Oil Tanks exhausted, Think Tanks Needed
Should Nigeria migrate from oil to soil, as is often suggested. I think not. It should leapfrog into the Information Age. Nigeria cannot return to an agricultural age because the West is being urbanized, the East is being eroded, and the North is being desertified. A Nigeria without oil must make the transition to a knowledge-based economy.

Nollywood can redefine 21st century Africa as the continent of arts and innovation. If Nigerians have an average of three children per couple, it will become the world's third most populous nation in 50 years. It will lag behind China and India, but will have a greater population density. Where will we find farmland? My grandfather's farmland was located where Onitsha market now lies. For countless centuries, my Igbo ancestors were farmers. Sons walked in their father's footsteps, ploughing the same land. Their life expectancy was about 37 years.

Make dis phillip guy go pack well.

He should be in jail for hoodwinking his home country claiming to be what he is not.

Hate him or love him, he has achieved what majority of Nigerians will never achieve. It may be exaggerated, yet you can't deny the fact that he is an enigma. One more lesson for you: those who focus on the wrong side of people rarely move ahead in life. While you are busy criticizing them they are making more impact while you have not moved a step from Nairaland where you stay and waste your bytes and time. So use your time to do something more constructive than looking for who to bash. Try it and thank me later

In as much as I respect your fight for sincerity, I would also want to let you know that you believed the White stories, because slavery made most of you believe everything White is Right. But that is false. They wrote what they wanted you to read. Have you ever read that Shakespeare did not write the books attributed to him(Google it!) or that Neil Armstrong never landed on the moon? The white conspiracy theories that amplifies their achievement and belittles yours caught up with you and you swallowed them and now using it as an example against your black brother. Even the Sahara Reporter that blew the whistle cannot deny that Philip Emeagwali had a Gordons Award, owns two masters Degree, is a geologist, mathematician and engineer all of which are great feats.
