I listened to a recent interview of mr president at Al Jazeera and could not but kept asking, "how did we get here?".

PMB admitted not having good knowledge of the budget that generated so much issues compare to the interviewer. I would have thought judging from the "alleged padding" the president would have equipped himself with full understanding of the budget and ability to clearly explain why the VP has got more money for books compare to some of our higher institutions.

The president also lack empathy when he said, if you want to study abroad, search for the currency at your own expense as the official forex cannot support it. This is despite the president having kids studying abroad ..... tough luck. If the president does not know the benefit of foreign education to the development of our fragile economy, then who should? we have chemistry PhD holders from Nigerian Universities who has never seen an High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) let alone a Gas chromatography mass spec (GCMS) and the president is proud to discourage opportunities to widen knowledge? Nigerians in diaspora sent $20billion home in 2015, this is so because some Nigerians that studied abroad and gainfully employed are sending money back home.

Also Nigerians that studied abroad and now working in Nigeria are clearly using their skills to further develop our country.

Conclusively, any country that push back education either locally or internationally is threading on the path of ignorance.

Unfortunately PMB had F9 for english and maths in the "result" he showed us so I don't expect him to understand what u just wrote
