It's great to see these brilliant young minds achieving academic success and what not, but the problem with Nigerians centres around their lack of creativity. It's not always about being book smart, some of the technological inventions we enjoy today weren't created by the top students but by curious minds. I know a guy who's so smart and has 4 PhDs but he has never worked a day in his life, after he completes one degree, he goes back for another one. This guy is 45 years old and he's going for his 5th post graduate degree. I wish them well, and I hope they make us proud. Perhaps one day my own children will sing their song like I recite this quote "in 1994 Rashidi Yekini became the first Nigerian player to score in the World Cup tournament where we defeated Bulgaria 3-0." 10 Likes 2 Shares |
