MODERN TECHNOLOGY: NIGERIA'S OPTION OUT OF HERE

Odudele John Ayodeji.

We don’t need miracle before we improve our economy but we need to compare Venezuela, Greece and Japan before we could talk about how to change the issues battling with our economic difficulties.

As I observed, modern technology is one of the solutions to Nigeria crisis at this time of economy recession, terrorist attacks and fierce rate of corruption.

One of the solutions to bring back our economy is technology. Technology is a body of knowledge devoted to creating tools, processing actions and extracting of  materials. We can conquer terrorism Nigeria as a country is well developed in terms of technology.

Recession is known as a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activities are reduced, generally identified by a fall in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in two successive quarters.

You should ask me how technology can help this situation. Japan economy was on recession around 2013 and 2014 and within a year to two Japan was among the first to third leading world’s economy. What’s the reason behind their success- is advanced technology.

Mr. President, Nigeria needs technology; you can’t fight corruption without this. The youth nowadays will not practice agriculture the way it was practised in the ancient days. IMF and AfDB can’t bail us out.

Venezuela has once been the country leading exporters of oil, they entered economic recession in 2015 but it has been surfacing since 2010 when there was increase in poverty, later led to malnutrition among children.

Nigeria and Venezuela have almost the same issues but I pray Nigeria will soon be out of this mess. What makes Venezuela so poor? Is because their only source of revenue comes from oil, they are currently battling with food crisis.

Agro-tech will help Nigeria a lot, if we can invest in it, all am talking about is technology. Greece and Venezuela lacks technology- there economy is yet to resurface. Nigeria lacks technology – what’s going to happen if we don’t invest in it.

#MADEINNIGERIA – to achieve our aim with made in Nigeria project, don’t we need technology? Advanced technology countries never remain at the back. Change is required for every country in the world as time passes.
