entertainment capital of the world with trillions of dollars in debt. China is the industrial capital of the world with the fastest growing economy.
My dear, get your priorities right!
If we are not getting better, then we are getting worse! 
Keep learning,
Break Barriers!
